this is what you're fighting for I mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing
00:00:11.660
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians
00:00:19.400
get total control and total power because this is just like in Arizona this is just like in
00:00:24.860
Georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and
00:00:29.300
misrepresentations is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is
00:00:33.580
the fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's
00:00:40.620
your host Stephen K Bannon okay welcome to the six o'clock show I want to thank real America's
00:00:48.040
voice I want to thank the team down at Palm Beach at the studio Natalie great show um Mo Bannon Captain
00:00:53.300
Bannon has been representing war room uh and myself in Hungary for the last couple days CPAC Hungary
00:00:58.960
another great event they allowed me to do a short uh talk that we did by video uh to tee her up uh
00:01:06.240
great speech Mo I have not yet begun to fight I know you were there on the day of uh Victor Orban
00:01:11.920
uh just give it give us your put us in the room give us a sense of the community that's coming around
00:01:17.620
what I call the sovereignty movement or the populist nationalist movement what was the feel at this uh
00:01:23.020
CPAC Hungary the the feeling was a lot of camaraderie as we saw there there were many leaders from not
00:01:32.260
only Europe but South America and also the United States and the main theme that we saw in everyone's
00:01:39.400
speeches was that we cannot let the globalists win we cannot let the left globalists liberals win in any of
00:01:48.040
our countries we must continue to fight for sovereignty and for conservative conservatism in
00:01:55.560
each one of our countries we cannot let those on the left the globalists win and destroy our countries
00:02:03.080
Mo how big did they take the American presidential election the the house obviously the third of the
00:02:10.660
senate but particularly the president in November how how big is in this movement how much weight are
00:02:16.440
they putting on what because I know they have the European parliamentary elections in June which are
00:02:20.040
important and we're going to we're covering it wall to wall but how big is the center of gravity of our
00:02:25.360
fight here in the United States it's extremely extremely important to those members here in Hungary and
00:02:35.260
across Europe because they know they've seen what's happened under Joe Biden in the last few years and if
00:02:41.600
Donald Trump does not get back in the White House they see what is going to happen not only for the
00:02:46.740
United States but for all of our relationships across Europe so it is extremely important not only for
00:02:52.440
their parliamentary elections here in Hungary but also for our presidential election in November they
00:02:58.300
understand that we must must have Donald Trump back in the White House you had a quick meeting I know you
00:03:05.500
met with the Bolsonaros tell us give any update on Brazil because they're there you know they're coming
00:03:10.040
on on Bolsonaro the ex-president who was stolen from him but they're coming down on him hard I know
00:03:17.840
Eduardo was there any updates from Brazil so they are going to continue to fight they're not going to let
00:03:24.260
down and as of right now we are tracking that CPAC will also have an event in Brazil in the next few months
00:03:33.340
over the summer so we will know more about that in the next few weeks but the Bolsonaros are going to
00:03:39.520
continue to fight in fact I think we're sending you and the team to Brazil into Mexico if we can
00:03:46.560
commit if we if Lula let either a let abandon in the country or more importantly let you out of the
00:03:51.880
country Mo what's your social media how do folks keep up to date with uh going on by the way um Ben

00:04:27.880
Bannon continue on in your networking over there uh thank you for doing this and great speech
00:04:33.120
thank you remember Dr. Kevin Roberts lit him up at the World Economic Forum in Davos he threw down and
00:04:41.540
told Davos man hey no offense uh I look around all the world's problems and uh you're the cause of most
00:04:47.900
of it they were kind of shocked we're gonna see if he gets an invite next year uh I got a cold open
00:04:52.740
for Dr. Roberts who joins us from Heritage let's go ahead and play it former president's bid to
00:04:57.060
return to the White House he's been laying the groundwork for what another term in office might
00:05:01.080
look like primarily how he plans to execute his goal of overhauling the federal government and
00:05:05.400
rid Washington in the so-called deep state CNN's Kyung La investigated some of the former president's
00:05:10.920
promises and the impact they may have here's what she found
00:05:14.160
at every 2024 campaign rally for former president Donald Trump
00:05:21.160
he makes a vow we will demolish the deep state we will demolish the deep state we will demolish
00:05:29.180
the deep state the deep state is his named enemy federal workers who Trump believes conspire
00:05:35.360
against him here's my plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington
00:05:40.860
corruption Trump's 10-point plan in his campaign website outlines sweeping changes he wants to
00:05:46.400
make to government agencies faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute
00:05:52.100
conservatives Christians or the left's political enemies the end result would erase federal worker
00:05:58.360
protections that have been in place for more than 140 years eliminate entire departments and
00:06:04.200
consolidate power around Trump to understand the impact of what could happen in Trump's
00:06:10.840
second term you only have to look at his first I will immediately reissue my 2020 executive order
00:06:18.960
restoring the president's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats that executive order he signed just before
00:06:25.580
losing the 2020 election turns government jobs into political appointments giving the Trump administration
00:06:31.500
the power to fire employees at will and replace them with loyalists making them according to this federal
00:06:38.100
