My name is Shane Jenkins, Enrique Tario, Robert Morris, Daniel Caldwell, my name is Nikki.
My name is Pete Schwartz, Barry Ramey, Ryan Nichols, Deborah Mamau, John Neseve, Jordan Manks, George, White Wolf Riley, Robert Geeswine, Daudrian Southern, Andrew Taki, Jessica Watkins, Timothy Hale, Tomiku, Billy Cressman.
This anthem means a lot to me because it's what held us together.
Against the odds, our faith that our days of this nation will be renewed is still there.
We formed bonds that can never be broken.
I, along with my brothers and sisters, weather the storm.
steve bannon
We will never stop fighting for this country.
unidentified
And my friends and my brothers that also helped me through this tough time.
Because we are what makes this country the greatest country on this planet.
In this moment, in this anthem, is living.
We sing for all the people who never made it home.
Through us, their stories will be told.
We stand as one united in this fight for liberty.
Justice full of our voices ring the phantom of the free.
Freedom ain't free, no, it comes with a price.
Rest in peace, Charlie, can't believe they took your life.
Didn't make it back home to your children and wife.
By any means, we have to keep freedom of speech alive.
Hey, rest in peace, Corey, all the fires that you fight.
To the cops and military that been fighting day and night.
So we could have liberty and our God-given rights.
To all the mothers and fathers that's just trying to protect their child.
Hey, freedom worth dying for, dreams worth fighting for.
God got us, I promise that's the reason I smile.
Protesting with our voice and our presence and our words.
We ain't killing people for disagreeing, man.
That's absurd.
We ain't burning down cities because we pray to you.
victor willis
We sing for all the people who never made it home.
unidentified
Through us their stories will be told.
We stand as one.
United in this fight for liberty.
Justice full of our voices ring.
The pandemoni.
Hey.
Stop killing people that just want to debate.
When we protest and you ain't seen no cuts and no flames.
We don't have to agree.
We ain't gotta think the same.
Country built on conservative values.
Let's reclaim it.
It's not about hate.
We just wanna feel heard.
We're standing for the truth, not just following the herd.
You can love your country and still call out its flaws.
You can back the Constitution and still question the laws.
We don't wanna be killed just for speaking our voice.
God coming soon, man, so it's time to rejoice.
Let the ballots be counted, let the questions be asked.
Let the people decide, don't just bury the past.
And don't let evil get you down, cause God will be aware of this.
We stand for all the people who never made it home through us.
We stand as one united in this fight for liberty.
Justice full of our voices ring the phantom of the free.
steve bannon
Another person that I have to thank is Donald J. Trump.
unidentified
Our brotherhood that we built and the country we believed in and especially our president, we never would have made it out.
steve bannon
Blessed by God, pardoned by Trump.
unidentified
Thank you, Donald Trump for pardoning us and giving us a second chance on life.
steve bannon
President Trump for pardoning me.
For saving my soul and Donald Trump for giving me the part.
unidentified
I want to thank Donald Trump for parting us.
And it's the only reason that we're here today, all together, free, with smiles on our faces.
steve bannon
the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people.
Here's 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 try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
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.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
We are at, we're live at AmFest 2025.
I want to thank everybody here in downtown Phoenix.
It's been absolutely spectacular.
Of course, it's 8 o'clock Mountain Standard Time here right now.
The gates don't open right now, but we've got a hardcore.
Can we get a shot over here of the these are the dead enders?
Did you guys spend the night in the building?
Wow.
This crowd's going to be amped up today.
Okay, that was the J6 choir, the Anthem of the Free, new song of a new album coming out.
The song was released last night.
Our task and purpose today is to drive that to number one on Billboard.
So I want to make sure I will get all the information about how you order it.
I want to start the show off by going to the White House, one convict to another, J6, Dr. Peter Navarro.
Of course, Peter, I don't know if you can be called a convict.
You actually went to Club Fed.
I went to a prison.
But in your book, I know it was very hard there.
What do you think about the J6 prison choir doing this amazing song called the Anthem of Freedom?
The Anthem of the Free, sir.
peter navarro
I was hoping it'd go on a little longer so I wouldn't have to be insulted by you.
No, that's beautiful music, Steve.
And it will go to number one.
That's my first macro prediction today.
It will be number one.
steve bannon
Wow.
By the way, there's a film on the whole making of J6, the story you've never heard, the making of the album.
We're going to have more on that today.
I think we're going to play a trailer.
Parker, Sig, and Dance, some of the other people who worked on it are going to be up here.
I want to drive those both.
Okay.
Dr. Navarro, people, the mainstream media and some other people.
peter navarro
Before you do the economic.
steve bannon
Peter, one second here.
peter navarro
Yeah, give me a second.
One second, because I want to say something to the folks at Amfest.
Charlie lives on in many ways, including the expansion of Turning Point exponentially.
