Bannon`s War Room

Episode 5087: The Invisible Coup

22 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What does the phrase 'the primal scream of a dying regime' mean?

2.393 - 24.023 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.

24.043 - 34.003 Unknown

And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

0

Chapter 2: How does the MAGA Media influence public perception?

34.102 - 48.01 Unknown

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

52.867 - 74.143 Steve Bannon

It's Thursday, 22 January, in the year of our Lord, 2026. So we're going to be streaming the Jack Smith of it all on our streaming side. I don't want to miss that. We'll be dipping back into that as necessary. As you know, Ben Berkwan has been our guy at the border for five years, of which this show led everybody else in coverage.

0

74.163 - 96.846 Steve Bannon

We're the first people to send people to Darien Gap, send them down there. to latin america talk about what was driving this because it was organized we kept saying this is not anarchy or chaos at the border that's the mainstream media uh every day um that this was highly organized it had to be highly organized to get i don't know the official number is 12 13 million

0

97.079 - 118.819 Steve Bannon

The unofficial number, President Trump keeps quoting 2025. This is just on Biden's watch. This was highly organized. This is why very serendipitous that go to Tom Holman's being honored, Tom Holman's being honored by Catholics for Catholics, the conservative traditional Catholic organization headed up by John Yepp. Because, yep, saying they're taking responsibility.

0

118.859 - 121.863 Steve Bannon

Catholic charities was in the middle of this. Lutheran charities was in the middle of this.

Chapter 3: What role do charities play in immigration issues?

121.883 - 134.457 Steve Bannon

You had a couple of these Jewish charities. They were a central part. These NGOs are a central part of it, an absolute central part. It was highly organized. And this is my point about mass deportations. We can't blink. We can't look the other way.

0

134.837 - 154.007 Steve Bannon

So somebody's going to have to drive this, and if it's got to be the war room, look, we drove the exposure of all this, and we'll drive the response and the solution. Because they all got to go. Now, the last couple of days, Chris Cuomo and Scott Jennings, they jumped Scott Jennings the other night. If I have time, I'll play it tonight.

0

154.067 - 175.348 Steve Bannon

If not tomorrow, they jumped Scott Jennings the other night for using the phrase illegal aliens. He got jumped on CNN and then he got Chris Cuomo beating it, doing a beat down on him. Oh, this term is so terrible. No, they're illegal aliens. That's the official term. But now, thank God, at this time,

175.514 - 190.89 Steve Bannon

They were now having this national debate about is it just bad hombres, what's happening, this insurrection with the sanctuary cities we've talked about for years. Now it's coming to the forefront. They're trying to block. What they're trying to do is cause such negative optics, right?

0

190.93 - 208.558 Steve Bannon

These insurrectionists, these radicals trying to cause so much optics that you actually blink and you don't do the mass deportations. And to do the mass deportations, we said time and time again, you've got to go to these companies. You've got to perp walk out. some CEOs, people that are obviously hiring these people nonstop.

208.994 - 235.879 Steve Bannon

On top of this or in the middle of this comes a book and a guy that not only lays it all out of how it was done. He's saying, hey, wake up. This just wasn't some natural phenomenon. There was not the second law of thermodynamics that played here, right? That this was deliberate. And it was deliberate by the enemies of this country. He actually takes...

235.96 - 260.635 Steve Bannon

the red-green alliance, what you're seeing govern New York City right now, the Marxist-jihadist red-green alliance, and ties it back to foreign powers to say this invasion of the country happened on purpose. And you cannot understand it until you understand that fact. And once you understand that fact, you're going to have a whole different set

Chapter 4: How is immigration described as a weapon against the U.S.?

260.615 - 282.538 Steve Bannon

of policy solutions. He says, we said from the beginning, this is the central national security issue facing the United States of America. So I'm honored to bring on my old colleague, Peter Schweitzer. And Peter, I got to tell you, brother, and riding shotgun with you for years on some of these books you did that were so important and changed the conversation so much.

0

283.092 - 303.295 Steve Bannon

This, I believe, is by far your most important book. And I tell everybody, you've got to buy this book. If you're a War Room Posse member and have lived with us through this for five years and saw the Burquams and saw the Oscar Blue Ramirez's and all the people, Michael Young's, everybody was sent to the border into Central America and then up into the

0

303.275 - 320.743 Steve Bannon

You know, every every to every town's a border town, every state's a border state. We started that mantra here years ago with the we build the wall and we knew this was going to happen. This book, Peter, first off, is your most important, I think, by far, and it could not come.

0

321.213 - 335.84 Steve Bannon

In a more perfect time, because this is going to inform this debate with an intellectual substrate that people will finally start to connect the dots. So talk to me. How did you come up with the idea of it? Because you I know you do years of research.

0

Chapter 5: What evidence supports the claim of organized immigration?

336.742 - 342.613 Steve Bannon

And how did you have and how did this just come about the exquisite timing of this, sir?