report subject to removal for partisan political reasons do you want people doing scientific research
00:06:44.220
of the nuclear regulatory commission who don't have the qualifications to perform that kind of work
00:06:48.900
their only qualification is an allegiance to the Trump agenda Jacqueline Simon represents a large
00:06:54.440
government employee union she says the expertise of government workers can't be replaced on a political
00:06:58.920
whim once that kind of stuff is politicized let's say you deny a disability claim based on somebody's
00:07:05.460
politics how do you feel as you think about what the federal workforce could look like
00:07:10.440
it's very disheartening and it's it's scary I think that there will be a massive exodus of competence
00:07:19.460
I do think that this is in part an effort to weaponize the bureaucracy lifelong Republican Robert
00:07:25.580
Shea was a political appointee under President George W. Bush he believes politics should be kept
00:07:30.280
out of the federal workforce no matter who is in the White House I would expect to see wide swaths of
00:07:37.460
civil servants removed from their positions and replaced with people more loyal to President Trump
00:07:45.340
do you read this as a loyalty test I do these documents obtained by the National Treasury Employees
00:07:51.940
Union show the Trump administration plan to cut deep one agency proposing almost 70 percent of his
00:07:58.700
positions should become political appointments by claiming they deal with policy IT specialist data
00:08:06.080
management budget information support manager we read the jobs list to former Obama era OMB official
00:08:13.220
Kenneth Baer so why would you make all these positions political appointees because that's what
00:08:18.700
they want to destroy the independent objective civil service that's why I think it would really
00:08:22.960
fundamentally weaken the American government but also American democracy if we got rid of that career
00:08:29.060
staff the deep state must and will be brought to heel it's but that's only part of what Trump appears
00:08:36.440
to have in store move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside the Washington
00:08:43.680
swamp to places filled with patriots who love America this this goes on CNN actually did a good job in
00:08:52.380
in presenting it in a very political way Dr. Kevin Roberts uh who is kind of the head of the 20 project
00:08:59.760
2025 you know since we started talking about this I think over a year ago I don't think it's any project
00:09:05.820
or any endeavor on an outside group that we've brought up except for maybe the precinct strategy
00:09:10.860
that causes them almost a deep traumatic response why is that doctor because they they always spin it with
00:09:18.740
lies but what is the trauma you can tell they've got people when you they mention this they go to like
00:09:24.000
PTSD why is project 2025 which is just to take the 3 000 appointees any president gets and make sure
00:09:32.100
people are trained and you curate and the best people can get in there why is even the ability to do
00:09:37.520
that cause fear in the hearts of all of DC it's glorious to see the trauma Steve and it happens for two or
00:09:46.460
three reasons the first is the first is they know we're over the target like we have it's taken us
00:09:52.500
decades but we've figured out that even more important than particular elected officials in
00:09:58.000
Congress obviously the elected official known as the president's the most important that the people
00:10:02.560
who are actually running the government against the interests of the everyday American are these
00:10:08.300
unelected bureaucrats and you know I'm certainly guilty of this I'm not pointing fingers at anyone
00:10:12.840
elsewhere for most of my professional career I just didn't realize the extent of that problem you
00:10:17.460
were probably the first mover in this right but the second is we actually have a plan I mean they can't
00:10:23.360
believe that the conservative movement the sovereignty movement whatever you want to call it in the United
00:10:28.760
States actually has gotten organized enough to bring together every group that matters that actually
00:10:35.280
does something rather than just talk about doing something and present the plan and then the third is
00:10:40.600
and this is also equally surprising to them it's extraordinarily bold and so I agree with CNN believe
00:10:47.400
it or not when they say we need to keep politics out of government jobs that's the precise reason for
00:10:53.300
project 2025 is to get the politics out of government jobs
00:10:56.820
talk to me about about because they're saying they're there that destroyed the U.S. government it's all the
00:11:03.620
U.S. government there's a difference between having our government which is the apparatus around our
00:11:09.500
republic and the administrative state this thing has metastasized the administrative state and the
00:11:14.840
rogue element the deep state but can you just compare and contrast for audience the difference
00:11:18.160
between actually having a functioning government and what has metastasized into this administrative
00:11:23.220
state I will and in fact I'll I'll do this following your lead with this question which is
00:11:29.160
instrumental because it is crucial people may hear the framing of CNN or some of the the commentary of
00:11:36.400
their guests and think well gosh you know project 2025 or president Trump want to get rid of competence
00:11:41.740
in the government that sounds terrible in fact what we're trying to do is get rid of incompetence
00:11:46.220
and terrible political partisan bias that to the point of your question have become commonplace over the
00:11:53.180
last several decades in other words to be succinct about it Steve what we're trying to do is just hit a reset
00:11:59.340
which is to say that for those of us who understand that there is of course a place for the executive
00:12:04.940
branch and we understand therefore there is a place for a handful of federal government employees
00:12:11.380
we simply want to get back to not just a much smaller number of government employees but most
00:12:17.560
importantly to two things first of all if you work in the executive branch just like if you work in