But I want everybody to know that Charlie lives on here within the Trump administration because after he helped the president win that election, he went into the transition, worked with the personnel director, the great Sergio Gore.
And Charlie had a big hand in selecting what would be thousands of people, thousands of people to come in and work in this administration.
So every day that those people are here pulling an oar for Trump, Charlie had a hand in putting them in their seats, and we should remember that.
And Turning Point needs to really to honor Charlie's legacy ultimately is going to be to be able to have the kind of impact on elections starting in the November 2026 congressional elections that we cannot afford to lose.
So I just want to give my own tribute to Charlie and let people know how intimately involved he was in staffing this administration, Steve.
Thank you.
steve bannon
No, Peter, I think that's very important.
A lot of folks don't know the depth of Charlie's involvement in the transition and after the president took the oath of office.
Remember Charlie and the Real America's Voice guys know this.
So many times they would do the show back from the Real America's Voice DC studio because Charlie was over the White House a lot helping Sergio Gore.
He also would talk to people a lot about policy, particularly policies he was very engaged in, like deportations, sealing the border, all that.
Charlie had a huge role in this administration, a huge role in forming the administration.
So, Peter, one of our thesis here, because the war imposse the tip of the spear, and I want to just make sure people know the history here.
We won the 16 election, right?
The greatest comeback in American political history, correct?
18 midterms, not the best.
People took the eye off the ball.
Nancy Pelosi went around and preached the gospel of impeaching Trump, and they wiped us out.
I think it was 35 or 40 seats.
But if you look at 2020, we won the 2020 election.
President Trump's going to be coming out with a ton of information about that.
We also picked up net 12 House seats, which has never been done, right?
We picked up net 12 House seats against Nancy Pelosi.
In 22, with Turning Point and you, we won the midterm elections and took back the House, and we won in 24.
If you go back and look at really from 2015 over the last 10 years, 10 years, we've lost one federal election, and that was in 18, when the President Trump's first term, they kind of took their eye off the ball in the House.
Nancy Pelosi ran on impeaching President Trump just like Hakeem Jeffries did.
That's why this coming year, Dr. Navarro, I want you to talk about economics for a second.
The president's going to North Carolina.
He's going to sign a big executive order this afternoon.
We'll cover it live, I think, during the Charlie Kirk show in Real America's Voice.
President's going to North Carolina.
He's going to continue on with his economic speech.
The Secretary of the Treasury is saying end of first quarter, second quarter, a lot of the big, beautiful bill capital expenditures will kick in.
Walk us through both the combination of the tariff and the big, beautiful bill depreciation schedule on bringing high-value added manufacturing jobs back here to the United States, sir.
peter navarro
All right, let's start with the big picture.
Let's start with what the Democrats are trying to do.
What the Democrats are trying to do is use all the inflation they created to undermine the Trump administration.
We inherited what the boss has called a mess, and it was a legitimate mess.
And the mantra that we have to continually say is that Democrats cause inflation, Trump cures inflation.
And what I'm doing in my office here To pull an oar on this inflation fight is deconstruct each of the pieces of the puzzle, Steve.
So you've got the biggest area where it's housing that you've got to worry about.
You got food, you got transportation, you got health care.
Those are like the biggies, right?
And unique to each one of those sectors is why inflation got out of control and therefore how that you're going to fix it.
And thematically, your audience and the audience at Amfest today, you start, for example, with border security.
How could that possibly relate to inflation?
Well, it turns out that for every 1 million illegals that Biden led into the country over four years, that increased housing costs and rents by 1%.
So if you scale that up to the 20 million illegals that he brought in, that's a 20% national increase, Steve.
A 20% increase from illegal immigration in housing costs and rents.
But it's not, it's worse than that because a lot of that's focused in the blue states and sanctuary cities.
So you get places like New York experiencing these hyper increases in rents.
And then you get a guy like Mom Dami coming in and ironically and perversely trying to leverage that crisis into getting elected.
And see, that there is the microcosm of what we've got to fight against.
Because what you got to remind people is, first of all, they caused it with their illegal immigration.
There's cause and effect there.
We're fixing it by sealing the border.
But the other part of the puzzle here is that a lot of the inflation we're fighting, you can't, it's not an on-off switch like a light.
It's more like an aircraft carrier that you got to turn around very slowly.
So we are engaged in all of that.
If you look at, for example, food prices, very interesting.
unidentified
Chicken versus beef.
peter navarro
Egg prices were literally off the charts.
You couldn't even have a chart historically to chart egg prices.
And it was the result, among other things, of Joe Biden's great chicken slaughter.
He literally killed 80 million chickens in an overreaction to an avian flu.
Hey, we've been able to solve that very quickly because it only takes 45 days from hatching to getting a broiler in a supermarket.
So that one was like, so we've been asked with Agilent.
steve bannon
Dr. Navarro.
Dr. Navarro, hang on for one second.
We're taking a short commercial break.
We're going to turn to AmFest Live.

Okay, welcome back.
The doors.
