Learn English with Stephen K. K. Bannon. Stephen Kamb delivered the commencement address at Harvard University on May 29th, 2019. He is a former White House Strategist, strategist, and presidential adviser to President Donald Trump.
00:00:35.140How can you possibly ignore this 800-pound gorilla in the room, just as you can't ignore the presumptive, you know, four-time indicted Republican nominee.
00:01:12.680And you and you realize that you need we have to find a way to set aside these impulses.
00:01:18.980Oh, well, Joe Biden isn't handling who has been able to handle this ever.
00:01:22.820And therefore, I'm not voting for I'm withholding my vote out of some sort of protest.
00:01:27.320And I said, look, however flawed you may feel this republic is right now, there's no choice if you like America.
00:01:35.940And I would say this to a hog farmer, a Republican hog farmer in Iowa or a Montana, you know, wheat farmer or a mechanic in Alabama.
00:01:46.960These are people that are invested in the American dream.
00:01:51.740And if you think despotism is going to stop with just 15 million immigrants that you're going to get rid of or your political enemies, it doesn't end anywhere.
00:02:00.740And today there's an article about the Stassi files about to be even more stuff released where so many hundreds of thousands of German East German citizens were ratting on their neighbors.
00:02:13.980I do feel like we are in in this election cycle in particular, we are in an era of newly in our lifetime, newly overt, out and loud electoral racism.
00:02:28.040And I mean that not like I'm discerning racism in something that you're doing.
00:02:32.120I mean, no, like just being out and loud, proud racist.
00:02:34.700I mean, the Steve Bannon in Europe addressing conservatives in Europe saying you will be called racist where it is a badge of honor.
00:02:42.420Stephen Miller, who's a Trump administration official running ads in Florida, saying that the only real racism is racism against white people.
00:02:53.280And what white people need is white racial solidarity in a government that finally works for white people.
00:02:58.660I mean, they're running, they ran ads to this effect in Florida and they're now, they've now written it into policy for the, what would be the incoming Trump administration as part of Project 2025.
00:03:11.460And so, I mean, and you see it in right-wing culture too.
00:03:15.920You see people like Elon Musk at Twitter endorsing pseudoscientific racism, all of this quackery about IQ, right, and pseudoscientific racism.
00:03:26.380That's all newly popular among the tech bro right wing.
00:03:29.720This stuff is not subtle and it is not something that you need investigative journalism to figure out.
00:03:42.020And so that's an important distinction because it means that exposing it or trying to put a spotlight on it doesn't necessarily work because they are not ashamed of it.
00:03:51.420This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:03:59.200Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people.
00:04:04.420You're just not got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:04:08.680The people have had a belly full of it.
00:09:49.220It's just, you know, it's another day that ends in Y and the left is attacking the Supreme Court.
00:09:57.060And I pointed out recently, this is like clockwork, you know, in the springtime.
00:10:00.960All the Supreme Court cases, the big ones, get decided in June, usually the end of June.
00:10:06.760So what you're seeing right now is the left trying to damage the court, trying to force recusals,
00:10:11.460but also trying to get the American people to not believe in the Supreme Court, think it's corrupt, think it's ethically challenged.
00:10:17.860When, in fact, it's the left and these Democrat senators, right, who live in an institution where there are no conflict of interest laws, right?
00:10:53.200You know, thank God for justice—God bless Justice Alito for taking this strong stand, not backing down, right, to the mob, not backing down to these partisan attacks.
00:11:03.120And thank God for Mrs. Alito, right, for standing up for her rights and being a patriot and expressing her views.
00:11:09.700And if the left doesn't like it, tough luck.
00:11:13.700I'd love—by the way, I put on Getter the other day, she's going to the top of my list for VP.
00:11:29.320Does—did this warrant Justice Alito sending these guys a letter?
00:11:36.220He's a Supreme Court justice for life.
00:11:39.000There are a couple of grundoon senators about to be in the minority, and they know that.
00:11:43.540But why would Alito deem to use his letterhead and to send him a letter?