00:12:23.480
another company or in a non-profit say at Heritage you work for the president of that organization
00:12:28.780
that's really common sense for Americans and it's in the best interest of that president the best
00:12:33.840
interest of that organization in this case the federal government to hire people who are extremely
00:12:38.780
competent at their jobs there just needs to be fewer of them but the second point I would argue is
00:12:43.660
equally important and that is at the origin of the administrative state becoming so large and so
00:12:50.500
powerful and so unaccountable is political cowardice and it's political cowardice by the main branch the first
00:12:58.140
branch of the U.S. government and that's Congress the administrative state and all of its abuses is a
00:13:04.240
creation of members of Congress over many decades in both parties frankly who have simply given away the
00:13:11.920
accountability given away the authority that they properly have in the Constitution to these unelected
00:13:17.900
bureaucrats so that they themselves would not have to be politically accountable for what happens it is time in
00:13:24.900
essence and to sum up here for the United States to get back to a proper role for the executive branch
00:13:32.740
I want to before I go on to some other topics I want to make sure because we we pride ourselves in immersing
00:13:39.700
or giving access for the posse to immerse themselves in information
00:13:44.760
on project 2025 where you've got this amazing 900 page policy book but I want people to get access to
00:13:51.360
all of it because you're not trying to play hide the football in any of this so where do people go
00:13:54.500
to find out more about the truth about what's actually going on project 2025.org you can see
00:14:01.220
every word of the document there if you're so inspired you can as 10,000 other Americans have already done
00:14:07.720
submit your resume to work in the next administration the whole point of this project as you say so well
00:14:13.420
Steve isn't to hide the football quite the opposite it's to be so totally transparent which comes
00:14:18.640
out of the complete confidence we have and these eternal principles and policies that it actually
00:14:24.120
even beyond just the the work itself which is explained at project 2025.org actually becomes an
00:14:31.340
inspiration for Americans to believe that maybe just maybe we might have a decade or more of real
00:14:39.440
great policies that also the administrative state can be part of
00:14:43.060
it's what MAGA stands for so everybody go there today project 2025.org it is incredible the amount
00:14:52.200
of tools they give you the information okay two things you talk about cowders I want to talk about what
00:14:57.340
I call this red green merger the radical what's happening on the university campus driven by this
00:15:02.440
faculty and I got to talk about my favorite topic Ukraine let's start with the college campuses
00:15:06.980
this is one of the most serious I say it's the most anti-american movement I've ever seen of the
00:15:12.740
radical Marxist left with these Sharia supremacists give us you come from academia give us your I say
00:15:19.600
the problems in the faculty senate and in the administration the kids are a symptom of the
00:15:23.980
problem your thoughts sir yeah a couple of things the first is just it comes from experience and you
00:15:29.580
know 20 years ago or so I was a young history professor at a major university in the southwest on the
00:15:35.420
tenure track everything going well professionally and I realized something I mean I saw the following
00:15:40.480
in graduate school but I realized I guess the pervasiveness of this something and that was
00:15:44.400
these people are crazy the faculty members my colleagues they actually hate America and and the
00:15:49.880
story that I'll convey that I think your audience will appreciate is in the year that President Reagan died
00:15:54.700
my colleagues in this history department decided they were going to hold a symposium that would assess
00:15:59.780
Reagan's legacy of course I was the only Christian conservative member of this faculty and I was not
00:16:06.720
yet tenured so I was taking a big risk by doing the following and I said well there were four of you
00:16:11.500
talking about his legacy I'm going to volunteer to be part of this symposium so the only other person
00:16:17.320
on the faculty I could get to join me wasn't even a conservative he was a libertarian economist
00:16:21.820
and he said Kevin I gotta I gotta help you out here brother I'm gonna join this symposium they
00:16:27.460
canceled it they could take on an untenured history professor four to one but they couldn't take on
00:16:32.900
two of us challenging them that's the point even though they have run roughshod over these institutions
00:16:39.360
and it's terrible trust me I think it's the the worst thing it's the it's the most terrific or horrific
00:16:45.260
problem we have to face in the United States ultimately if they are matched by just a small handful of
00:16:51.760
people particularly university presidents and board members who challenge them and say they may not do
00:16:58.800
what they're doing they actually will stand down and that leads me to the second quick point Steve
00:17:03.160
and that is I was I was asked yesterday by some friends in Austin about my alma mater the University
00:17:07.680
of Texas where the president I think has acquitted himself well and they said Kevin if you were president
00:17:12.760
of the University of Texas something I don't aspire to be they said how would you handle the faculty
00:17:18.260
who signed the letter who said that they support the even violent protests of some of these these
00:17:24.980
activists and I said fire them and their response was well what about tenure and I said you see that's
00:17:31.460
exactly the point it is past time in this country to realize that these academics have taken over our
00:17:37.120
institutions that's bad enough but what makes it worse what completely aggravates the problem
00:17:42.740
once again is cowardice cowardice of university presidents cowardice of boards of regents cowardice
00:17:49.640