The doors are finally open.
This is the early bird crowd.
Now, tonight, O'Keefe and everybody having these big parties.
Tonight's party night.
So, I'm not expecting to see you guys here quite so early tomorrow morning.
So, we're going to get done.
We've got to get done.
Brian Glenn joins us.
brian glenn
Thank you.
steve bannon
Hello, everybody.
brian glenn
Good morning.
Good morning.
steve bannon
Is Brian the greatest of all White House correspondents?
brian glenn
I try.
steve bannon
No, President Trump calls on you first all the time.
brian glenn
I try.
Thank you.
steve bannon
Even with your current issues.
brian glenn
Which we can discuss.
I don't know.
steve bannon
As President Trump said when he was walking around the alligator thing with DeSantis, he came up on foreign correspondence around it.
Came over, and Brian says, That's MTG's boyfriend.
That's his heavy lifting.
unidentified
No, he goes, Can you imagine being him?
brian glenn
It's like, well, sir, whoa, off the top of the head.
steve bannon
Dr. Peter Navarro, the White House, what do you expect tonight?
Here's what I want to say: is that you can tell the great, you saw the inflation number yesterday drop, right?
Just rub their nose in it because they all mock Trump.
It's all this affordability crap.
The team of Scott Besson and Peter Navarro and Hassett over NEC, the entire economic team is working nonstop.
President Trump's got a plan.
You can see the green sprouts of that plan right now.
And what I'm telling you right now, this year is going to be the hardest year we ever had.
Of all those fights I went back to 2016, remember, we've only lost once in 2018, right?
Only lost once.
Of all those fights, the fight we're going to have this November is going to be the hardest and nastiest ever.
And you know why?
Because Dr. Navarro and Scott Besson working with the president are going to take the economic issue off the table.
And that's when the Democrats are going to have to get nasty, right?
They got nothing else to run about except affordability.
Dr. Navarro, can you give us a preview tonight?
President Trump's in North Carolina.
He's down there.
He's going to address the nation again on economics.
What do you got for us?
peter navarro
Well, I'll be there.
I'll have a front row seat to that, Steve.
And he's going to continue the themes, basically explaining first that we inherited a mess.
I think that's really important for people to understand.
I mean, and then he's going to explain what we're doing and why there's more than good light at the end of the tunnel.
I mean, if you think about the big, beautiful bill, that's like the most underrated piece of legislation I've ever seen because all those good things that are coming in 2026 as a result of that are going to come hard and beautiful.
Take, for example, the 100% expensing of investment.
Okay, that is going to provoke a wave first of construction jobs and then of factory jobs.
It's going to be a big, beautiful thing.
People are going to get a major, probably the biggest rebate in their income taxes in history.
This is not hyperbole.
It's because, first of all, the way people are paying in the withholding tax hasn't been adjusted for the new tax bill.
So it's being taken out like it's usually taken out.
It's usually taken out like it's never been rebated.
steve bannon
Great taxes.
peter navarro
Listen, taxes.
steve bannon
Let me be blunt.
Outside of the war room, talking about your tariffs, how it's driving manufacturing back, plus generating cash, and the big, beautiful bill capital expenditure part, it's not, I mean, the White House and Treasury, you guys are rock stars.
Every day we've got to be hammering that.
Sometimes I feel that's only the war room that talks about how it's all interlinked.
You guys are the best.
I think that's why the president, they criticized the president for going so fast the other night.
Well, he's got so much to talk about.
They only gave him 20 minutes, right?
I mean, that was bum, ba-ba-ba-boom, right?
Peter, is the White House, yourself, Scott Besson, everybody now on point that every day we're going to hammer?
Because the guys in the House, you never hear about the Big Beautiful Bill, do you?
I mean, we moved heaven and earth.
You audience move heaven and earth to get this thing done.
We don't hear about it.
Are you guys committed, Peter, to sell this every day so the American people know exactly kind of the plan and how you're hitting your marks in the plan, sir?
peter navarro
Yeah, I can tell you that that is my mission, Steve, between now and November.
My total focus is going to be on not just messaging, because that's just messaging.
I'm working on concrete ways to get the inflation rate down and wages up.
That's kind of what I do.
So I'm totally focused on that.
For your listeners and viewers, check my sub stack on a regular basis because I'm putting out analyses every time reports come out and op-eds and things like that.
For example, let's take the beef thing.
We were talking the last segment, how we reached solved the chicken problem.
The beef thing is really interesting, Steve.
Biden comes in with the soy burger Green Deal mentality, right?
And the first thing he does is reduces grazing area for cattle, which drives up the costs, right?
And it's a mess.
steve bannon
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Whoa, You know, I feel like you give me an economics lecture.
It's great.
But I got a live crowd here that got up at O Dark 30 to get through this thing.
Are you going to break up the cartels from Brazil?
No, you're going to break up the cartel.
These people are coming.
It's early, baby.
Yeah.
