Stephen K. Bannon delivers a speech to the Council of National Policy. It's one of the most important speeches I've ever given, and it's one I think is some of the best I've given in my entire life.
00:01:58.700I've given a series of speeches, some of the best speeches I've ever given in my entire life, I might say humbly.
00:02:06.220A couple of these I really want, because I want you to see the argument as I'm making the argument.
00:02:11.460So what we've done in this morning's show, in the first hour, is I've cut up some of these speeches I want to share with you.
00:02:18.980And then we're going to discuss them as we go on.
00:02:22.100So this speech is a speech I gave in front of the Council of National Policy.
00:02:27.540It's a very old and vigorous and important.
00:02:32.200It's probably one of the most important conservative organizations, very powerful in Capitol Hill, very powerful in the conservative movement.
00:02:57.420And here I make the argument about President Trump and President Trump's return to power and why President Trump is.
00:03:05.820You have General Washington, you have Abraham Lincoln and you have President Trump and President Trump understood where he is in this historical arc.
00:03:14.060And as importantly, President Trump understands how the people had to kind of mull over Biden's defeat or the steal of 2020.
00:03:23.760And remember, in this show, we will never back off that because we know the election was stolen.
00:03:27.980But the people had to think about it and chew it over.
00:03:31.040The left put democracy on the ballot as the most important thing, put democracy on the ballot.
00:05:09.200I want to thank you, and I want to really thank CNP for inviting me here tonight.
00:05:15.500We are at a unique moment in history, and it's very important that we have your total 100% commitment on this project, each of you individually in your groups.
00:05:33.380And that's when Bob asked me to talk, I was more, I said, man, this is amazing, because you're the exact group that can make this happen.
00:05:44.040If you remember the, they had a movie, Steven Spielberg made this movie about Lincoln, right?
00:05:50.300I don't know, 10 years ago, was it Day-Lewis played Lincoln?
00:05:55.860There's a scene in there where they're talking about the Emancipation Proclamation.
00:10:02.760Praying the rosary on their knees in front of a butcher factory.
00:10:09.080Three, four, five years in a federal prison.
00:10:11.500And let me tell you about a federal prison, not a camp.
00:10:13.280A federal prison is a dangerous, drug-infested place.
00:10:17.800And these men are there with no money.
00:10:19.640I mean, hey, at Danbury's women's prison, there are three women there in their 70s that just got sent there.
00:10:28.920We have to understand what the people that ran this country, what they represented.
00:10:36.220And what they represented is not the founding doctrines, not the underlying values of the Judeo-Christian West.
00:10:44.000You, more than any, know the righteousness of our cause.
00:10:49.640With Trump, they did everything, including working up this thing that he's the new Caesar, a tyrant.
00:11:06.800Robert Kagan is the executive editor who was until a couple of days ago until he quit the Washington Post because they wouldn't endorse Kamala Harris.
00:11:14.920And he's Victoria Nuland's husband, Victoria Nuland of the color revolutions that has the West so deep into the Ukraine and trying to do color revolutions here in the United States.
00:11:24.220Kagan, Kagan, one of the public intellectuals and intelligentsia in the January 1st edition of the Washington Post, writes a 5,000-word essay on Caesarism and Trump's the new Caesar.
00:11:37.920Not only are you fascists, not only are you Nazis, not only the deplorables now become garbage, but our leaders, our leaders, our dictators and autocrats.
00:11:51.640And teeing it up so that young men who don't know any better will become either a Brutus or a Lee Harvey Oswald.
00:12:05.180They drove what led to the attempted assassination on President Trump.
00:12:11.720And they must be held and they will be held accountable.
00:12:24.060This election, David Brooks just wrote a 12,000-word essay in The Atlantic.
00:12:28.680And I know a lot of you guys do not subscribe to The Atlantic.
00:12:32.680But this one you should read because he nails it.
00:12:35.220And David Brooks is the, you know, kind of a intellectual of the more traditional conservative, more traditional Republican, kind of a never-Trump wing of the party, right?
00:12:45.340But he writes that this election came down to the credentialed class, right, versus populism, versus the populist.
00:12:55.080That you have, you know, all these people that went to college, all these people that work in the law firms, the accounting firms, the investment banks, the commercial banks, the symbolic workers that move, you know, things around on a computer, data around a computer, versus hard-working, working-class and middle-class Americans.
00:14:27.160They didn't finance it like we normally do in tens and 30-year bonds.
00:14:30.460We did it short term, like places like Argentina, because they tried to keep rates down.
00:14:37.720What President Trump has to do in his team, whether it's Howard Lutnick or Scott Besson or Larry Kudlow or Peter Navarro, that team has to very quickly come up with a financing plan.
00:17:00.640Most of the prisoners that took it were, we had some older folks, but most of them were young African-Americans or Hispanic males, right?
00:17:16.380We have tremendous, and all of them, nonviolent drug dealers.
00:17:21.040These people have 10, 15, 20-year sentences.
00:17:24.680So think about your 25 years old, you've got a wife and a couple of kids, and you get a 15-year sentence.
00:17:30.240You're not getting out of the prison until you're 40, unless President Trump's First Step Act kicks in, and, you know, you can get out a couple years early.
00:17:40.580When you sit there and teach the structure of our government and go back to the Constitution, talk about the contractual relationship of that,
00:17:48.840and that 235 years later, it's still very operative as an operating plan for the country.
00:17:55.180And then you talk about how it's financed and the deficits you go through and the debt.
00:17:59.700They sit there, and they look, and they go, we're the criminals.
00:18:10.840I knew President Trump was going to win in about the first two weeks of Danbury, and here's why.
00:18:16.040One of the ways I would teach you, the only thing you can get at Danbury is commissary.
00:18:20.140You can buy some gym clothes, and you can, you know, buy some instant coffee and things like that.
00:18:24.680And I held up the commissary sheet, and I said, how much is this commissary sheet, how much is it different from, I don't know, a random date, January of 2021?
00:18:37.260And they go, oh, Mr. Bannon, it's up 50% or more.
00:18:41.480And I went and I had the, the prison had printed out, the commissary guys had printed out a sheet from February 2021.
00:22:58.740Every time they were trying to cut the little bureaucracy they had, they thought it was too much then.
00:23:03.820Remember, in February 17, Fenton was there.
00:23:06.880When I came out, the first time I really came out publicly with Ryan said CPAC, and I said, they said, Schlapp goes, what are you guys working on?
00:23:13.320I said, there are three things, right?
00:23:15.040We have the America first national security policy, which is to make sure we have allies, not protectorates.
00:23:23.180Europe is not a protectorate of the United States.
00:23:25.920The Middle East, the Middle East, the Saudis and UAE are not a protectorate of the United States.
00:23:32.680Japan and South Korea are not protectorates.
