What does the primal scream of a dying regime signify?

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.
Oren Cass 0:24
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 media influence the perception of financial institutions?

Steve Bannon 0:34
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
Tej Gill 0:38
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.
Steve Bannon 0:51
It's February. It is Friday. Friday, 6th February in the year of our Lord, 2026. There is a method to my madness this morning on the show. Because I wanted to talk, we have all this conversation about civil war and the path to civil war. We've had the clip from Ben Harnwell's amazing interview with Dr. Betts at King's College, where he's the tenured professor of modern warfare, and I think considered one of the leading experts on modern warfare in the broad context of what that means.

What is the significance of modern warfare in today's context?

Steve Bannon 1:24
modern warfare is not simply kinetic, it is also unrestricted warfare as we've taught you over the last five or six years on the show. We start with, but it's about also about institutions. This is why we start today with James Rosen, the chief Washington correspondent for Newsmax in his, the second volume of his magisterial biography of one of the greatest Americans, not simply of modern times, but I think of all time, and that is Associate Justice Scalia. The second volume is the Supreme Court years. The first volume is the rise to greatness. It takes you all the way through Scalia's life, his confirmation hearing. The second volume you pick up The first day he joined the Supreme Court and goes all the way through the 2000 election, the contested election there in Bush v. Gore in the decisions of the Supreme Court.

I can't recommend a book more highly. And also, for young people in your life, this is like the Buckley book. Give Sam Tannenhaus's book. which we sent to what, I don't know, the second, third, fourth printing. This audience and the feedback I've gotten is fantastic. James Rosen is the same type of writer. These are books that almost read like novels, and you just want to turn the page to do that. But it was about the institution and how fundamental Associate Justice Scalia was in changing the institution of the Supreme Court, particularly about originalism and about textualism. And that's why you're going to learn a lot. You'll understand the presence. I'm very proud that I sat on the five-man selection committee as the only non-lawyer for the selection of Gorsuch to replace Justice Scalia after he passed away.

How does Justice Scalia's legacy impact the Supreme Court?

Steve Bannon 3:12
Of course, you can't replace people like Scalia. You can't replace people like Associate Justice Thomas, just like he can't replace Charlie Kirk and he can't replace Andrew Breitbart. There's some people that come along, they're just unique and totally unique individuals and can't be replaced, but you will learn a lot. Dr. Thayer and Tej Gill are gonna return here momentarily. We're gonna talk about The piece in The Federalist today from our own Dr. Bradley Thayer that is quite extraordinary about this potential civil war in the West. Of course, Dr. Betts at King's College says, not only is it coming, but the election of Nigel Farage as reformer, remember what Nigel has done is extraordinary. He's taken a party basically he created, and now, as I think 2X what the Tories are, and the Tories have been around for 250 years.
Steve Bannon 4:00
longer maybe, I think, than 250 years. So it's extraordinary. He says that will only slow it down, but the path in the United Kingdom is set. When we talk about institutions, one of the ones we talk about so much is global capital, the global capital markets, finance. The great Orrin Cass, I guess it's coming out, it's online now, it's coming out on Sunday in the New York Times. You eviscerate the Wall Street, the Lords of Easy Money.