Even from the war room policy, it's early.
Peter, are you going to break up?
Hang on.
They want action, action, action.
We're tired of talking about stuff, right?
We want action.
Why in the hell we got this Brazilian, what are we going to do with these Brazilian cartels?
You got Bolsonar in prison.
You got Lula.
We're playing FTSE with Lula.
What are you going to do about these Brazilians in this cartel, brother?
peter navarro
On November 7th, the president ordered the Department of Justice to begin actions that will lead to this cartel.
It's not just the Brazilians.
You got four firms that control 85% of beef processing.
Okay, so they screw consumers up at the supermarket level.
They screw ranchers below.
And we pay the price in terms of higher hamburger prices.
So as we speak, we are actively moving towards a situation where we'll be able to crack down significantly on the two American portions of the cartel, which are Tysons and Cargill, and the two portions that are Brazilian troll, which are National Beef and JBS.
And it's even more complicated, Steve, because the Brazilians are in bed with the Chinese.
It's like the Brazils are the biggest exporter of beef.
China's the biggest importer.
We are number two in terms of both exports and imports.
And we saw, for example, when we put the...
steve bannon
Is the beef too damn high?
Peter, you got to take action on that.
Look, we got to bounce, Peter.
Where do people go for your sub stack?
I appreciate you starting the day off at the White House.
Will join us here at Amfest.
We really appreciate it.
I very much appreciate the tribute to Charlie Kirk.
You knew this because you worked with him every day.
He was in the White House.
Where do people go for all of your content, your substack, all of it, Dr. Noah, and these videos that you're putting out?
Where do people go?
peter navarro
Just go to PeterNavara.com.
It's a one-stop shop for Substack, X, Getter, TrueSocial, Instagram, PeterNavara.com, and tune into the war room regularly because I'll be talking to Mr. Bannon.
We've got to get the message out.
We've got to reach beyond the war room, of course.
And that's part of my job, brother.
steve bannon
Amen.
Okay, brother, thank you.
Are you guys forced multiplier in the president's economic plan?
Can we get this thing done?
Ben Berquam, who we got a ministry over there.
What do you got for me?
Mike check.
ben bergquam
All right, real quick, shout out to Curtis Martin, one of the beef producers out of Oregon.
One of the crazy things, most people don't know this.
They can in beef, and as long as it's been on the ground in America for 24 hours, it's considered USA beef.
It's outrageous.
steve bannon
We want American beef.
ben bergquam
American beef from American ranchers.
For local producers.
steve bannon
American beef for American ranchers.
ben bergquam
It's unbelievable.
unidentified
All right.
ben bergquam
So tell us, Watchman Action.
Tell us about this.
Now, you guys were here at SAS in Tampa.
Tell us what happened and tell us about your organization.
rc williams
It was the three minutes that changed the ministry, Ben.
So I'm R.C. Williams, Juliana Armand.
Watchman Action equips the church to engage the culture by helping them build advocacy plans for core issues that matter to them most.
So after the three minutes last time, the ministry completely exploded.
Now we're speaking and teaching in multiple states.
So as we tell people when we speak, Ben, the band in effect is real.
steve bannon
Okay, we want, by the way, everybody in the audience from people you see today that come live over the next couple days, we want people, when we come, we want you to pitch your organization.
You've got a national platform here, and of course, with the Amfest, there's going to be a million more people watching.
So if you've got something you're working on, something you work with, we want you to make the pitch.
We love you guys.
How big an impact did it have?
rc williams
Oh, it's huge.
I mean, now we're going to three different states.
We're booked in January and into February already because people are hungry.
Action, action, action.
As Steve always says, by the way, if you didn't see Brian Glenn's rant this morning on American Sunrise, you should go back and watch it.
Talk about action.
ben bergquam
Hold it, hold it, hold it.
steve bannon
I don't know if I want rant competition.
American What?
Is that a show?
brian glenn
It was way too early.
unidentified
I wanted American Sunrise out here, Dr. G in the crowd.
steve bannon
Where do people go?
We want to make sure we double or triple it now.
Where do they go?
julianna ormond
So watchmanAction.org, you'll find everything Watchman Action and what we're doing.
If you're a church and organization and you want us to come in and help you build the strategy, that's what we do best.
steve bannon
Wow, the Watchmen, all along the watchtower.
Okay, remember, if you get up here, we want every organization, the organizations you support, the ones you work with, your organizations, make a pitch to the people.
Real quick before we go to break, tonight, where's President Trump going?
brian glenn
He is going to Rocky Mountain, North Carolina.
That is on the Western edge.
God's country.
steve bannon
Yes.
God's country.
brian glenn
Big furniture.
steve bannon
And he tar heels here.
Yeah.
There we go right there.
brian glenn
Tarhelium.
There you go.
Big furniture manufacturing area as well.
So pay attention to that.
I've got a story about the representative in that district and why he voted with Republicans.
steve bannon
Wow.
brian glenn
Yesterday.
steve bannon
Because he doesn't want to be turfed out come 26.