0

343.977 - 367.993 Peter Schweitzer

Well, I wish I could say it was part of a master plan. The timing, it wasn't. I do a book every two years. And I felt like there's been a lot of discussion about immigration. But most of it, as you pointed out, Steve, it's about wages. It's about our culture. It's about crime on the streets. That's all important. But that's a debate about immigration.

0

367.973 - 393.922 Peter Schweitzer

What people were not looking at and did not appreciate by and large was the weaponization of immigration and how it actually is a weapon deployed against us. And one of the things that really motivated me, Steve, was the research. You know, I started looking into immigration. I started running across these quotes by senior Mexican officials. And I thought, this is just crazy.

0

394.022 - 411.043 Peter Schweitzer

I mean, do they really mean this? And I kept finding them. I'll give you an example of one that I found very early on. This is from one of the most powerful senators in Mexico. He's a member of the Moreno party, the ruling party. He sits on the National Defense Committee, which is the most powerful committee in the Mexican Senate.

0

411.604 - 436.354 Peter Schweitzer

And he said just a couple of years ago, quote, Mexicans are in our territories. California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Wyoming were going to take back the territory that was stolen from us. And another one, this is from a government report in December of 2024 by one of Scheinbaum's top aides.

436.334 - 460.401 Peter Schweitzer

writes in this government report, quote, we already know that the Mexican population in the United States reaches 39.9 million. We Mexicans are reclaiming our territory. So I looked at this and I thought, OK, well, this is just a bunch of bravado from blowhard Mexican politicians. And then I started looking at what is the apparatus that Mexico has in the United States.

460.381 - 484.6 Peter Schweitzer

And I found that the United Kingdom and China have six and seven consulates, respectively. Mexico has 53. And I started looking at what Mexico is doing with those consulates, and I found out that they're organizing protests. They're still organizing some of these anti-ICE protests. They've got a consulate up in the Twin Cities right now that's neck deep in what's going on in Minneapolis.

484.58 - 500.631 Peter Schweitzer

But I also found that they were meddling in our politics. They were literally meeting with Democratic Party activists in 2024 saying, how are we going to stop Trump? We got to stop Trump. We turned California from red to blue. We turned Arizona from red to blue. We've got to stop Trump.

500.611 - 516.578 Peter Schweitzer

So that was sort of the cascading effect that led me to deep dive into Mexico, to deep dive into China, which has their own sophisticated way of doing this, and looking at the Muslim Brotherhood and other actors. And this is where I ended up.

Chapter 6: How do foreign powers impact U.S. immigration policy?

620.747 - 642.567 Peter Schweitzer

And he said, look, we're taking back portions of the United States. Let's hope that the gringos don't realize this because they're going to become diabolical when they when they realize what's going on. But to your point, Steve, they are actively engaged in this activity, which completely violates our sovereignty. And it happens on a couple of levels.

0

643.308 - 670.32 Peter Schweitzer

One is these consulates, 53 of them, far more than anybody else. Diplomatic officials go around, I quote them in the book, talking about we are going to retake back this territory. We have consular officials that are involved in the riots in Los Angeles in 2025 and helping organize them, help to fan the flames, make them more radical. We also have them in May of 2024.

0

670.961 - 693.68 Peter Schweitzer

I got a copy of the transcript of a meeting that took place at the Oklahoma City Consulate. There's an excellent consulate in Oklahoma City. Who knew? And they invited diplomats from the consulates from Los Angeles to Orlando and all the consulates in between. They flew in officials from Mexico City, from the foreign ministry. There was a video address from the foreign minister herself.

0

694.301 - 717.053 Peter Schweitzer

And the only other group that was there was basically Democratic Party activists. And the discussion was, how are we going to undermine the Republicans? How are we going to defeat the Democrats? But in addition to that, Steve, there's another layer. And this was, again, I was totally shocked about this. I consider myself pretty well informed on U.S.-Mexico relations.

0

717.472 - 745.65 Peter Schweitzer

Mexico has, living in the United States, dozens of elected officials that sit in the Mexican Senate. They sit in the Chamber of Deputies, which is their parliament. They sit in those bodies. They work for the Mexican government, but they live full time in the United States. Why? Because their job is to represent Mexicans living in the United States, a massive intrusion into our sovereignty.

746.051 - 762.777 Peter Schweitzer

So you've got a guy that lives in Los Angeles who serves in the Mexican parliament. You have a lady who is from Arizona who sits in the Mexican parliament. She, by the way, supports legislation to turn California into the 33rd state of Mexico. Tells you where she's coming from.

763.178 - 785.768 Peter Schweitzer

And there's another guy that sits in the Mexican parliament who's also the head of international operations for the Morena Party. And I quote him. He went across the United States in 2025. And what was his job? His self-described job was to organize the militants. because he's organizing the resistance to the American government, the Trump administration.

786.168 - 808.414 Peter Schweitzer

He's meeting with Antifa-linked people, he's meeting with migrant activist groups, and he describes himself as a militant. So when you say that, oh, well, this is a declaration of war, People can call it whatever they want. This is what Mexican authorities are doing, and it's not that they kind of want to sort of talk to us about immigration issues. That's not what they're doing.

