Sam Faddis passed away on Saturday evening. If anybody's virtually almost irreplaceable here in the war room, Sam would be one of the key elements. Such a great job of representing patriots in the Magna Movement from the early days of the steal in 2020. Sam had so many years of experience in Iran, in the Middle East.

Who was Sam Faddis and why does the episode open with a tribute to him?

Stephen K. Bannon 0:24

He was unique, I think, among people coming on TV or radio. But God's will was he would leave us and he would leave us on Saturday night, but he will live with us forever. Sam Faddis, it's great to have you with us. Retired CIA officer Sam Faddis, good friend of the program.

David E. Sanger 0:43

My friend Sam Faddis, what a great friend of the show, great friend of the network, also really, really smart guy. Former CIA operative.

Unknown 0:49

Sam, I want to bring you into this. Sam Faddis, I know you have some thoughts, probably some great writing, too, on everything going on. If I had been in a position to advise the president before this war started, my advice would have been, don't do this. Don't start this war. This is a very bad idea. Tell us what your thoughts are. Send in the U.S. Navy, put boarding parties on board, all 40 of them, take all of their oil and take all of their tankers and apply all that money to the cost of the war and give it to the American taxpayers.

Stephen K. Bannon 1:15

Israelis are saying right now is that this thing's a non-starter. And when they look at the 10 points and they're getting their nose rubbed in this, they're actually, from their perspective, correct, are they not?

Unknown 1:24

This is a surrender document. There's no way in hell we can agree to this thing. What are your thoughts on what you're seeing right now from what the president has said to now Iran's response? I would say from long experience with the Iranians, don't pop any champagne corks. Sam, your advice to the president. Do not release any pressure we have on these people. Squeeze them and let them sit and be crushed under that pressure.

Stephen K. Bannon 1:50

The region is never going to be stable given its nature. Am I wrong in that, sir?

Unknown 1:56

Amen. Steve, look, stop trying to fix all of this. If they ever want to work it out, they can work it out. But we're not going to fix it. And look, I'm just going to say this. Jolani, head of, you know, the guy who runs Syria now, the guy's Al Qaeda. I get it. He wears a suit now and he claims he's not part of Al Qaeda anymore. Inviting the Al Qaeda Sunni extremists from Syria to go fight the. Shia extremist crazy people in Lebanon is not going to fix the problem. Those guys have been at war for 1500 years over the question of who gets to succeed the prophet. And they're going to keep fighting. forever, and it's not going to make it better to turn them on each other. They already do that enough on their own.

Unknown 2:41

There never was a Pennsylvania patriot like Sam Faddis who could quite do it all the way that he did.

Stephen K. Bannon 2:47

It's kind of breathtaking of how prescient Sam Faddis was, not simply a good man and a patriot that dedicated his life to his country, but somebody that had really the ability to look downrange, just an extraordinary individual. Tuesday, 28 July, Year of Our Lord 2026. It's not ironic that on the day we do the tribute in the afternoon that Zelensky and Netanyahu would be at the White House in the Oval Office this morning during the morning show. And, of course, we were led with Sam Faddis to break it all down for us since he did such a great job over the years on both sides. Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East, whether it's Gaza, Iran, the Houthis, all of it, and particularly since he spent, I don't know, at least a decade of his life in country with the Persians, but around that area for 25, 30 years.

Stephen K. Bannon 3:49

Also, our first guest this morning, we're going to try to jam a lot in. Zelensky's in the Oval right now. It's closed to press. They're going to have then Netanyahu come in at 11. Supposedly that's closed to press.

What is the administration’s stance on the Iran conflict and should the U.S. increase pressure?

Stephen K. Bannon 4:00

We'll see because, you know, the president calls it audible. If either they open it up to the media for Zelensky now or Netanyahu later, we will cut immediate to that because these are obviously two very important meetings.