Not that we're going to turf him out.
We are going to turf him out.
Okay.
Short commercial break.
Frank Daffney, the Muslim Brotherhood, on the other side.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass.
steve bannon
We're live at Amfest.
Folks, we're so appreciative.
It's unbelievable.
Unbelievable you guys are here this early.
This is the pre-dawn crowd here at CPAC.
Now, listen, I just want to give you some rules of the road for people because, you know, I will take all the selfies with you.
We'll stick around for hours and sign everything.
And I realize we have a lot of fans here at the show.
We really appreciate it.
We love you guys.
However, when you send something out for me to sign, okay, don't start with a picture of Brian Glenn.
Are you kidding me?
I'm doing the heavy lift here.
That's good.
Wow.
brian glenn
I'm buying coffee for whoever sit in that picture, by the way.
steve bannon
Wow.
brian glenn
Give me my credit card.
steve bannon
So we're going to get this over here.
We'll do that in a little while.
This was the great Charlie Kirk.
That's great right there, Charlie.
We're going to do the handover today on the Charlie Kirk show.
You know, we've been tossing to Charlie and the team for what, three, four years?
So we'll do it today here live, as we always do.
One other housekeeping matter, Philip Patrick from Birch Gold.
We're not.
When I first partnered with Philip and the team at Birch, I said, look, so many of these guys are up there, they're selling gold.
I don't want to do that.
I'm not going to do it.
We don't do that.
What we do is provide services or products that people can get a relationship with senior management.
They can understand what's going on because this crowd wants to see the receipts, right?
You're guys like my parents, hardworking, but tight with a dollar, right?
If you're going to do it, spend it on something, you want to make sure it's worth it.
So we came up with this idea, and Philip was there.
Let's explain to people how gold is valued.
Let's explain to people what drives it.
I think gold was $1,000 an ounce when we did it, and it's higher than $1,000 an ounce today.
Silver, when we did the ultimate guide for President Trump's time, you know, the age of Trump, they were very specific.
They said, we want to do gold and precious metals because they had a feeling that silver, with all these different component pieces driving it, silver is going to take off.
Now, silver is an all-time high today.
Gold is near an all-time high and on fire.
One thing, and looking out for you, because you guys are a lot like me.
You know, I'm on the phones in the digital, but as people know, when you see the war room, I got a big stack of printed papers every day.
I got to read a print paper.
I can't do the scrolling on the thing.
If I'm not reading it in a paper, it's not news to me, right?
It's something else.
So the end of the dollar empire, remember the end of the dollar empire, we go back over populism, we go back over why gold has been a hedge for centuries.
We take it all the way to American politics in the 19th century of why populism was so powerful.
And this fight over currencies was so big.
We also talk about why they came in with the Federal Reserve, why they came in with the income tax, which people don't know.
I just saw something on TikTok that some young guys talking about that, like it was a big reveal that, you know, for most of the country's history, we've never had a federal income tax.
That had to be created along with the Federal Reserve.
So today we're announcing we got the first of the hard copies.
These are totally free.
The hard copies of the end of the dollar empire, and it's in hardback.
I'm very impressed.
We've spent a lot of time working on this, correct?
phillip patrick
We have indeed.
This is a collection of six reports going back to the creation of the Federal Reserve all the way up to the modern era, modern monetary theory, or the lie that was modern monetary theory.
As Steve has said, education for him is key, as it is for us.
We believe at Birch that if we show people why we're in the position we are today, the solutions will present themselves.
This is a very special edition.
It's the Patriot edition.
As Steve said, it's hardback.
It's very limited.
We won't be doing any digital versions.
And it's going to be starting by Steve himself.
So it'll be available for you guys for qualifying purchase.
steve bannon
And I don't want to see it on eBay after the signature.
So we've got about 20 or 25.
How are we going to figure it out?
And by the way, there's hundreds more.
So everybody's going to get one.
How do we get the 20 or 25 that are here?
What do you recommend?
phillip patrick
We have them out back, so whenever you're ready to ask an Andy question, but whenever you're ready to.
steve bannon
Oh, you want to go to Joe Bannon at 989898?
And what do you do?
Do you tell them that we're here?
Okay.
Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, at 989898, and just say, hey, I'm here at Amfest, and I want a Patriots copy of the end of the dollar empire.
We got 20 or 25 here, but we're going to get them for everybody, okay?
So make sure that you guys need it.
unidentified
Yeah.
phillip patrick
Thank you.
steve bannon
You know, it's like when we have economic guests on here, and they come in and they say, well, look, I want to talk about the prime reserve currency and how important that is and explain to the audience.
I go, dude, this audience has already got a master's degree in that, right?
You got to bring more heat than that.
And I think this is now being taught.
I think it's the University of Arkansas.
phillip patrick
Yes.
steve bannon
It's being taught in an intro finance course, right?