00:11:48.840Explain—why does he have to explain himself?
00:11:52.040You know, Steve, I think Justice Alito, he previously wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal defending one of his—another time he didn't recuse.
00:12:01.100And I think he—you know, the organized bar, right, when I say that, the ABA, the legal profession, used to defend the Supreme Court as an institution, used to, you know, defend the justices against these types of attacks.
00:12:16.240And there's, you know, sadly not that many people who do it.
00:12:20.080I'm so glad you're devoting time on your show to talk about this because people need to defend the Supreme Court.
00:12:26.840And your posse should get out there on X, retweet some of my stuff at Mark Paoletta, defending these justices and showing the American people you're standing up for the Supreme Court.
00:12:37.000It is the most independent, you know, branch in our government right now, right?
00:12:44.020It's not run by the Biden administration and all these other state and local governments that are getting, you know, coordinated with Biden to go attack President Trump, right?
00:12:55.880Because of President Trump's appointments, right, of three Supreme Court justices.
00:13:00.940And so going back to Alito, I think he just wanted to be very clear why he wasn't going to recuse.
00:13:07.520And, you know, senators, White House and Dermott had written a letter to the chief justice.
00:13:12.240They were seeking a meeting with the chief justice to talk about a recusal.
00:13:15.620That's such an invasion, OK, of the judicial process.
00:13:20.720A recusal decision is a part of the of the case, right?
00:13:25.700So the fact that they're trying to interject into a case to affect the outcome of that case is outrageous.
00:13:32.500It may be, you know, maybe there's an ethics complaint there about seeking to involve themselves in the decision with respect to the Trump case and essentially reduce the court.
00:13:46.500They're trying to shrink the court so that they have their preferred justices make these decisions.
00:13:50.760And I think that's unethical, actually, to be filing a request like that in the middle of a case.
00:13:56.740So, you know, God bless, as I said, God bless Justice Alito, Justice Thomas.
00:14:02.400He gets these these seem ridiculous requests.
00:14:06.220He he's not going to I think to date, at least he hasn't dignified them with a response.
00:14:12.200And, you know, and friends like me will go out there and and defend the justice and and show how I want to I want to get your I want to get your hang on for the break.
00:14:27.280Another big explosive expose on the FBI in the parents across this country.
00:14:34.200Lee Wams, Wamsgan is going to join us down in Texas about the establishment down there spent millions of dollars and won by a couple of hundred votes on two different races.
00:16:19.160As you've noted with respect to Judge Marchand, I mean, I am like now, you know, I have like a man crush on him.
00:16:25.260I mean, he is such a great judge that it's hard to see that the jurors wouldn't have the same impression.
00:16:32.320And he's just, you just keep on thinking, if you looked in a dictionary for like judicial temperament, that's what you get.
00:16:41.460Yeah, just screaming at witnesses in the courtroom.
00:16:44.360I mean, Mark, this is the twisted – that's Weissman, who is the architect of the Russiagate fiasco.
00:16:52.660This is a guy that's obsessed with taking down President Trump.
00:16:57.660And here you just see the total corruption of the system, right?
00:17:00.200You see it right there on MSNBC, which are following every tiny detail so they can finally get President Trump as a convicted felon.
00:17:07.780I mean, how do we – what do we have to do to pull out of this?
00:17:11.760We had Ken Paxson on here this morning.
00:17:13.660And by the way, you were the guy that – you and Don McGahn were the one on that special committee we had to select the Supreme Court to narrow it down so President Trump could interview, you know, half a dozen people and start to narrow it down.
00:17:27.180And you walk through the importance of not just of biography and not just of opinions but federal judges who had – or appellate judges who in their writing could be people that drive the court like Gorsuch and like Kavanaugh, not disasters like taking Souter from, I guess, a Supreme Court of a state, right?
00:17:50.480That's what the guys in New Hampshire left you or O'Connor who has had a great biography but became a centrist to left judges.