of state legislators and governors in so many states who just look the other way and if in addition to
00:17:55.280
project 2025 and the administrative state if we have a chance of taking back this country it isn't just
00:18:01.220
going to be in elections it isn't just going to be in the halls of administrative agencies in DC it is going
00:18:07.460
to start in the halls of our universities where the taxpayers and common sense people say we've had
00:18:13.600
enough you're not doing this on our dime teaching our kids and grandkids to hate this country we love
00:18:18.600
what would you tell the donors a lot of the donors come to me and they say they're going to cut off
00:18:23.660
the donate I know a lot of these guys particularly some of the hedge fund guys we're going to cut off
00:18:27.000
the donations I said that's not good enough you guys have kind of underwritten this for decades and
00:18:31.480
decades and decades and you want to look the other way what would you tell donors they have to do
00:18:35.360
with the money what what would be the Dr. Kevin Roberts plan of actually taking on this problem
00:18:40.680
yeah you're you're very right it's not enough just to turn off the spigot although that's good and that
00:18:45.820
more people are doing that it's that you actually need to pool the money because keep in mind the other
00:18:50.160
side is always better resource than we are and you need to invest it in new institutions you need to
00:18:55.480
invest it in fellowships and centers and places that actually are relatively conservative heritage can help
00:19:02.360
you with that and by saying that Steve I'm not asking for heritage to get that money I want to
00:19:06.780
direct that money to new institutions of higher learning that actually are standing as bulwarks
00:19:12.200
against this nonsense but I want to go one step farther if I may and say just the money isn't
00:19:18.580
enough just turning off the spigot isn't enough even doing what I just said and helping new institutions
00:19:23.260
like the University of Austin Hillsdale College this the number of colleges like the one that I led
00:19:29.160
Wyoming Catholic College who don't take federal student loans and grants we have to do a third
00:19:33.600
thing that a lot of members of the donor class find a little distasteful and that's calling in the
00:19:39.660
chits that they have because they might also be political donors to governors to members of state
00:19:45.160
legislatures and saying I want a majority of the board of regents of that school or that university
00:19:51.620
system to be comfortable taking over that institution just like what DeSantis did with new college
00:19:58.140
if we stop short of that step we're missing the most important lesson about this this march through
00:20:05.440
the institutions by the left and that is we can't compromise with them we have to go to battle and
00:20:10.640
take back these schools governor DeSantis and Rufo on new college brilliant move um today all the
00:20:18.740
news coming out from from the economy slowing down of the the massive overspending cadence and infusion
00:20:24.840
only getting us 1.6 percent growth a total disaster but on top of that reports our defense budget is
00:20:31.120
going to a trillion dollars in this budget cycle and we're still doing 100 billion dollar supplements
00:20:36.120
particularly to Ukraine you've been one of the leaders in the rational response to Ukraine talk to
00:20:41.860
me about your thoughts right now where do we stand you know in short before I get into some details
00:20:47.920
about how bad the situation is we completely to fail we completely continue to fail miserably
00:20:54.420
at prioritizing our interests by that Steve I mean prioritizing our interests abroad Taiwan frankly
00:21:01.860
if they're invaded by the Chinese Communist Party is a much bigger direct threat to us than whatever
00:21:07.180
happens to Ukraine even though I definitely want the Ukrainians to win but secondly priorities
00:21:12.340
internally I mean to to your point about the defense budget going to a trillion dollars it may be that
00:21:17.900
a trillion dollars is the right amount of money it may be that 25 percent less than that is the right
00:21:23.000
amount of money how would we know because the lack of conversation in Congress born out of this
00:21:29.160
political cowardice doesn't allow us to have those conversations and I'll give you one example from a
00:21:35.380
recent trip that I took to Taiwan it's it's so apparent to me and to the the military experts at
00:21:41.300
that the huge investments we're making in the United States military might actually be the wrong ones
00:21:48.380
we clearly need to build more ships something I think you would appreciate but the thing that's
00:21:53.460
happening is that we're not investing in the new weapon systems that actually will be the next round
00:21:59.180
of warfare and and why is that Steve not just because of the political cowardice in Congress about
00:22:04.820
even having this conversation but because the the companies that get enriched by this are blocking
00:22:11.040
the new inference with all of the innovations into the business which leads me to Ukraine what in
00:22:16.640
fact is the strategy for ending the war has President Biden said so has my friend Mike Johnson said so
00:22:23.400
the best answer that I can get from all of these advocates for continuing to spend a ridiculous amount
00:22:29.160
of money in a war that Ukraine does not have a sufficient number of soldiers to win is to get the Russians out
00:22:36.040
that's not going to happen I I lament that I mean for those of you who who are proponents of of spending
00:22:43.340
money on on Ukraine don't shoot the messenger but the reality is they don't have the men we've been
00:22:49.240
terrible at even delivering the munitions with it we suppose and all of this points to the same problem
00:22:54.640
here which is that all of this is a symptom of a republic that may be in decline and if it isn't yet in
00:23:01.600
decline we're close to it because we continue to do ridiculous things that bear very little fruit and
00:23:08.420
in fact a lot of the fruit is very rotten so to sum up here there's only one thing that's going to fix
