Thursday in the WarRoom, there was an exciting announcement and discussion between Kash Patel and filmmaker Matt Taylor as they unveiled the RNC premiere of their new documentary, “Government Gangsters,” which focuses on exposing what they describe as the deep state’s covert operations within the U.S. government.
The documentary, dedicated to Steve Bannon, is set to premiere at the Republican National Committee (RNC) next week and will be available for pre-order at WarRoom.filmgovernment-gangsters-teaser-trailer/. (Details of timing at RNC)
“We finished the film right before Steve went to prison, and we’re going to be premiering it at the RNC next week for the first time, and it’ll be available at WarRoom.film for pre-order right now but dropping in a week,” Taylor told Patel.
Patel, who wrote the book Government Gangsters, hailed the WarRoom host and founder Steve Bannon as pivotal in promoting the book and on the film project. Bannon’s endorsement turned the book into a bestseller, Patel said, and he acknowledged the irony that Bannon, whom he called “a federal political prisoner,” couldn’t attend the premiere.
Patel expressed pride in completing the film before Bannon’s imprisonment and emphasized the documentary’s importance in unveiling the deep state’s corrupt practices.
The documentary is introduced with a trailer highlighting various incidents of alleged deep state actions, from the RussiaGate investigation to Hunter Biden’s laptop controversy and beyond. Patel frames these events as part of a two-tiered system of justice manipulated by entrenched bureaucrats. He describes the deep state as “dangerous and vindictive,” continuously learning from past mistakes to hide their corruption more effectively.
Taylor, the film’s director, shared insights into the making of “Government Gangsters.” Taylor has a background in political documentaries, having worked on “Clinton Cash” in 2016 and a film about Hunter Biden’s Chinese deals in 2020. Taylor praised Patel’s book for its comprehensive coverage of these issues, calling it “the penultimate narrative” that brings together various stories of governmental misconduct. He explained that the film aims to help people understand the dangers of the deep state and hold the government accountable.
Taylor discussed the challenges of condensing vast amounts of material into a coherent documentary. He focused on the intelligence community’s consistent targeting of Donald Trump, describing it as a throughline in the narrative. According to Taylor, the documentary covers events from the Clinton email scandal to the current documents case involving Trump, illustrating a “continuum of attacks” against the former president. Taylor emphasized that the film is not just about Trump; it highlights how the intelligence community’s actions can target anyone, irrespective of political affiliation.
One of the critical aspects Taylor pointed out was the RussiaGate scandal, which he termed “the best example of a false flag operation.” The film aims to debunk the Steele dossier and expose the media’s and intelligence agencies’ roles in perpetuating what he considers a baseless narrative. Taylor noted that while many hearings and investigations occurred, the full extent of the misconduct only came to light with John Durham’s report, which received minimal media coverage.
The production of “Government Gangsters” was remarkably swift, with filming beginning in March and the final touches being added as recently as the morning of the discussion. Taylor highlighted the documentary’s high quality, including cinematic scenes filmed in Washington, D.C., and Austin, Texas. He expressed confidence that the film’s thorough research and compelling content would resonate with audiences, regardless of their political views.
In conclusion, Patel and Taylor’s discussion underscores the documentary’s ambitious goal of exposing deep state corruption and holding the government accountable. Patel’s dedication of the film to Steve Bannon and Taylor’s detailed explanation of the production process highlight the significant effort and collaboration behind “Government Gangsters.” The documentary promises to be pivotal in the ongoing governmental transparency and accountability discourse.