00:17:59.800Most of them do eventually except for icons like Justice Thomas.
00:18:06.440I mean this thing is so corrupted now.
00:18:10.160How are we to pull ourselves out of it when you've got Weissman sitting there going to have a man crush on a judge that has clearly got it out for not just President Trump.
00:18:20.140But his defense counsel and any witness he puts up there, sir.
00:18:23.760Yeah, I mean incredibly biased and just all in for the prosecution in every single way to try and help the prosecution on a case that had no crime that he wouldn't allow any instructions on with respect or expert testimony on why it's not an election violation, election law violation.
00:18:42.600And as you said, he loses it because a witness is looking at him.
00:18:46.960He clears the courtroom and yells at him.
00:18:48.400I mean, you have a man crush on a judge like that.
00:18:52.500You know, and going back to the Supreme Court selections, you know, looking for people, Steve, and how we get out of this, the Supreme Court is our beacon of integrity right now.
00:19:03.460And what we were looking for, what President Trump wanted to find, right, were judges, as he's exhibiting now, and I think Justice Thomas has exhibited for 30 years, are people who are going to stand up, right, for what's right, not be cowed and not be seduced by the siren calls of the left, right, for respect.
00:19:20.660Like Justice Kennedy was, or lots of other justice, Justice Souter, an awful selection as a justice, at least.
00:19:29.140And so, you know, you're seeing that with Alito.
00:21:06.740And, you know, Steve, that Washington Post story was a great example where their previous reporter, as left-wing as he was, right, Robert Barnes, he went out, you know, did some reporting, realized this was just a local dispute amongst neighbors.
00:21:21.920And he never wrote a story on it, right?
00:21:33.000Because they want to undermine the Supreme Court, right?
00:21:35.020They're not going to allow these people to have private lives just as normal citizens.
00:21:39.000Yes, they have a day job, very important day jobs, but they're also just private citizens, you know, who are living their own lives.
00:21:45.960And you're seeing all of these major organizations, news organizations, left-wing organizations like the New York Times, like the Washington Post, they are hiring investigative journalists.
00:21:56.180The newest to hire to the Washington Post for the Supreme Court is an investigative journalist coming out of Salon Magazine, okay?
00:22:02.720And so what they want to do is they want to dig up dirt on all these justices and their spouses and their family to attack them, to make life hell for them, right?
00:22:11.520That's what's going on here, too, right?
00:22:12.700They just – because this way they can – it's on a multi-level attack on them, right?
00:22:29.900In terms of the rule of law, we've lived through, right, I've been in this town since 1983, saw awful Supreme Court decisions over and over and over.
00:22:39.640My heart was broken so many times, right?
00:22:41.900Did I go to a justice's home and picket or attack them or try and assassinate them?
00:23:16.300The leader of the Democrats right in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, literally went to this Supreme Court steps during an abortion argument in 2020, funny enough,
00:23:25.660and threatened Kavanaugh and Gorsuch that they better vote a certain way or you will release the whirlwind and you won't know what hit you.
00:23:36.300OK, this is coming from not a fringe person.
00:23:38.980This is the Democrat leader in the Senate, in my view, physically threatening Supreme Court justices if they didn't vote a certain way on a case.
00:23:49.080And you're seeing that today, right, with this letter from White House in Durbin saying, I want to meet with you, Chief Justice Roberts, to talk about recusals.
00:24:09.300And the pasta needs to, you know, read up on this and push back and get out there on Twitter, write your articles, do whatever you can to show support for the Supreme Court.
00:24:17.520Because it's under attack and it's the last bastion to protect our liberties right now.
00:24:21.460OK, we need folks to be for small turtles.
00:24:24.460By the way, the Kavanaugh confirmation and then Dobbs and affirmative action.
00:24:28.240That's what got the media and the left so worked up to try to destroy the court as we know it.
00:24:33.620Real quickly, FBI, Attorney General Paxson came in hard today.
00:24:45.340Look, over the years, right, literally since since, you know, 16 or so.
