What is the primal scream of a dying regime?

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 try 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.

How does the media contribute to the perception of political truth?

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

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

Steve Bannon 0:50

It's Saturday, 27 December in the year of our Lord 2025. Okay. Today, as you know, the Saturday show is my favorite show of the week. And this is our last Saturday show for this year. I want to do something a little special. So I invited one of my favorite people, the great historian, Larry Swiker, to join us. And we're going to spend the next couple hours going through not just American history, but also how it applies to today. I want to start off, though, because I haven't had the opportunity to do this yet. is to – I want to play the speech I gave at AmFest, which some people think was a little controversial. I don't happen to think it's that controversial, but I want to break it down for you.

Steve Bannon 1:32

I'm going to ask Larry to do this with me. So let's go ahead, and I'm going to go – we're going to go right back to last Friday at AmFest. I don't know. It was about – Eight o'clock in the evening East Coast time. I think five or six o'clock there when I gave a 15 or 16 minute speech. We're going to play its entirety. Then I'm going to break it down when we come back. Let's go ahead and play it.

Thank you. Thank you. We are at war.

Steve Bannon 2:06

You know how we know this? You just heard Hawkins up here a few minutes ago, right? What did she say at the very moment Charlie Kirk was assassinated? What, the University of Montana? They laughed in her face, right? Laughed in her face, and some guy goes, oh, we're at war. Charlie Kirk knew we were at war. Every time I've spoken... At any event of Turning Point, I always start with that, because Charlie Kirk knew one thing. He knew we were at war, and he knew we were going to be victorious if we didn't quit. So what do I mean by that? Let's go back. Do you understand, for the last 10 years, there have been eight national elections, either primaries, Off your elections where Congress's is voted on for the whole nation or presidential elections We have won seven of those eight This is why they hate it

Steve Bannon 3:17

This is why they hated Charlie Kirk. It wasn't Charlie Kirk's philosophy or even his debates. Charlie Kirk was a tough, tough person that built a machine that you guys are dedicated to that delivered victories. Let's be specific. Go back to 2015. President Trump, 15-16, wins the primary against all odds. Then in 16, he wins a come-from-behind, you know, once-in-a-lifetime victory against Hillary Clinton. We lost the 18 midterms because people were leaning on their rakes, leaning on their rakes, and we lost, I don't know, 35 or 40 House seats, and Nancy Pelosi told us exactly what she was going to do. She impeached Trump. and almost brought it all down. President Trump came back, won the primary, right, very easily.

Steve Bannon 4:09

Nobody really ran against him. I don't think anybody ran against him. 2020, we won the 2020 election. Is there any dispute on that? If you don't believe that, you don't believe a foundational element of the MAGA movement. We won 2020, and to show you how we won it, we picked up 14 House seats that night. 14 House seats. Then President Trump went into the wilderness.

What makes American history relevant to today's political climate?

Steve Bannon 4:39

This is when Charlie Kirk really, I think, stepped up the most. President Trump was sent to Mar-a-Lago. They never thought he was coming back. The Republican Party never thought he was coming back. And what happened? President Trump grinded it out. In fact, he told us on this stage last year, right here, the first time he told anybody when Charlie had him come out here and speak, what'd he say?