00:23:13.360
this and that is for conservative members of the House and the Senate to listen to the popular will
00:23:20.940
three quarters of the American people say we've spent too much money on Ukraine and the interesting
00:23:26.860
thing is it's not that they want Ukraine to lose it's that they expect our policymakers to put their
00:23:32.360
interests first say for example by doing what the speaker told us he promised us he would do in January
00:23:38.940
which is not even have a conversation about Ukraine until we had secured the southern border
00:23:46.260
dr. Roberts in conclusion you know a majority the majority did vote against it the 112
00:23:52.160
would you recommend that what we need to do now because i'm talking to guys working on the budget
00:23:57.980
process and there's going to be another 20 30 40 billion dollars means like afghanistan all over again
00:24:03.700
there's going to be another 40 billion dollars minimum in in in this cycle for Ukraine in this year
00:24:09.720
coming year would you say it's time now that we have to enforce like the war powers act does congress have to
00:24:15.400
force the biden regime to come forward and actually lay out the plan to the American people of exactly
00:24:21.860
what we're trying to accomplish there yes and and on that point steve i would make an appeal to
00:24:27.300
conservative friends in both chambers who have voted for the ukraine funding by saying at the very
00:24:33.200
least men and women we have to agree that the constitution is being trampled over by by this president
00:24:39.640
but even beyond that just in terms of military strategy in terms of business and corporate strategy
00:24:45.100
how could you make such a large investment without understanding what the end game is
00:24:49.780
and what i'm hopeful about steve and actually pretty hopeful not just cautiously optimistic
00:24:54.140
is that people realize the game is up that in fact we must have with this level of investment in
00:25:01.040
ukraine close to 200 billion dollars now a we must have a pressure campaign on president biden to tell
00:25:07.160
us what the end game is i know that's where president trump's mind is i suspect that this will be
00:25:11.920
an election year issue that cuts his way very favorably because the majority of the american
00:25:16.940
people are asking that same question the question though this year is will washington listen
00:25:24.120

battleground with stephen k bannon okay uh jeremy carl now joins us uh a extremely controversial book
00:31:39.440
the unprotected class how anti-white racism is tearing america apart jeremy carl now joins us
00:31:47.320
first off why is this book called it's caused such consternation uh jeremy it's uh you know you've been
00:31:53.920
on tucker you've been all over uh the big shows uh the uh pundits let's say there maybe are not maga
00:32:01.620
are tearing their hair out about this what is so controversial about your book well i think steve
00:32:06.620
it's it's the race that dare not speak its name i mean it's it's really putting it's not kind of
00:32:11.200
euphemizing and talking about woke or you know critical race theory but it's really just saying
00:32:16.340
look what we're doing here is anti-white it's racist it needs to stop and there are a lot of
00:32:22.260
people invested in our current racist and discriminatory system who are absolutely wanting
00:32:27.640
us to not have that conversation but i think there's a tremendous desire to have it i mean that
00:32:32.000
the tucker episode you just mentioned went up 36 hours ago it's been viewed over 47 million
00:32:37.260
uh times that stream it's has been his most popular stream he's done since his putin interview
00:32:42.560
so i think there is a tremendous appetite among normal people to actually have this conversation
00:32:49.280
but is that is that just but but but but joy ann reed would tell us that's how many racist
00:32:55.900
there are in america in the world there's a lot of racist there's a lot of hate and and naturally
00:33:00.660
tucker's going to put up jeremy carl jeremy carl's brilliant he's an academic he knows how to hide his
00:33:05.820
racism among about academic research i mean the argument they're going to say i got it there's
00:33:11.600
a lot of racist and they're looking for more jeremy carl's material your response sir well i mean i
00:33:19.260
think joy is pretty self-discrediting i mean i'm sure that she'll take a shot at this at some point
00:33:23.760
i'm actually surprised i haven't seen anything yet from her um but yeah i mean like the the actual
00:33:29.500
reality is of course when you challenge power steve and you know this really well from your own
00:33:33.720
career uh they're going to come after you with everything and so uh i'm not expecting uh mercy
00:33:39.860
from the left i'm not expecting a fair fight and i came in here with guns blazing kind of understanding
00:33:45.380
uh the stakes of this this battle and and i think the the case i make in the unprotected class
00:33:51.720
speaks for itself i've got almost a thousand references and let's let's discuss it you know i'm
00:33:56.580
not afraid of that conversation how can you have and by the way i think to your i think to your
00:34:02.380
credit about the power of the book and i'm saying i agree with your argument i don't but the power of
00:34:05.920
the book is that they're not highlighting it the reason they're not highlighting it they don't want
00:34:10.340
to give it any more oxygen but how can you how can you say that there's anti-white racism i thought
00:34:16.260
i thought you couldn't be you could that if you're white you're essentially are racist and if you're
00:34:23.440
anti-white that's not really racism why do you say the anti-white part of its racism well let me give
00:34:29.600
you a couple different examples because i think implicitly what you're sort of drawing on there is
00:34:33.340
the left-wing notion that racism is prejudice plus power and of course nobody who's not white has power
00:34:39.180
and therefore you can't be racist so i mean a i just kind of disagree with the premise b i disagree
00:34:44.540
with who has power right now but i'd say kind of even more broadly when we look at it i'll just give
00:34:49.920
