“They’re Sad Because They’re Worried”: Steve Bannon On The Mainstream’s Response To MAGA’s Ascension
Steve Bannon, reacting to clips from corporate media, expressed confidence that Donald Trump’s movement will prevail despite opposition efforts. He criticized media figures like Rachel Maddow, Nicole Wallace, and Joy Behar, suggesting they are panicking because they know their alleged crimes against the Republic will be exposed and prosecuted. Bannon encouraged his supporters to reflect on their purpose and task, emphasizing that if their goal is to save the country, they will succeed. He noted the extensive material his team had to work with, implying the depth of the opposition’s fear and guilt. Bannon framed his commentary as part of a larger narrative starting from the Obama administration, describing it as a ten-chapter book detailing this ongoing political struggle.
Boyle: Biden’s 2022 Plan To Use Constitution To Block Trump Has Led To Lawfare Linked To White House
Matt Boyle and Steve Bannon discussed the reactions of the left-leaning media and political figures to the ongoing legal proceedings against former President Donald Trump. They noted that these individuals, previously smug and confident, seemed to be experiencing anxiety and fear as the situation unfolded. The conversation touched on the timing of events, suggesting that the legal actions against Trump were orchestrated in response to his announcement of a 2024 presidential run and the Republican win in the House of Representatives during the midterm elections. Bannon emphasized the significance of the dates surrounding these events, particularly the press conference where President Joe Biden expressed intentions to prevent Trump from becoming president again through constitutional means. The discussion highlighted the appointment of Jack Smith as special counsel and the involvement of other legal figures, which they view as part of a coordinated effort to thwart Trump’s political ambitions.
The Department of Justice Is Targeting The Gateway Pundit in Their Hopes to Ruin Gateway Pundit
Jim Hoft, founder of the conservative Gateway Pundit, discussed with Steve Bannon the legal challenges his publication is facing, particularly a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in Florida. Hoft alleges that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is pressuring the bankruptcy proceedings to prevent his site from defending itself. One notable lawsuit involves Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, two Georgia election workers who claim that Gateway Pundit falsely accused them of election fraud. Hoft argues that the DOJ is interfering. He also mentioned that during a bankruptcy hearing, he was unexpectedly grilled for hours by a trustee, suggesting that the DOJ might be influencing the process.
In addition to the legal challenges, Hoft and Bannon criticized mainstream media outlets like MSNBC for allegedly colluding with government officials and misleading the public about the 2020 election. They contrasted this with their own efforts, which they claim are merely reporting and commentary without the influence or power of government officials.
Scott Bessent Drops Massive Bombshell On Biden’s Economic Failures, Provides Path Out Of Disaster
Scott Bessent and Steve Bannon provide a critical analysis of the U.S. economy, highlighting the current fiscal situation’s severity and the official projections’ inadequacies. Taking an analytical approach, Bessent stresses that the deficit and debt situation is far worse than the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported. He highlights the alarming trend of rising deficits, projecting an unsustainable $2 trillion deficit and a debt-to-GDP ratio. Bessent criticizes the Biden administration’s fiscal policies, comparing them to short-term fixes that ultimately harm the economy, like “throwing dollar bills out of a bus window.”
Bannon adds a political dimension, blaming the administration for excessive spending and failed economic strategies. He notes that the current debt service is $1.1 trillion, exceeding the defense budget, and warns that without intervention, it could rise to $1.5 trillion by 2025. Bannon criticizes Janet Yellen’s financing strategy, comparing it to using a national credit card to pay down a mortgage, which he argues is unsustainable and exacerbates the debt issue.
Both Bessent and Bannon underscore that the current economic policies are not only financially irresponsible but also pose a national security threat. There is talk of a Cicero quote on the necessity of financial stability for maintaining power. They conclude that the fiscal outlook is grim and requires significant changes to avoid further economic deterioration.

Raheem Kassam: “Nigel Will Certainly Get Elected” | Raheem Kassam And Ben Bergquam Live From England
In a lively discussion from London, Ben Bergquam, Raheem Kassam, and Steve Bannon provide insights into the political climate in the UK amid a new general election. Raheem Kassam emphasizes Nigel Farage’s rising popularity and the challenges his Reform Party faces due to the UK’s political system, which is designed to keep smaller parties out of Parliament. Despite these challenges, Farage is polling well and is expected to secure a seat. Kassam notes a shift in public sentiment, with the Conservative Party losing ground due to dissatisfaction with its handling of Brexit and other issues. He explains that this election is more a repudiation of the Conservative Party than an endorsement of Labour.
Ben Bergquam shares his observations from his travels through Europe, noting the absence of some cultural issues prevalent in the US and the impact of immigration from Northern Africa and the Middle East on local communities. He highlights the contrast between the broader European shift to the right and the UK’s current political dynamics, where Nigel Farage is driving a new “MAGA-like” movement.
Bannon questions why the populist nationalist movement did not take off immediately after Brexit. Kassam responds that the Conservative Party’s failure to deliver on Brexit promises and its overall arrogance have led to current discontent. He believes that Nigel Farage’s strategy is to leverage this discontent to build support for future elections, predicting a major shift in the political landscape.
Overall, the discussion paints a picture of a UK in political flux, with Nigel Farage and his Reform Party poised to capitalize on growing dissatisfaction with the Conservative Party.
Paul Dans Of Project 2025 Discusses Equipping The Next Trump Administration
Bannon and Dans talked about Project 2025, a conservative plan to deconstruct the administrative state and bring about fundamental changes in governance. They argue that the current permanent bureaucracy in Washington undermines democratic governance and needs to be dismantled to restore constitutional order. The discussion emphasizes the importance of having a detailed, prepared strategy to implement conservative policies effectively, reflecting on past challenges during the Trump administration’s transition.
Dans mentions that the project has garnered significant attention and criticism, particularly from those benefiting from the existing system. They conclude by encouraging involvement in Project 2025 to combat the influence of entrenched bureaucratic and financial interests, portraying it as a grassroots effort against a powerful, established elite.
