12 Nov 2025

Transcription

Chapter 1: What issues are raised regarding the legal system and judges?

0.031 - 21.938 Unknown

Routine getting stays and getting reversals because of local judges just not following the law full stop. And it's the same judges or not the same judges, but there's a group of judges that are repeat players. And that's obviously not by happenstance. That's intentional. And it's a war, man.

22.475 - 28.424 Steve Bannon

This idea of war on judges, I'll say two things. Number one, the most important judge is the Supreme Court.

0

28.444 - 29.927 Unknown

They do not have a lot of problems with.

0

30.107 - 37.138 Steve Bannon

So the buck stops at the Supreme Court. They have not really been ruled against pretty much at all and overturned past president.

0

Chapter 2: How does the Supreme Court play a role in the current judicial landscape?

37.158 - 44.77 Steve Bannon

But when you hear things like this, I mean, this is out of the Erdogan turkey playbook, the war on the judicial branch. We need to go after them. We need to beat them.

0

44.75 - 63.295 Unknown

This is scary stuff. It's really chilling. This is one of the most dangerous and damaging things that's happening right now in our country is the disrespect for judges and the public calls for others to disrespect and disregard judges. We have a constitution that has three equal branches that all have a job to do.

0

63.435 - 72.647 Unknown

And the job of the courts under our constitution is to reign in the executive branch. This administration does not accept that as a legitimate constitutional form.

0

72.627 - 100.558 Unknown

function of courts they seem to believe that it is the job of judges to get on board with and rubber stamp the political agenda of the president that is absolutely not the case and that is very dangerous to our democracy it is also very dangerous to the judges who are out there trying their best every single day to do the job that the constitution requires of them those are people who have seen an incredible increase in real threats to their safety we have seen people

100.538 - 123.643 Unknown

Plot against judges, try to attack judges because they disagree with their rulings. And people like Todd Blanch are egging that on. He is the number two official at the Justice Department. And it is absolutely irresponsible and really, frankly, reprehensible that he is taking that position about federal judges in our country who have an important constitutional role to play.

123.623 - 138.308 Unknown

And for future negotiations, if he knows once he inflicts maximum pain that Democrats are going to say this is too much pain for my constituents, it's not in the best interest of the United States and we fold.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of H-1B visa policies on the economy?

138.912 - 163.041 Unknown

Well, look, I think any political leader who goes about inflicting pain on the people they represent will ultimately be punished at the ballot box by those people. And we saw that in Virginia. And you know, I've spent the last year screaming about the fact that our governor, Glenn Youngkin, refused to stand up for Virginians as Donald Trump was attacking us.

0

163.662 - 180.176 Unknown

And I told him, I said, the voters are going to punish this. And the voters in Virginia punished it last Tuesday. So I think the answer to your question is we've got to continue to tell the story. the pain Donald Trump's inflicting on people, the fact that he's more focused on the price of Greenland than the price of groceries.

0

180.216 - 203.046 Unknown

He's building golden bathrooms while kids are going to bed hungry because he's taken away their food benefits and SNAP. And we got to take that to the voters if he continues in this way. three co-equal branches of government. Now, the Republicans have said, we don't want that. And they've given up their equality, their power. They let Trump do everything. The judges are not doing that.

0

203.326 - 223.662 Unknown

And it's basically page one of any authoritarian playbook. Well, first it used to be take over the radio stations. But the other is get rid of the judges. Anything that would check power. There's nothing in Congress checking his power. He can take the power to put on tariffs and they don't care. He can hold back funding and they don't care.

0

223.702 - 233.44 Unknown

But the judges, you know, some of them are fighting back a bit. And that's where they're saying no. And they don't have a legal case against this, but you're right.

Chapter 4: How does the discussion highlight the impact of immigration on American jobs?

233.561 - 253.105 Unknown

What Todd Blanch is doing there is creating this culture in which people may take actions against judges, not respect them, and will allow Trump at some point to just say, I don't care what the court says. What is the administration's position on these visas? We're going to keep using our visa programs.

0

253.145 - 264.785 Unknown

We're just going to make sure that they have integrity, that we're actually doing the vetting of the individuals who come into this country, that they want to be here for the right reasons, that they're not supporters of terrorists and organizations that hate America.

0

265.245 - 278.871 Unknown

And that's what I think is so remarkable is under the Trump administration, we've sped up our process and added integrity to the visa programs, to green cards, to all of that, but also we're More people are becoming naturalized under this administration than ever before.