you two quick examples from this book i'd originally wanted to call this book uh it's okay to be white
00:34:55.180
and i actually got the editorial staff to be comfortable with that but then the sales staff
00:35:00.360
came back and said you know hey we can't sell that book uh with that title to walmart and costco
00:35:06.560
and of course is it not okay to be white i mean it's certainly okay to be asian it's okay to be
00:35:12.020
african-american it's okay to be hispanic but when some people put up signs near university campuses a
00:35:18.060
few years ago which is where i got the title saying it's okay to be white that was seen as a huge
00:35:23.300
racist provocation so i think that says a lot about kind of white privilege the second thing
00:35:28.520
we have that's really empirical that we can look at is the huge flight from whiteness that we've had
00:35:34.560
in kind of how we talk about our census if you can identify yourself when you're applying for a job
00:35:40.480
or a university position or anything else similar as something other than white uh you do that and we
00:35:46.980
have tons of information from the census tons of information from job application data all these
00:35:51.620
things i talk about in the book that show that really like what you want to be right now in the
00:35:56.600
system is anything other than white how did okay so how did this evolve how did we get to this place
00:36:05.300
right there how did we get to a place that you had the flight from being white from even being proud of
00:36:11.780
being white or as people should be proud of being african-american or whatever ethnicity they are
00:36:17.180
whatever religion why how did we get to a place where people by the system are not supposed to be
00:36:23.380
proud of their uh of their their heritage uh their race and their ethnicity well steve i think it's a
00:36:30.820
great question there's a couple things that are at play there i think some of it starts with the
00:36:36.080
follow-ons from the civil rights act and i think i'm not you know one of these people who kind of feels
00:36:40.240
the need to relitigate the civil rights act of 1964 i think it addressed some real problems it was kind
00:36:45.960
of a blunt instrument but i think the way that the administrative state subsequently the deep state
00:36:50.420
seized on that and extended it and then you had dubious supreme court decisions so that really
00:36:56.400
built a kind of infrastructure in which you get things like disparate impact which comes from a
00:37:01.640
supreme court case griggs versus duke power which kind of says basically if you have a hiring process
00:37:07.160
even if there's no discriminatory intent but you kind of wind up with a racially unequal
00:37:12.000
kind of outcome that it can be presumptively illegal you've got to sort of show all these
00:37:18.280
things that you've done or that it's a business necessity to prove that it's it's okay and most
00:37:24.260
companies don't even want to bother and so they just cave in without even being seen the other thing
00:37:30.140
and steve this will be something near and dear to both of our hearts is immigration and so you have
00:37:36.120
in 1965 you have the heart seller immigration act and we went from basically being a predominantly
00:37:42.760
white 85 plus percent uh and uh 10 african american at the time and tiny amounts of anything else
00:37:49.800
country to a country that is now 58 percent white a majority non-white among our children and the just
00:37:58.380
the ethnic politics the ethnic dynamics uh the racial dynamics have just changed and so that has led
00:38:04.500
opportunities for the left to create all sorts of mischief was that the passage of that because
00:38:11.160
i tell people all the time that that bill was one of the most had one of the most profound impacts
00:38:15.940
in this nation's history did that give fuel to did the administrative state use that as fuel for its own
00:38:22.760
growth the way it metastasized to kind of become this unconstitutional fourth branch of government
00:38:29.040
government that we are dedicated uh to take apart absolutely and i know you had kevin robertson from
00:38:35.960
heritage earlier and he's focused on this with project 2025 and quite appropriately i've been a
00:38:40.960
little involved in it that myself um i think the administrative state absolutely seized on this i mean
00:38:47.020
you have a civil rights department of the u.s department of justice and under a president like trump who
00:38:52.420
really works at it really hard to try to bring some balance it's only left-wing right like on a net basis
00:38:58.860
and anytime a democrat's in office it's just extreme far left wing because that's pretty much all of
00:39:04.660
the so-called professional employees who are of course in fact all political activists to a first
00:39:10.620
approximation they're in that and they've taken these things and they run with it and the left is expert
00:39:15.620
at manipulating these rules steve as you know and on the right we are constantly playing catch-up
00:39:21.580
we are constantly not tough enough we're not willing to kind of detonate the nuclear button
00:39:27.200
against these guys and again i hope with project 2025 and some of these other things
00:39:31.800
uh that you certainly pushed over the years that we're getting more serious about that
00:39:35.960
is is because they're going to pick that up that'll be on joy and reed that you know
00:39:42.500
project 2025 is a cover for a bunch of racists like uh jeremy carl a bunch of white nationalists
00:39:47.800
um is in confronting what the some of these problems are what you call tearing apart america
00:39:53.580
is by definition people that do that are they racist
00:39:57.800
you mean the folks on the other side you're talking about who are doing this
00:40:03.240
no no no no no no no no people that would say yes i agree jeremy's right that we got to fight back on
00:40:09.560
this this anti-white racism is tearing the country apart i want to figure out how we can how we can
00:40:14.980
stop this and not tear the country apart wouldn't the left say by definition anybody that buys into
00:40:21.180
that program is by definition to them a racist well i think so steve they will certainly say that but
