What are the main themes of the Populist College Guide?

Steve Bannon 0:02

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've tried 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 lie? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

Unknown 0:34

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

Stephen K. Bannon 0:44

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.

Steve Bannon 0:52

It's Wednesday, 27 August, Year of Our Lord 2025. I think you noticed that there's so much going on in August. No one took vacation. I only think the Morning Joe crowd did. Everybody was at it the entire time because President Trump's driving the action here. I'll get into the Weigel story in a little while. Weigel's put up a poll. It's like 1,200 people, so it's not a tiny poll. 53% wanted to run for a third term. I want to go, Caroline, I want to get you back in. First off, seizing the institutions. So when we talk about this coalition, and we do have a coalition, and I agree with you, the major fights between the populist right, the populist nationalist right, and still the globalist tech bros to come.

But even... The more traditional Republican Party part, the neoliberal neocons, which is the Tom Cottons and Lindsey Grahams. You've got the Ted Cruz and the Ron DeSantis, the old traditional limited government folks, which is still a big contingent. You've got the religious right, the evangelicals. Those three groups alone, before you lose the tech right, some of the things President Trump, he's doing, yes, he is listening to a lot of different people, but he's driving in a direction that's not traditional Republican. Republicanism. And he's seizing the institutions. This thing with the Federal Reserve, you know, we've had David Malpass on a lot over the last month. David now here is on the short list for this new governorship that's going to come open.

Steve Bannon 2:19

And Scott Besson, as you know, is a safe pair of hands. He's not a guy that runs around free. The reason he's secretary of treasury is just his calm demeanor and the fact that he just doesn't go out. you know, and jump on things. Scott said this morning, hey, she's got to be prosecuted. She has not denied the mortgage fraud. And he said, how do you have somebody who's a governor of the Federal Reserve, right, that has had mortgage fraud, pretty blatant mortgage fraud? So talk to me about the seizing of the institutions, whether it's doing this thing – and you've got these liberals. I think you had Glasner on arguing there's no crime in D.C., that this is overreach. Talk about the seizure of the institutions, whether it's the courts, whether it's the Justice Department, the FBI, whether it's the –

How does Trump's leadership impact the Republican Party's direction?

Steve Bannon 3:03

You know, the Federal Reserve. And remember, we're in the strategy of the maximalists. We want to put the pedal to the metal because we say we're burning daylight. You've got to get these things done. Whether it's redistricting, you know, take the 30 seats and take them now. Texas still owes us another five of the five they got. One, how do you think President Trump's doing in that regard given the three-hour basically board of directors meeting you saw yesterday? And coupled with how do you hold that traditional part of the – that you came from quite frankly of the Republican Party? Yeah.

Unknown 3:39

Well, I think he's doing fantastic. I did love the premise of this Axios article that you referenced in the beginning, which was, quote, Trump has exerted decisive control over every inch of the executive branch. Well, yeah, he is the head of the executive branch. So I think it's a good thing that he has taken decisive control. But what is funny is that these journalists are just so blown away by Trump. It's because they're used to these, frankly, cocked politicians that bow to every institution that they were actually elected to govern over, that the Constitution directs them to govern over, but somehow they actually bended the knee to these institutions.