0

279.292 - 299.974 Unknown

More people are becoming citizens because we're not just streamlining and building some processes back into our immigration policies. We're also making sure that these individuals that are coming into our country and get that privilege that they actually are here for the right reasons. The Biden administration let thousands of terrorists into this country. They opened the southern border.

0

300.014 - 320.242 Unknown

They abused our asylum programs, abused our protective programs and visa programs. And we fixed all of it. It's remarkable what President Trump has done. And it's because he's a great leader. He's a visionary. And this man is going to go down as a legend in history as our greatest president ever. THERE'S 20, 30 YEARS WE HAVE OFFSHORE PRECISION MANUFACTURING JOBS.

320.603 - 346.921 Unknown

AND THE PRESIDENT'S POINT HERE IS, AGAIN, WE CAN'T SNAP OUR FINGERS AND SAY YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN HOW TO BUILD SHIPS OVERNIGHT. WE WANT TO BRING SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY BACK TO THE U.S. THERE ARE GOING TO BE BIG FACILITIES IN ARIZONA. SO I THINK THE PRESIDENT'S VISION HERE IS TO BRING IN OVERSEAS WORKERS WHERE THESE JOBS WENT. WHO HAVE SKILLS. seven years to train the U.S.

346.981 - 349.705 Unknown

workers, then they can go home, the U.S.

Chapter 5: What criticisms are made about the current administration's handling of immigration?

349.725 - 364.967 Unknown

workers fully take over. Do you understand the concern that people have? Hey, an American can have that job. Why give it to a guy from India or China? But an American can have that job. So it's specific skills. Because we haven't built ships in the U.S. for years. We haven't built semiconductors.

0

365.428 - 373.9 Unknown

So this idea of overseas partners coming in, teaching American workers, then returning home, that's a home run.

0

376.597 - 398.22 Steve Bannon

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.

0

398.24 - 408.257 Unknown

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.

0

408.237 - 418.561 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.

418.581 - 422.23 Stephen K. Bannon

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

427.188 - 439.913 Steve Bannon

Wednesday, 12 November, in the year of early 2025, we're going to try to take the first hour and kind of unpack exactly where, because a lot of the boom, you know, he's giving interviews, talking about H-1B visas.

Chapter 6: How does the podcast connect economic policies to national security?

439.994 - 466.197 Steve Bannon

Then you've got Scott saying something to the Secretary of Treasury. You've got Kristi Noem saying something else. You've got... His restructuring of the commercial relationships of the world, as we refer to as his trade policies, right, to manifest itself if they don't move the jobs back and tariffs are in court. So I want to take and I want to be – I would like to be systematic.

0

466.398 - 493.999 Steve Bannon

So the guest today to do this is Stephen K. Bannon. So we're going to do it. And I want to talk about – The influences on the president, tonight he's got dinner with the lords of easy money, Jamie Dimon, Larry Fink, real Trump supporters and MAGA supporters. As you know, I say that with tongue-in-cheek because they hate Trump and they hate MAGA. And Jamie Dimon has got this fantasy.

0

494.039 - 511.617 Steve Bannon

He's going to run as a populist. candidate for president, Jamie spent, it was not this past summer, I think it was the summer before he talked about, he took I guess a Winnebago or one of these land cruisers, one of these big mobile homes, and he went from, I think he's at Spokane, Washington,

0

511.765 - 533.116 Steve Bannon

all the way, I think it was to Idaho, or might have been to Kalispell, Montana, or somebody went up in the American Redoubt, or as we call it, the Christian Redoubt, the capital of Christian nationalism in this country. And Jamie Dimon goes, you know, the people were so nice. My wife and I really said that this is really kind of the backbone of America. Jamie Dimon, this is how clueless they are.

533.796 - 553.044 Steve Bannon

Guy runs the biggest bank ever. one of the most powerful banks in the world, chairman, CEO, been on Wall Street for, I don't know, 40 years, Sandy Wiles, henchman, and just doesn't really understand, have the first clue about a place called the United States of America and American citizens. But I want to go back to start this.

553.425 - 576.137 Steve Bannon

This is why we started the cold open with Todd Blanch giving that talk at the Federalist Society. And because it is the quiet part out loud that, of course, the crew at MSNBC said about, you know, they're going after these judges because they don't agree with the political agenda. President Trump, yo, baby, that's the whole point.