00:40:27.660
i mean i go back i i remember you gave some uh comments uh i may have been in france somewhere in
00:40:33.300
europe in around 2018 where you basically said look if they're not calling you a racist or a xenophobe
00:40:40.100
or everything else you're just you're not there you're not kind of doing your job you're not being
00:40:44.020
a serious challenge or threat to them so i kind of take that as a badge of honor uh my conscience is
00:40:49.960
clean uh you know i know the motivations i had in writing this and in many ways it is to i mean i
00:40:57.140
didn't write it as a de-radicalizing book i just wrote it to write the truth but my hope is you know
00:41:02.720
in kind of offering realistic political solutions to some of our problems and to say hey you know we
00:41:08.500
don't need to the solution here is not a white ethnostate or white nationalist or to kind of
00:41:13.480
repay their racism with racism on our own terms actually if we if we embrace the sorts of things
00:41:20.400
i'm talking about we are going to reduce racism in society so that's kind of my approach before
00:41:26.720
yeah i said what i said in france i said when they start calling you a racist when they start calling
00:41:31.200
you a xenophobe when they start calling you a nativist remember they've run out of logical
00:41:36.720
arguments to combat you and they've got to go to name calling once they go to name calling you've got
00:41:41.600
them this was hillary clinton in the 26 campaign when she came out and said steve bannon's all right
00:41:45.840
he's always i sat there with the team i said if that's her line of attack given where the country
00:41:51.100
is and what jobs are and what the working class in this country say hey i need a where the
00:41:56.180
manufacturing jobs we fight on economic populism and economic nationalism and that she fights we'll
00:42:01.000
beat her every time and he can this is hopefully one of the lessons what is a protected class and an
00:42:06.200
unprotected class for our audience just the basics what is a protected class
00:42:09.580
in a number because you're saying whites are unprotected what is a protected class the protected
00:42:14.980
class is from civil rights law it's a term and it basically is a group that can have any number of
00:42:21.700
characteristics it could be based on disability it could be based on sex it can be based on race
00:42:26.280
that you can't essentially discriminate against them for hiring or any number of other things on the
00:42:32.580
basis of that now the irony of my book is that legally speaking
00:42:36.540
whites are in fact a protected class because you can't discriminate against whites by race in theory
00:42:43.620
in practice that's just not the way civil rights law has worked at all and one of the really
00:42:48.820
interesting things that's happened uh i think the most effective group or certainly one of them that
00:42:53.580
has come out of the the trump administration uh is america first legal uh stephen miller shop
00:42:58.920
and they have pursued a lot of legal cases coming out of the thing where there's just blatant
00:43:05.100
anti-white discrimination it's not even hiding it's just out there it's illegal but until he came
00:43:10.720
along nobody was really saying hey we're going to prosecute you for this and what's happening is
00:43:16.040
they're filing these legal cases and in the vast majority of the times it seems the the guys are
00:43:21.560
just folding because they know they have no case they know that what they're doing is illegal
00:43:25.580
but until very recently we've never challenged them on that and so part of my book is saying
00:43:31.760
you know we just need to be much more bold about challenging them on the things that they're
00:43:36.680
doing yeah that are blatantly illegal i want to get to some of your solutions in a second and
00:43:43.560
steven miller is one of the smartest guys out there i want to play a clip from red ice team here at the
00:43:48.480
war room we curate not just msc and cnn we also watch a lot of you know what i call ethno-nationalist
00:43:54.760
sharia supremacism so we can understand that we are a lot of black nationalist sites la raza
00:44:00.540
we also look at things like uh it's a red ice tv is over telegram hendrick or heinrich paul green
00:44:07.100
and lana loctef i think their husband and wife but they have this channel uh that we also watch let's
00:44:13.280
play a clip of that and i'm gonna come back to jeremy white culture doesn't exist that's as dumb as
00:44:19.520
saying that white people don't exist as though we're just a hallucination
00:44:23.140
you will never hear such nonsense said about blacks asians jews or literally any non-european group
00:44:33.200
you don't even exist to me when someone says white people don't have a culture they're trying to put
00:44:39.880
you down to make you feel less than or guilty to enforce their own supremacy over you then they will
00:44:45.940
educate you on black culture minorities who make up the world's population attack just about
00:44:53.340
everything for being too white or a white people thing while telling us we don't have a culture
00:44:58.660
back it up let's define white because as we know there's no denying what white is when it's time to
00:45:05.940
single us out for white privilege or whiteness studies no then we all know who a white person is
00:45:11.260
not a social construct but a person of european descent and a shared european culture a white
00:45:17.200
culture exists when i watch some of these uh what i call ethno-nationals whether it's a black was la
00:45:25.480
raza um and particularly uh the red ice tv and others like it um the one thing i say is it is about
00:45:33.040
white or is about not having power right and not not having economic power it seems to me that the
00:45:39.880
the case they make a lot and others make is about it we're at each other's throat because of race
00:45:45.120
but when we really think of it most of the most of the oppressors and according to your theory
00:45:51.900
of white people are whites the people that passed the law back in 1965 the vast majority of the
00:45:59.140
administrative state i would say 90 of the enemies of war room and myself personally are not people are