So you guys have picked up on it, and I think that's one of the reasons that you understand it's not the price of gold, it's the process that drives value.
Okay, Brian Glenn, real quickly, North Carolina tonight, President Trump.
Rev is going to be doing everything from the main stage, obviously.
I'm going to speak a little later.
Megan Kelly is going to speak.
Jack Pasovic is going to speak.
I think they're also going to do an interview.
Rob Schneider's here.
Many more people.
The main stage is going to be great.
At 9 o'clock, Rav is going to cut to North Carolina.
We're doing it live.
We've got a crew down there.
We're not going to try to miss anything the president does.
Real quickly, what's happening in North Carolina?
Why is he going to North Carolina?
Why is he going to this district?
brian glenn
This is very similar to what he did in the Pocono Valley.
If you remember, last week, went to Pocono Valley to talk about the economy.
Obviously, Pennsylvania was a very important place.
Where he went was a congressional swing district, which means it can go either way.
unidentified
It's not solid.
brian glenn
A lot of districts in Pennsylvania are like that.
Tonight is very similar to that.
It's talking about economic, bringing jobs, manufacturing back to North Carolina, big furniture empire, as we talked a little bit about earlier.
But this is just going to reinforce, and this is what he's going to do, Steve, as we go into these midterms.
He's going to get out on the road by a show of hands real quickly.
Who likes when President Trump goes out on the road and talks about it?
steve bannon
You like it?
brian glenn
I like it.
He's a man of the people.
Who loves McDonald's drive-through Trump?
I love that.
That's what's going to win the midterms.
unidentified
He's got to go out there, talk about the economy, and how he's bettering it for everyone.
steve bannon
Let me just do one thing.
I'm going to do it real quickly.
Just hang on one second.
I just want to.
Oh, I have to jump off here.
Can we get the camera on you right there?
brian glenn
She's great, isn't she?
steve bannon
That is the most badass look I've seen here at Amfest so far.
Got the whole deal.
Got the whole deal.
It's the sunglasses that make it.
brian glenn
Wow.
phillip patrick
Wow.
steve bannon
We're going to get a camera on you in a second.
Fantastic.
phillip patrick
This is great.
unidentified
Man, at 8 o'clock in the morning, it's amazing.
steve bannon
Incredible.
brian glenn
And no coffee or anything.
unidentified
Nothing.
steve bannon
No coffee.
brian glenn
She's jacked up on freedom.
This is what she is right now.
steve bannon
Wow.
That's America right there.
That's what makes MAGA MAGA, right?
You never know what you're going to get.
That's why they can't beat us.
We're resilient.
You're anti-fragile.
Plus, they never know where you're coming from.
brian glenn
Okay.
steve bannon
Let's do it.
I want to tee this up.
There's nobody I've got more respect for than Tucker Carlson.
I think Tucker Carlson is one of the most, don't we?
One of the most significant voices, one of the most significant voices out there, although we don't totally agree on everything, but he is a Tucker is a powerhouse and speaks the truth.
And sometimes we agree.
I mean, 99% of the time we agree.
Sometimes we disagree.
I want to play this clip from last night because, as you know, we're initiating a huge effort, particularly in Texas, right?
Harris County, Harris County, and Harris County and Tarrant County.
And you've got a plano, you've got all kind of problems.
We've got a big special we're going to do there on the 9th of January with Gert Velders.
But let's go ahead and play this clip.
I want to bring in Frank Gaffney.
tucker carlson
Most people agree with that.
Most Americans have more in common with each other than they disagree on.
And almost everybody agrees on that.
And almost everybody is willing to tolerate a good faith argument about how to get there, except a few.
And they're the ones running around calling everyone an anti-Semite.
But everyone else is like, yeah, of course, that should be the debate.
And they'll vote for you.
unidentified
They want that because they know they haven't had that.
tucker carlson
That's the fact.
And what you're watching now, attacking people on the, attacking millions of Americans because they're Muslims, it's disgusting.
And I'm a Christian.
I'm not a Muslim.
I'm never going to.
I know there's a lot of effort to claim I'm a secret jihadi.
steve bannon
I'm not.
tucker carlson
You should not attack people on those grounds.
And you're seeing it from Republicans.
What the hell are you doing?
What you're doing is trying to divide the country.
And I've lived through 50 years of this crap.
All these fake race wars that they're always promoting.
Oh, go hate each other while we loot the treasury.
That's exactly what's going on.
And most people are totally sick of that.
So yes, there is a possibility for a huge coalition of decent people once they free their minds from the traps set for them by others and realize, wait a second, we all want to make this country better.
And the 15% or 30% who don't, okay.
You know, good luck in Maryland or wherever you wind up.
But the rest of us would like to fix it.
steve bannon
Okay.
I kind of understand where Tucker's coming in the direction of it, but let me be brutally frank.
This is not about Islam and it's not about Muslims.
This is about Sharia supremacism.
