STEVE BANNON (HOST): This is about human agency, remember, we talk about this all the time. What's going to happen today is going to happen. The question you have to ask yourself, have you pushed yourself as far as you possibly have pushed? Remember, we talked about commitment and the way the world works. Once you commit, fully commit, things happen. Books come to you, you meet people, you'll just see in your life, commit. This audience, this show, but particularly this audience, on a global basis, has committed.
That's the reason we are where we are today. But, let me tell you, the sun is going to come up tomorrow. We are not defeated. What are you talking about? This is a moment of victory. You've taken something. This is what we saw during the 2020 campaign, and I kept saying it and I was there in '16. The beginnings of it were in the Tea Party, you could see it building, in '16 you can see it building, in '20, it was very different.
There is a great awakening happening in this country, there's no doubt, and globally.
...
This is a moment of victory. What's going to happen is going to happen, and yes, Brian Kennedy is correct, we need to pray, right? We are the instruments of righteousness, right? We have to pray and Mike Pence, hey, look, I've been around and seen all of this with Eastman and been in there and I can tell you, this is not even a close call. It's very, very straightforward.
...
If that doesn't happen, it is still a victory for this audience and we are going to fight and continue fighting. Nobody is going to back off. OK? Nobody is going to back off because it is a victory. The very process that we are here, now, we need to make this happen today and there is no excuse if it doesn't happen.