808.474 - 816.305 Peter Schweitzer

They're talking about undermining, and they are undermining, the sovereignty of the United States using Mexican government officials to do so.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the 'Manchurian generation' concept?

Okay, so the purpose of this exercise, War Room Posse, is that this book must open It's not a, oh, we really wanted to. This book must open at number one in the New York Times bestseller list. Just the way industries are structured, the New York Times kind of runs the deal.

0

1040.277 - 1062.352 Steve Bannon

And conservative books have to have overwhelming purchases because they only count – as we can tell you, they only count – Uh, so many of conservatives remember Jack Posobiec, a war room books. I think we opened at 10 with unhumans. The book should open much higher. Peter Navarro's book, all of it's only count.

1062.372 - 1086.731 Steve Bannon

So Peter, our exercise here, where's the best place to go in your mind or your opinion that we make sure that we actually count. To the New York Times, is it on Amazon? Do people go to a bookstore and ask for it and buy it? Because normally your books are not displayed up front. The more powerful the book, the more it's stuck in the stacks. So where do we go, particularly for this week?

1086.811 - 1104.604 Steve Bannon

I want everybody to get this because here's why we need that. We we need to force this. I mean, once upon a time when Peter and I were working together towards the end, you would be on 60 Minutes. I mean, you're the one that actually got people talking about Nancy Pelosi. Now you expose Nancy Pelosi for the phony she is.

1105.192 - 1121.718 Steve Bannon

for the insider trading and actually had a 60 minutes guy go to her weekly press thing and answer the question. And she melted down on stage. That was, but they're not going to, I'm sure you're not being embraced by 60 minutes or the New York times because this gets to the heart of what this issue is.

1121.938 - 1135.875 Steve Bannon

This was an invasion of the country, very well thought through by enemies of the country and not just randos. governments. Governments work together with NGOs and others, the Red-Green Alliance, to destroy this country.

Chapter 8: What actions can be taken to address the immigration crisis?

1228.709 - 1250.733 Peter Schweitzer

It started with Bill Clinton in 1996 when he was up for reelection. They decided that they were going to eliminate Trump. criminal background checks on people's citizenship applications. They ignored the literacy requirements. They ignored the moral test requirements because they wanted to meet new voters. And in fact, they were in the White House.

0

1250.753 - 1276.83 Peter Schweitzer

They were emailing back and forth saying people are going to accuse us of running voter mills. which is exactly what they were doing. What's interesting to point out is that started it. And every president since has done the same thing. Obama did it and Joe Biden did it. If you look at the three biggest years for naturalizing the most citizens in a given single year, it was 1996.

0

1276.81 - 1301.687 Peter Schweitzer

Bill Clinton's reelection, 2012, Barack Obama's reelection, and 2024, Joe Biden's attempted reelection. So the Democratic Party has recognized this in terms of new voters. They also recognize it, Steve, in the context of accumulating political power. The way we do the census in this country, you've talked about this, is you count people, you don't count citizens. So

0

1301.667 - 1323.709 Peter Schweitzer

Places like California are incentivized to have as many illegals as possible because it means more congressional seats. It means more electoral votes for the presidential election. It means more block grants from the federal government. Just the state of California, if you look at the illegal population, they have four more congressional districts as a result of illegals being in that state.

0

1323.689 - 1343.832 Peter Schweitzer

Now, four, you think that may not be a lot? Put that in context. Those four congressional seats that illegals effectively get in California, that's more than the congressional delegations of 13 U.S. states. 13 U.S. states have fewer congressmen representing them than the illegals in California do.

1344.133 - 1367.213 Peter Schweitzer

So it's a political winner for Democrats, and they also see it as a transformative force in America. This is the thing I think that's been ignored or has been brushed away by the mainstream media, which is a lot of these advocacies, whether it's Catholic Charities, whether it's Lutheran Services, whether it's some of the other migrant resettlement groups, they openly say...

1367.193 - 1388.29 Peter Schweitzer

that they favor and they support migrants because it's going to have a transformative effect and transform America. We didn't vote for that. They're deciding they wanted to do that because of their political agenda. So that's why you have this domestic component that is working in cohesion with these foreign powers.

1390.109 - 1409.697 Steve Bannon

Okay, so understanding, and people aren't stupid, in 17, Miller and I had it that we weren't going to count illegals, and we knew we could win in court. It was Wilbur Ross and these kind of moderate Republicans got all over President Trump and completely reversed it. This is why the census... It's so screwed up in the 2020 census.

1409.737 - 1431.321 Steve Bannon

President Trump saying it's got to be reversed now or, you know, we got to do it right. But that was reversed by in the pressure inside on the kind of Bush element of the rhino element was was tremendous. You skipped one presidency in there. You got Bill Clinton. We got Obama. We got you skipped Bush. Knowing the facts and these facts had to be pretty well known at the time.