It's an aspect of Islam that is not compatible with the Christian West.
We are a Christian nation.
And you can see from Dearborn, Michigan to Plano, Texas, it's not going to wash.
All I would tell Tucker is, hey, brother, look at Western Europe.
Look at Brussels.
Look at England.
And look at France.
They're all heading to a civil war because they didn't stop this at the time.
And yes, there are many Muslims in this country that are patriotic and support everything that we do as a constitutional republic.
But there is a significant minority that does not and plots every day.
And I'm sorry.
If I'm a hater, then I'm a hater.
They got to go, right?
unidentified
It just know we can't do it.
steve bannon
I am a Christian nationalist, and this is a Christian country.
Now we're open for everybody to do what they want to do as far as their religion goes, but we're just not going to roll over.
Frank Gaffney, tell me what we got going on with your shop.
I know on the Committee of the Present Danger, you got a big special this afternoon we want everybody to dial into.
If they can't do it because they're here at Amfest, we're going to replay it because 2026, we're talking about Xi, what the Chinese Communist Party is doing, but you got a special message today at 11 o'clock in the Muslim Brotherhood.
What do you got?
frank gaffney
Good to be back, Steve.
Thanks so much for having me.
The problem with what Tucker is saying is he is ignoring the essence of authoritative Islam.
And not all Muslims agree with it, that's for sure.
But I don't think it's a small minority that adhere to what you just correctly described as Sharia supremacism.
What is that?
It is the DNA of a political ideology that is promoted in the furtherance of what the perfect man, Muhammad, taught, which is jihad.
And people who would trivialize that as a problem are, I'm afraid, about to get a dose of it.
As the jihadis in this country, to say nothing of what you're talking about in Europe, to say nothing of the Middle East and elsewhere, are poised, it appears, to engage not just in the stealthy, subversive kind of jihad that the Muslim Brotherhood is specialized in, particularly in countries where they can't use violence successfully.
But they're now ready to go, it appears, into a more violent phase.
And Steve, the key word that has been coined, of course, is you know words in the new national security strategy.
You've given it a lot of attention and properly so.
In connection with Europe, the Trump administration warns that it faces, quote, civilization erasure, unquote.
So do we.
And the reason that I'm so just impassioned about what is imminent.
President Trump is poised to make what I think could well prove to be the most important national security decision of the second presidency.
And that is in connection with a report that he's tasked the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besson, to give him by Christmas Eve as to what to do about this phenomenon, the Muslim Brotherhood.
And it talks about looking at sort of chapters and subdivisions.
We need to talk about the mother movement, as the Muslims call it as well, because it is the driving force, Steve.
As you know, it is the impetus behind, certainly the influence of, and the enabler in many cases of the jihad that is taking place.
I don't care whether it's doing it under the brand of al-Qaeda or ISIS or Tbiliti Jamaat or any number of others.
unidentified
Hang on one second.
steve bannon
Hang on one second.
We're going to hold you through break.
unidentified
Frank Gaffney, are we a Christian nation?
steve bannon
Yes.
We're open to your religious beliefs.
We're a Christian nation.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
victor willis
Yo!
steve bannon
Look at this.
Thank you so much for joining us, Early.
It wouldn't be Amfest unless we're going to go in the crowd.
Ben Berkwan, what do we got?
ben bergquam
Hey, there, Ant over here, Steve.
And by the way, I got to say, this crowd over here, many of them were with me at the trial in New York City against President Trump, the sham trial, every single day.
Every day they came to the Chinese Communist Party.
Every day.
unidentified
The fraud against President Trump.
steve bannon
By the way, President Trump, Eric Trump told me the president appreciated that because he'd see our clips later.
Because as you know, that wasn't a huge crowd going down there.
You fought it every day because you were being abused.
unidentified
Let's get up to the folks that went every day.
Yes, we were there each, every day.
When Trump came, we were there.
When Trump left after he was tortured seven hours on the Shem trial, we were there sending him off.
We say, we love you.
We love you.
We thank you.
ben bergquam
And this is the first time I saw them yesterday since the trial.
And now President Trump's our president again.
God bless America.
unidentified
We fought like our life depends on it.
We went to Pennsylvania door knocking.
We went to DC to visit the January 6th every month.
We fought.
We love this country more than Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi combined.
steve bannon
You're indefatigable.
You can't be beaten.
Now, I do have to say, the sunglasses, the outfit's amazing.
ben bergquam
Hey, you got to watch out for the CCP.
steve bannon
No, no, absolutely.
The lights are bright out here.
brian glenn
The lights are bright.
steve bannon
It's a little bit like Kuhan Luke, right?
What we have here is a failure.
Fantastic.
You guys are the best.
That's what it takes.
They can't.
Okay, let me go back and make sure you understand this.
We won in 16 against all odds, right?
Remember your friends, your neighbors are mocking you, including there's so many people in the Trump movement of the day, so many people in the administration that didn't vote for Trump in 16.