00:24:49.400Right. They have been weaponized and, you know, it's there.
00:24:53.360There are great people in the FBI, but the leadership and down through the middle ranks, I think, have just been, you know, Trump derangement syndrome, that everything is viewed through this very, very political prism.
00:25:05.000And we've seen some terrible abuses of power, of people's liberties.
00:25:11.020And there needs to be a house cleaning and there needs to be some accountability at the FBI.
00:25:16.040And I hope when President Trump is reelected, that happens.
00:25:21.960Mark, where can people get all your content?
00:25:24.780You guys at CRA are doing an amazing job.
00:26:09.800Yeah, shocking, breaking story today, Steve, that the Department of Justice has something called the Community Relations Service and that they have been tracking Moms for Liberty along with a lot of very inflammatory words.
00:26:33.500But, again, parents, a huge threat to apparently the federal government and the Biden administration.
00:26:39.240The thing is, Steve, this Community Relations Service was sending emails to school board members.
00:26:45.780So Luke Rosiak, who put this story forward, saw and realized that Roanoke County School Board was considering putting into place a policy that Governor Youngkin had written regarding how to handle any issues of transgender students in schools,
00:27:01.460making sure that parents were notified when students were experiencing any type of mental distress.
00:27:06.080Well, apparently, this Community Relations Service didn't like that.
00:27:10.140So they sent email after email to school boards to basically intimidate them to try to make sure that they weren't implementing policies that literally some of these school board members ran on and won on these policies to implement in their school districts.
00:27:25.300So just really shocking stuff coming out of the DOJ and the FBI after they ignored a FOIA request.
00:27:32.100And I want to say thank you, Steve, to America First Legal.
00:27:37.900Stephen Miller and the folks at America First Legal are warriors on the front lines.
00:27:42.880And when they see that the government isn't responding to information requests, when they see moms and dads across the country that are getting hurt, America First Legal steps up time and time again.
00:27:52.120So bravo to them for helping Daily Wire and Luke with this story.
00:27:59.400We're just going to hold you through the break because I want to make sure people understand exactly what's going on and what people are doing.
00:28:06.940And we didn't tee this up beforehand or from this morning.
00:28:18.180I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.
00:28:23.740First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:28:28.260This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.
00:28:35.760Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:28:49.820In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move.
00:28:57.200If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:29:08.240I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:29:13.760Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.
00:29:26.080Watch Jim's warning video now, before it's censored like I've been in the past.
00:29:31.860Go to RickardsWarRoom.com. That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.
00:29:37.320Mr. Trump, how are you feeling about today?
00:30:47.740And in particular, one witness who's now suffering gravely because of what's happened, because of the viciousness of these thugs, the vicious people, what they've done to that person.
00:32:14.940The commonality of the folks at the Coca-Cola 600 at NASCAR the other day was in Charlotte and the South Bronx, that crowd there, and the bodega run, and outside the court.
00:32:32.740And when President Trump went to Wildwood, New Jersey with 100,000 people, think of the history that's been made in the last couple weeks.
00:32:40.820And when he goes to these rallies is that in the imperial capital, not in the room, not in the deal.
00:34:24.920This is Texas, arguably the most powerful state in the most powerful country in the history of mankind.
00:34:33.880The Attorney General Ken Paxson, who already went through an impeachment and fought through it and today for the first time told the story about the FBI investigation that he was going to do that started this when they came and tried to investigate him.
00:34:46.160And he said they're a group of gangsters, and the DOJ has got to be purged.
00:34:51.740I want to take a second and just walk through Daily Wire, what America First Legal, Stephen Miller and the team, and the Daily Wire team.
00:35:01.300Because once again, they're targeting innocent Americans who are trying to stand up for their children, their families, and their communities.
00:35:09.900So there's a Department of Justice unit called the Community Relations Service, and they are dedicated supposedly to preventing and responding to hate crimes.
00:35:21.040They have been tracking Moms for Liberty in the same manner that it tracks the KKK and other groups that are hate groups.
