So, Steve, we're in a very interesting moment right now. You have been kind of, some would say in the media, the architect of the populist nationalist movement. Walk us through kind of the last year and what stage are we in in this populist nationalist chapter in American history?
Steve Bannon 1:32
Well, we're in the ascended stage, but you're going to hit speed bumps like today. I mean, this is absolutely humiliating, not for us, but for the standard way that Washington, D.C., thinks, right? I mean, today we saw conventional thinking. We saw this bipartisanship, that it's a malignant cancer inside our body. Politics has to be cut out. And look over the last—it's not just the last year. It's the last four years. President Trump leaves after having the 2020 election stolen. Pretty obvious. Goes to Mar-a-Lago. The political class totally abandons him. You know, there's a handful of people that have his back. He starts coming back. He makes a decision, the most courageous decision in the history of American politics, because he knew what was going to be in front of him.
Steve Bannon 2:27
He knew that they were going to— you know, try to bankrupt his company and destroy his family and eventually indict him. And so it was this courageous moral courage to come back, and that was in 2021. The precinct strategies. Scott Pressler trying to – going out and changing the architecture of these states, of the electorate, whether it was Arizona or Pennsylvania. And people going door to door. This is what populism is. It doesn't need – you don't need tons of money. You don't need any one or two leaders. It comes from the people itself. It's a sovereign will of the people. And you saw your energy and your focus and your determination took the 2022 election. President Trump then announced right afterwards. Look at what happened a year ago.
Steve Bannon 3:17
Look where we were a year ago at this conference. Remember, all the primaries had not come. The general election had not come. And look at the energy and enthusiasm that Turning Point had. And look at the work that Turning Point did, particularly in Arizona and in Pennsylvania. You guys deserve. the vanguard of a revolutionary movement, just like in 1775. And victory begets victory. You just supported an individual that has had the greatest political comeback in the history of the world. That was you. If you guys had faltered, if you guys had quit, if you guys had just said, I don't know if we can do this, it was your agency and a collective, the sovereign will of the people. That's why it trumps back. And what you saw here in the last 72 hours is just more of the D.C. same.
Steve Bannon 4:12
It's the same bipartisanship kind of old Republican Party thinking. Is that clear? No, it's very clear.
Charlie Kirk 4:18
I'm only interrupting just because, as I said on your program this morning, I'm busy running an event. Educate me as if I'm just passively watching the news. What is going on here with the CR up until the moment of this broadcast right now?
