STEVE BANNON (HOST): I want to go back to the McCabe, all this that you see going on. Why is McCabe so worried? Why is he saying it's terrifying, were having torturous conversations, yo bro, if you didn't do anything wrong, nothing to worry about. You people absolutely understand your criminality. See, they understand their criminality and they understand also when we get our hands on the apparatus, DOJ, FBI, CIA, DNI, all of it. The deep state and the administrative state, they understand to the core of their being what they've done and what tracks they've left. This is all going to be inside the constitution, be the rule of law. Just like we don't need to steal elections, you steal elections, Democrats are fascists, how do I know they're fascists? Let's look at their track record.
...
The only way they can win is steal. We're not going to allow it to happen and then there's going to be not retribution, as I said in the very open, justice. Just looking for justice, American justice. Using rule of law, the courts, investigative apparatus, all of it. Why are you so concerned, McCabe? Why are you wetting yourself? Why? Ali Velshi, everybody. Democrats are fascist. They're fascist. Look at how they've used the tools of the state, this is why they want the warrantless FISA, you're fascist.
And were taking this apparatus that you've used against the American people, and you know what we’re going to do? We’re going to turn it back on you. Legally. Constitutionally. Inside the rule of law.
...
They understand their reign of terror is coming to an end. So, yes, McCabe, the torturous discussions, let me just help you cut to the chase. Leave the country. Go ahead. Don't have a torturous discussion, tell you, how about this, McCabe, how about starting with everybody, the 51 that said the laptop from hell was Russian disinformation, you lied to the American people and you knew and your buddies knew that it was one hundred percent the Bidens.
...
You lied about it and your 52 buddies. The first ones we’re going to come after are the 52 that sent that. Strip their security clearances for them, put them under investigation, eventually indict them, try them, and imprison them. It's guilty of treason. They knew that was a lie about Russian disinformation, just like you knew.
...
Accountability day starts the afternoon of 20 January 2025. It's going to happen. You have to embrace that. You have to embrace it. Don't be tortured. Don't have torturous conversations, leave the country. Leave. You know what you've done. Run, run now. The long arm of American justice will get you, sir, because we owe this, we have a duty, we have an obligation to this constitutional republic, to get us back on its even keel and one of those things we have to do is we have to is show the world that we can regenerate.
How do we do that? We have to go back to the people that tried to steal this Republic, to try to turn it into a fascist state, to try to turn it into a police state. And the media should understand too, every text message, every email, every lie you told is going to be exposed and yes, you're going to be held accountable. If you didn’t do anything wrong, you shouldn’t be having a tortuous conversation.
...
We are the movement and Donald Trump is our leader to make sure that this never happens again in American history and we have to take it out root and branch. We have to deconstruct the administrative state, we talked about that this morning, what the Supreme Court is doing on the legal side and at the Supreme Court. We’re also going to do that in the Project 2025 and what AFPI is working on and American First Legal and what CRA and others about staffing up now, and, by the way, it's going to be a lot more than 3,000. Three-thousand is going to be political appointees, 1,000 are Senate confirmed, but hey baby, we've got those 8 million consultants. All those consultants' contracts should be terminated immediately, the consultants, and it all should be rejuvenated with MAGA.