00:46:06.460
not people of other races uh they're they're they're whites and and and when you look at like
00:46:12.560
red ice tv when you look at the arguments they make and you look at the arguments even some of these
00:46:16.700
other ethno-nationals it's not really about race it's about power and right now it are it is whites in
00:46:23.840
power who are neo-marxist and who don't believe in the family or don't believe in the basics of the
00:46:30.740
judeo-christian uh west or to red isis tv to the christian west or i guess in their case even to
00:46:38.540
the pagan west um but it's not about race it's about it's about power the it's it is the we're at war
00:46:46.080
quite frankly with with neo-marxist whites who want to destroy the united states of america am i
00:46:53.660
looking at that in a wrong context because i watch a lot of this stuff from different ones and i keep
00:46:59.720
saying it's about economic power it's not about race well i think there's there's two different
00:47:05.840
things at play steve and i think it's a very astute observation i mean i think you have two
00:47:10.260
different a few different groups right you have these elite leftist whites and i actually talk
00:47:15.460
quite a lot about them in the book and i think my follow-on book to this is going to look at this
00:47:20.260
group really explicitly because they're a very interesting group there's no other group that i'm aware of
00:47:26.120
in the social science research where you find the following dynamic they have done kind of research
00:47:31.660
um where they kind of say you know how much do you prefer your own group versus other groups and they
00:47:38.260
ask liberals moderates and conservatives of every race uh you know kind of how much in-group preference
00:47:43.680
uh social scientists would say you have and unsurprisingly pretty much everybody has some
00:47:48.180
in-group preference this isn't uh abnormal that you would like people uh who are a little bit more
00:47:53.720
like you in some way as long as it doesn't get out of control you would expect this and unsurprisingly
00:47:58.100
you see this and you see it in every group except for liberal whites and liberal whites have an
00:48:04.320
out-group preference they actively dislike white people they think they're dumber more criminal you
00:48:09.300
kind of go down the line with the survey research so you have this really disturbed post-christian
00:48:16.960
kind of post-rational view uh from some of these whites i think for others of them steve and this
00:48:23.400
is just something i think you were kind of touching on it is about power and um at some level there's
00:48:29.700
no bigger display of power than but but but hang on but hang on but hang on this is the power of your
00:48:35.140
book and i'm glad to hear you're going to do a sequel to focus on this this gets my point to the
00:48:39.160
red ice tv audience over telegram and and others i want you to hit rewind because i think you're to the
00:48:46.400
part of the problem the the the central part is progressive i don't call them liberals are neo
00:48:52.780
marxist whites that hate they've selected a group they hate they happen to hate whites and that's where
00:49:00.960
they put the force of the hit tell me about your research of that because nobody wants to talk about
00:49:05.960
this to me this is the beating heart of the problem and this gets to this gets to a power dynamic
00:49:11.040
that working class whites or even middle class or lower middle class whites are looked at as the
00:49:17.280
enemy by other whites uh absolutely and there's no question that a lot of this is intra-white class
00:49:25.760
dynamics and there's actually a doctoral thesis and i'm just blanking on the guy's name but he finished
00:49:30.000
it at georgia state recently i believe he's now at the manhattan institute and he literally looked at
00:49:34.660
this and i take a lot of the survey data from him now he's not doing the primary survey data here
00:49:40.520
which would be a little more questionable he's taking like general social survey and very kind
00:49:46.460
of unquestionable non-political data where they've asked this so i think it's a concern and it's
00:49:52.360
absolutely right to look at the class-based elements of this because i do think it's significant and i do
00:49:58.880
think we have to talk about elites in a very big way and white elites and that's one of the reasons i want
00:50:03.620
to talk about it at the same time i don't want to totally whitewash the role of minority elites
00:50:08.960
because i think a lot of this which is also about wealth power transfer i kind of argue at the end of
00:50:14.620
my book it's really about coming up with an ideology that can justify resource transfer away from people
00:50:21.620
who might happen to be white who have resources to other groups and so you have to have an ideology
00:50:26.960
of white privilege white supremacy all these other things to justify that
00:50:31.360
look this is amazing we got to get your back to go on more detail because this book but i want

00:52:23.080
i want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts first think
00:52:29.900
back to 9-11 shortly after the government pushed through the patriot act this gave the government power
00:52:34.920
to spy on innocent americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across
00:52:40.860
the internet now jim rickards editor of the independent financial newsletter strategic intelligence
00:52:46.720
and new york times best-selling author is warning about a coming event that could elevate this
00:52:52.360
governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level in fact some of the guests i've had on the
00:52:57.600
war room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move if we say
00:53:03.640
the wrong things on social media donate to the wrong causes buy firearms or even vote maga the
00:53:10.100
government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts i can't say for sure if this will happen
00:53:16.000
but it's an interesting and dire warning fortunately jim rickards an american patriot and friend of mine
00:53:22.240
has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself
00:53:27.860