You were the original.
unidentified
I voted against him in 16.
Okay, maybe we don't go there today.
steve bannon
Of course, 14 and 15, they were tough years when you supported Trump.
Every day when I was running Breitbart, I got nothing but grief in 15.
Oh my God, this populist nationalist, Trump's a Democrat.
Trump's a dictator.
Trump's, you know, he's kidding.
He's not going to do it.
Remember that?
Remember all that hatred?
We won in 16.
He won the primary, and we won in 16, correct?
We did lose.
We got smoked at traditional 35 or 40 seats in 18.
ben bergquam
And what happened?
steve bannon
Exactly what we told you was going to happen.
He got impeached, correct?
Ever since then, we've run the tables.
2020, the president's going to come out with a truckload of information.
We won the election in 2020, correct?
unidentified
Within a day.
steve bannon
Is anybody here, sir?
Anybody here legitimately think he didn't win?
Of course not.
Not just that, we picked up, and when they stole it from him, we still picked up 14 seats in the House, right?
Come on, man.
A net 12, 14 seats.
And then in 22, in 22, against all of us, because you remember when they exiled him and it was exile down in Mar-Lago, correct?
They all turned his back on him.
You know who didn't turn his back on him?
Charlie Kirk and Turning Point, right?
Right?
And look at 22.
Did we get the 30 or 35 seats?
We did not, but I think we picked up, what, 10 to 15 enough to take control of the House.
And then later, because of your support and the great Matt Gates, enough to turf out Kevin McCarthy because he wasn't getting it done.
And one of our saviors and supporter President Trump, Mike Johnson, took.
unidentified
Ooh, Loblo.
steve bannon
Come on.
It's a process, okay?
It's a process.
brian glenn
Trust the plan.
steve bannon
In this case, maybe not.
And then at 24, the greatest, I mean, Charlie Kirk and what the team.
And remember, here's the great thing about Charlie Kirk and Turning Point.
They're a learning organization.
What do I mean by that?
Remember the Kerry Lake situation at 22 here in Arizona?
Charlie and his team learned.
unidentified
Tyler Boyer, Charlie Kirk, they were always learning.
steve bannon
It said, hey, we didn't get it done then.
We got it done in some of these house races.
We didn't get it done statewide in Arizona.
We got to recalibrate.
Look at that recalibration.
Look at Pennsylvania and look at Arizona run entirely by Turning Point, right?
With a couple of allies.
Unbelievable.
Charlie Kirk and the Turning Point team basically delivered the presidency for President Trump.
My point is, we've never really lost.
We lost one time in 18, and everybody took their eye off the ball.
People are leaning on their race.
Well, President Trump's in the White House.
I got Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan.
What do I need to worry about?
Remember Paul Ryan quit a year before?
He quit in January and wouldn't leave?
He totally gun-decked it.
They wanted Trump to get impeached.
Kind of what you're seeing today, right?
My point.
My point is you guys are resilient.
You're anti-fragile.
You're tough.
There's never been a political movement like this.
And we cannot be beaten.
If we get together, you can't be beaten.
You cannot be beaten.
The only people that can beat us are ourselves, right?
I agree.
And I'm not saying we've got to have a group hog, far from it.
There's some big, big issues that we've got to deal with.
The one central issue, and there's a lot of fighting on our side of the football on the more conservative side, the biggest issue is the Republican establishment.
It's so obvious what they're doing.
Look in Indiana.
We need those redictions.
These are just fair redistricting.
Look at what Newsom did in California.
48 to 4 on a state, what, 40 million people?
And votes a cent or 45% for Republicans.
In New England, it's 25 to nothing.
In Illinois, just look time after time after time.
They play smashmouth.
In the Commonwealth of Virginia, Spanberger is going to go 10 to 1 in the Commonwealth, which has traditionally been 6-5.
Why?
She wants to be Newsom's vice president.
They play Smashmouth.
The Republican is funding Trump every step of the way, including in Texas, where we should have gotten eight seats.
That's why you need these seats.
The redistricting battle is the predicate for big battle November.
And look in the Senate.
President Trump's sitting there going, Schumer and these guys are going to flip the filibuster day one and the blue slips.
We have, I think it's 94 U.S. attorneys.
We have 18 right now.
President Trump, Pam Bondi, they can't get the manpower in there because it's blue slip on the filibuster.
Yesterday, Mike Lee sent me this clip.
We had another thing they were trying to pass.
Didn't even come close because they're still looking for 60 votes.
Unless you change your filibustering, look, the filibuster kind of did its purpose.
But you see what they're going to do in Guardian magazine newspaper today, they're calling for the complete eradication of the Supreme Court.
And they're going to try to do it.
They're going to pack this court.
So this is a different time.
And mark my words.
When the economy starts to bounce, when the economy bounces, when the economy bounces, we're supposed to drum the break right now.
Yeah, I think I got it right there.
Okay.
I've already blown up this mic.