576.759 - 586.322 Steve Bannon

This is why the Roberts Court has overturned so many of these radical left-wing judges that you judge shop, okay? This is why the Supreme Court

Chapter 7: What is the significance of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. economy?

586.538 - 602.457 Steve Bannon

Because what the Roberts Court has said, essentially in ruling after ruling after ruling, it's not their job to make political decisions. It's not their job to get involved. That was a Warren Court. And that's what's been the problem with the court for decade after decade after decade.

0

602.497 - 623.489 Steve Bannon

In the Roberts Court, I think because you have some very strong conservatives, or as we call it, the Clarence Thomas Court, Right. Judge Thomas Court is saying we got to get we're not interventionists. We're not we're not judicial activists. The political decisions should be made by. Wait for it.

0

623.85 - 647.73 Steve Bannon

The political branches of the government, that would be Capitol Hill, the Congress and the executive branch. So I want to start there because it's going to roll through the entire analysis of exactly where we are on a major pivot of the economic policies of the United States. Can I play the first cut, the Todd Blanchard? I'll just keep my mic on and I'll cut it off when I'm happy.

0

648.487 - 651.272 Steve Bannon

Are these guys ready? Can they do it? Let's go and play it.

0

651.292 - 673.448 Unknown

We are routine getting stays and getting reversals because of local judges just not following the law full stop. And and it's the same judges are not the same judges, but there's a group of judges that are repeat players. And that's obviously not by happenstance. That's intentional. And it's a it's a war, man.

674.002 - 681.452 Steve Bannon

I mean, Liz, this idea of war on judges, I'll say two things. Number one, the most important judge is the Supreme Court. They do not have a lot of problems with.

Chapter 8: How do tech and economic policies intersect in today's political climate?

681.632 - 692.647 Steve Bannon

So the buck stops at the Supreme Court. They have not really been ruled against pretty much at all and overturned past president. But when you hear things like this, I mean, this is out of the Erdogan turkey playbook.

0

692.827 - 694.389 Unknown

Can we stop right there?

0

695.05 - 717.262 Steve Bannon

Denver, can you stop? Okay. Right there. He says the Supreme Court's reversed all these guys. It is a war. This is called lawfare, and this is a war, and this is the principle. They don't have the political support, so this is the principle attack that they've used to date is the courts. And they go, oh, but this is out of Erdogan, where you call it out.

0

717.462 - 742.129 Steve Bannon

No, out of Erdogan, and you guys have had the high ground for decade after decade after decade after you removed, starting with the Warren court somewhat, but after you removed Richard Nixon. And always remember Jeff Shepard, the Watergate stuff you see in all the president's men, that's Hollywood. Deep throat. That's all Hollywood. That's what the liberals put forward.

0

742.149 - 766.631 Steve Bannon

You know, these brave reporters in The Washington Post and Catherine Graham. Right. All of it. That's all kind of that's deep throat. It was a judicial and legal insurrection against Nixon. As Jeff Shepard points out, it was lawfare that removed Nixon, and the Republicans didn't have the stones to back him up.

766.932 - 786.778 Steve Bannon

They folded, and Nixon went, and then they hermetically sealed off the Justice Department since then. This is one of the reasons they hate Trump and they hate what Trump's doing. Remember, go back to the Article II powers, the maximalist strategy. Part of that is something that no Republican has touched. No Republican has touched since Nixon.

787.96 - 813.836 Steve Bannon

And that is the president is the chief law enforcement officer in the country. In fact, Nixon didn't. If you study the internal workings of the White House, they were petrified of it. Trump ain't petrified about it. And this was the years in the wilderness to build the case intellectually to go for it. And it is a war. And they've been reversed. I don't have time.

813.856 - 835.91 Steve Bannon

We're going to continue with the tape because then the other panelists or the other co-host on the evening show at MSMUC says the quiet part of that, you know, they're all over these judges because they don't agree with the political agenda of Donald Trump. We don't give a damn what a judge thinks about the political agenda of the executive branch or Capitol Hill. That's not their purpose.

835.93 - 853.668 Steve Bannon

That's not their job. Check this thing called the Constitution. The high and mighty. Legal profession. This is how they get you on your back foot. This is why the audience, you've been knocking on doors and giving money to Bush and all of them, and they went along with this. They went along with this. We ain't going along with this.