00:35:31.660And you know the SPLC put us on that anti-government extremist group.
00:35:35.640There has been such a concerted effort by the media and by the left to villainize moms and dads that dare to question the education establishment in America.
00:35:45.640There is so much money that is siphoned out of our public education system that is put into politics in order to guarantee outcomes.
00:36:02.300So he did a FOIA, a records request, for this information.
00:36:06.960He wanted to know how we were being tracked, in what manner.
00:36:09.720And the Department of Justice completely ignored this FOIA.
00:36:12.940And so thank you to America First Legal, Stephen Miller, and your team for fighting on behalf of Daily Wire to get this information from the government.
00:36:20.820Because the government is keeping secrets from the American people and targeting everyday American moms and dads.
00:36:26.640And so what Luke was able to find out was that, in fact, this community relations service is contacting school board members directly.
00:36:35.520So they're tracking us to be able to see where there are conservative school boards who are trying to enact the policies that they ran on.
00:36:44.080And one, Governor Youngkin had a sample policy that he had written around the fact that parents should know if their children are saying that they're transgender at school.
00:36:55.320And so this school board in Roanoke, Virginia, apparently, was contemplating introducing this policy in their school district.
00:37:03.800Well, the Department of Justice sent emails directly to school board members, in fact, pestering them, it seems, over and over that they wanted to act as a mediator.
00:37:13.720So we're talking about a mediator for five woke people who are fighting against this because Roanoke has been a pretty conservative county in general.
00:37:22.180And the DOJ is pressuring school boards to not enact conservative policies.
00:37:27.960And as a former school board member, I just, what a level of intimidation coming out of our Department of Justice.
00:37:36.020It's a huge obliteration of parental rights and of the rights of Americans to be represented by people in their local communities on school boards.
00:37:46.740What are you guys going to do about this?
00:46:44.720So, Lee, let me deconstruct what you just said.
00:46:48.160You are not just going to wait for the normal legislative process.
00:46:51.960I take it you're thinking of a proposition or maybe even going to court because this thing about the open primaries is the way that these phony Republicans basically win with Democrat votes.
00:47:03.860And then they go to the assembly and turn over power to the Democrats.
00:47:39.380In Idaho, in 2011, a federal court decisioned that the primary system being closed was unconstitutional because it restricted the state GOP's First Amendment rights to freedom of association.
00:47:55.100The case states that a state must act within constitutional limits when it regulates a political party's internal processes.
00:48:02.720But among those constitutional limits include the First Amendment right to freedom of association.
00:48:09.560And so our Republican Party has a First Amendment right to freedom of association with each other.
00:48:15.820And freedom of association also includes a freedom of dissociation, which means we do not want the Democrats playing in our primary.
00:48:47.600I know our audience is vast in Texas, and for a reason, we have the back of the grassroots in MAGA down there, and it's not a better state with better people.
00:49:28.080Texas is too great a place to have this continually happen, particularly now that people are awakened to it, and they know what's going on.
00:49:36.780The establishment is still going to fight you, fight you, fight you, fight you, fight you.
00:49:43.520Millions and millions of dollars, look, $13 million in the House race, and it went by 300 votes.
00:49:47.780They're going to try to crush you with money, and it's time now that he, and they only would have won with Democratic votes, Democrat votes.
00:50:25.220They haven't, wexed, did not come back to us and said anything's wrong, which is a good sign.
00:50:30.000Last time, they discredited a whole bunch of signatures.
00:50:33.120Robin Voss has 10 days to dispute anything, which we know he will, and then our lawyers step in, or the lawyers, the lawyers step in, their lawyers.
00:50:40.940I guess I say us, we the people, step in, and then we have five days.
00:50:45.260We believe we're well over what is needed, and then it'll be a primary in August, I mean, a recall, a new recall election in August.
00:51:51.720And what we're doing, our USA-made products, we're running the MyPillow, where we sold over $83 million, $25, no matter what size, to the War Room Posse.
