   Ubiquitous to All

   life was padded by all Goldman money. The bank account never left Bel-   
   Air. The Rolex never came off. He wasn’t just out of touch with the   
   working class. He was orbiting them from space, occasionally   
   parachuting down to give a speech about sovereignty and struggle, then   
   retreating back to his fortified compound of fine Scotch. Deceit and   
   duplicity are Bugs and Bannon’s matrix. They’re part of the operating   
   system. I’m going to take a break and finish the article, and then   
   we’re going to move on. But you need to know. You need to know who this   
   fraudster is, who these grifters are, and how they operate. They are   
   the establishment. They are the establishment. And they’ve been   
   undermining President Trump’s administration. Left and right. I’ll be   
   right back.   
      
   Segment 2   
   These people have absolutely nothing in common with you. We talk about   
   the common man. They’re utterly uncommon. They view you as a mark, as   
   targets. They’re demagogues. They’re propagandists. Nobody wanted to   
   stand up to the made people come anymore. What do we do about this?   
   What do we do about this? Finally, I said, I’ll tell you, I’ll do   
   something about it. I’m not going to allow the millions and millions of   
   people. Conservative patriots, Tea Party, Reagan Revolution, Trump   
   Revolution, MAGA, whatever. Fall victim to these grifters. I’m not   
   going to allow it. Now I’ve posted plenty. You’re welcome to read it or   
   not. But you need to be very careful what you’re dealing with here.   
   Very. They’re sinister and they’re out for themselves. I’m going to   
   finish with Bannon when we return. And then we’re going to move on.   
   We’ll be right back.   
      
   Segment 3   
   Let me finish with this article on Bannon. Throw him out with the rest   
   of the garbage. And I’ve. I’ve done my job. I believe my job is to   
   serve my audience here and to alert you and so many Americans who work   
   hard about what what’s going on here? You know, this guy, Qatar Olsen,   
   among other thing, he’s a trust fund baby with the Swanson frozen food   
   family. I don’t hold that against him. I really don’t. But he ought to   
   stop pretending he’s a common man, a blue collar guy when he was born   
   with a silver, no platinum spoon in his mouth. Same with Fatboy here.   
   The Rosie O’Donnell lookalike. And so this gentleman writes Jack   
   Mcgilligan, a writer and researcher who explores culture, society, the   
   impact of technology on daily life. At the wrap. Take the infamous   
   build the Wall scheme, for example, Bannon raised millions of dollars   
   from ordinary Americans, promising every penny would go to the wall.   
   Trump couldn’t finish, he said. And what? And what happened? The money   
   vanished into private pockets, luxury expenses, personal salaries.   
   Bannon was arrested on a Chinese billionaire yacht lounging in luxury   
   while federal agents boarded. He was spared only by a last minute Trump   
   pardon. Yet somehow that only added to his legend. Then came the   
   supergroup Pitch a Global Nationalist Alliance, a Global Nationalist   
   Alliance conferences and hungry meetings in Rome and whispered   
   influence over several European populists. Bannon wasn’t interested in   
   saving Main Street. He was franchising the culture war, exporting MAGA   
   aesthetics to every corner of the globe, not because he believed in the   
   cause, but because there’s always a market for outrage. This is not the   
   story of a man who joined the people. It’s the story of a man who   
   studied them, branded them and built a media empire on their backs. He   
   frames everything as a spiritual battle. America versus the elites. But   
   Bannon is the elite. He just speaks rage fluently. So here’s the   
   question. If a man tells you he’s at war with the empire while still   
   cashing royalty checks from it, do you believe him or do you finally   
   see it for what it is? As the writer, Bennett is not a warrior for the   
   working man. He’s a salesman in battle gear with a podcast mic and a   
   passport full of donor meetings. He doesn’t live among the people, he   
   studies them. Scripts are angry, sells it back to them. He rebranded   
   himself so many times. This reminds me Katara often rebranding himself   
   so many times. He’s rebranded himself so many times that the gentleman   
   writes naval officer, investment banker and Hollywood producer,   
   political strategist. You’d think he was running a hedge fund and   
   identity. And in a way, he is each persona carefully tailored to meet   
   the moment, each pivot engineered for maximum leverage. The flannel,   
   the Catholic mysticism, the bunker aesthetic. It’s all part of the   
   shameless act. Underneath is a machiavellian tactician who understands   
   power not as something to dismantle, but to inhabit. Part P.T. Barnum.   
   Part Pat Buchanan. This is a man who preaches humility while flying.   
   Private Steve Bannon isn’t leading a rebellion. He is selling one. You   
   can look all this stuff up yourself, folks. The charges, the guilty   
   pleas, the pardon, the money, the charity, it’s all there. And what   
   will happen tonight or tomorrow is you will see a. About six or 12   
   articles by the the sort of the the central press with headlines trying   
   to tell you that this is a battle within MAGA. This is a civil war   
   within MAGA. A battle that this is Levine versus this one or Levine.   
   There is none of that. It is none of that. I came to the defense of the   
   president. I came to the defense of the American armed forces. That’s   
   what I do. I came to the defense of freedom for our country and our   
   allies in Israel who are under attack. That’s all I did. And so the   
   flak came in from these guys, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit   
   still like everybody else. When these thugs gather, they gather in a   
   group. That’s what they do. They interview each other. They promote   
   each other. They write about each other because they have to protect   
   what they have. 94% of Republican MAGA supported what Donald Trump did.   
   Not one of these guys did. Not one. They warned you about World War   
   Three. They warned you about the Jews dragging us into another war.   
   They warned you about the price of fuel going to $30 a gallon when it   
   actually fell. Everything they said, all their fear mongering proven   
   wrong. And you know what? I hate to say this. They’re sitting on the   
   end of the edge of their chairs if something happens. They want to   
   attack Trump and me and the people who spoke out. And basically what   
   they’re attacking is the United States military. The United States   
   military. Which they trash all the time. All the time. Here’s the deal.   
   The good guys won. Our armed forces won a great commander in chief, a   
   brilliant one. Our great allies, the Israelis, our great friend, Prime   
   Minister Netanyahu. They won. The allies won. You won. We won. The   
   truth has been exposed. These guys have been exposed. All of them. It’s   
   out there to read. You can read it. Or not. These are facts. Facts.   
   Read it or not. Don’t worry about the names they use slogan ears,   
   isolationists or slogan ears. That’s what their Marxist slogan is.   
   Islamists are slogan. White supremacist slogan is. The Black Panthers   
   are slogan is. That’s the genre in which these guys swim. It’s the   
   sewer. And I regret having to go into the sewer to deal with these   
   guys, but that’s where they are. They’re sewer rats. And you got to go   
   into the sewer to deal with them. The problem is I can climb out. They   
   can’t. That’s their habitat. That’s what they do. They’re not MAGA.   
   They’re not Reagan conservatives. They’re not Trump conservatives.
