The greatest weapon of the 21st Century,,, develop a mind manipulating, psychological profile gathering and targeting code.The internet / social media offered the ability to target millions of people with hours of imprint sessions using an election as a springboard into their minds... blind to facts and reason, unconditional loyalty, commonly referred to as Trump's Base. 20 years ago would you ever thought a billion people on this planet would have a wireless connected touchscreen supercomputer the size of a Pop-Tart stuck to their face, walking into traffic, crashing cars into each other, such great technological advances we have achieved. Putin and Steve Bannon had the evil forethought 10 years ago to develop this weapon. Yeah I know,,,mass internet brainwashing technology,,, that's so SI-FI, kind of like landing a booster rocket falling from space, upright on a barge in the ocean or a pad where it blasted off. Now if only I could pry my folks away from Fox News for a minute and not talk about Crooked Hillary,"still reverberating in their heads". At least it's not 100% effective but added to propaganda induced tribalism, political extortion and bribery, effective enough to achieve the unthinkable. Did I hear Putin utter," Checkmate!" Learn how Putin & Steve Bannon brainwashed 50 million Americans using the 2016 election as a springboard into their minds in the new book " Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America ".

[@matthiashenning5949]

for starters : the first and main complex of questions would have to be about SB's motivations , there's a whole bunch possibly evolving from that . The second complex would be about his dishonest donor - bashing regarding everybody else -- as he himself is beholden to his own donors - esp. the Mercers . The third complex would be about the policy implications - like abolishing environmental protections ( partly even from the Nixon era ) that will destroy precious nature and harm American citicens . The fourth complex would be about the stunning congruence of Russian geo - strategic interests and Pino's actions . Furthermore SB's promotion of right - wing / protofascist groups in Europe that all receive funding from stolen Russian tax payer money . How could he claim this to be unrelated - when there never is anything 'by accident' in politics . Nail him on his praise of Nazi - Putin as a ( in S.B.'s words ) saviour of European nationalism . The last complex would have to go into SB's long term policy goals . So , not being a fulltime - KZbinr and not owing anything to anybody here ( just like everybody else ) these five complexes ( and I could name more ) would easily produce 10s of questions and I think it would have been a far more interesting affair that way .

Bannon is so bright, informed, intuitive about the nation, that's easy to overlook he's just wrong. Whatever your political leanings, both Palin and Trump were patently unfit. Their ignorance was breathtaking. And that's who Bannon advances. He goes on to say the healthy attendance of the respective right and left organizations, including turnout, is evidence of a healthy democracy. That's insane. They're gearing for battle. The country has never been more divided. And Bannon is the architect of that. Instead of working to shape our democracy, he birthed the MTGs, Gaetz, Cruz, Jordan etc etc, complete MAGA gas lighting fools. Democracy is literally on its deathbed, and this fool is cheering it's death.

[@DynaCatlovesme]

@DJ NV That's the narrative Bannon's selling. There's no truth to it. What actually happens it that crops rot in the fields, prices for produce rises, farmers go bankrupt and are taken over on the cheap by mega-corps. Automation replaces workers not immigrants. Pay only goes up when the demand for goods goes up and demand goes up as population goes up. Reducing population growth by reducing immigration shrinks demand, which reduces the number and value of jobs.

[@DynaCatlovesme]

@DJ NV All that is the exact reverse of anything Bannon is saying. And you can't implement "Where we cannot fill the jobs with citizens, we simply allow the LEGAL immigrants to keep those jobs..." in a free country.

Steve Bannon comes off here as almost based, right up until the first ten minutes, when he references the corporate bailouts of the previous administrations, and you know that he helped decide to do the same fucking bailout to the tune of over 10 trillion dollars in the four years of the Trump administration, which shows that everything he just said, he doesn't believe in. Then he goes on to prove that the based opinions he shared, are not what he believes in. By 21 minutes he is spouting typical capitalist party lies.

Great point on TRADE, people don't understand how the cost of production in USA is TOO HIGH to compete. So, the workers are screwed and haven't had a decent RAISE IN 40 YEARS.

It's 2024 and you definitely got a raise. You signed a contract and they did too--with the union. Biden went to a Scranton, PA, unionist shop, and asked what it would take to fix this. Retraining people to build Electric Vehicles is being taught (free), and the crime rate went down, as did your taxes and interest fees. The plants are undergoing revivals in up--to--date equipment. The cars will be made in America, all parts produced in America, and sold in America. Oh, and in case you had a student loan or Pell Grant, your debt is likely forgiven. Anyone making $60,000 or less per year won't owe taxes, but the top 1%. did have their taxes raised. He seems hell-bent on making American cars that everyone can eventually afford. Oh, he's working (or has finished) the drinking water in Michigan, just went to Israel to stop the fighting (may be a two state solution), the stock market keeps hitting record highs, inflation is going down, etc.

I see a Steve Bannon interview, I click on it. Never been disappointed.

[@Lillipod1]

He likes to brag so he dishes it all the time

[@Booyaka9000]

@Papa Jose his only fans are total losers, Jose. How ironic...

[@merrilouneigenfind104]

Of course you do. Did he explain white nationalism and working for a man who bragged about going backstage at a teenage beauty pageant to gawk at half dressed girls?

[@mattjohnston5807]

@@Booyaka9000 Like the leader of the Free world? Yeah, bunch of losers huh?😂

Thank you Steve Bannon! You're a great story teller! You're precise and intelligent as well as eloquent!

[@mangolassi_.]

@James Grimaldi Dude, he's a fraud. Look up what he's accused of. Let him rot in jail.

[@klatsch1078]

Story teller? Do you mean ghost stories and fairy tales? Yes, that is him! Terrifying how far you crank have strayed from reality, but the Trump voters' IQ says enough.

[@mangolassi_.]

@Free Spirit Uhm how do you call somebody who raises money for a public cause, promisses the donors to use 100% of it for that cause and then instead transfers the money to their private accounts via "salaries" and is therefore charged with fraud?

I want to thank Front Line KZbin channel im a new Subscriber. This interview is fantastic coverage 😊

[@truth6242]

I've never watched or listened to this guy before and I am shocked at what he is saying. Very well said. Wow.

[@barbaraannen8126]

Steve, your military education shows. You possess the clarity of mind needed to get things done yet you don't hate your enemies.

[@genevievetaillex]

You make me vomit

[@janetwhite7786]

Barbara Annen - He rocks, huh? If we had to lose Andrew, at least we still had Bannon.

[@WitchyWagonReal]

🤔 Vomit? Why does someone make you “vomit” for having an opinion or perspective? So... you dislike Steve Bannon, hmm? Did you watch the interview and listen to what he said? ........rhetorical questions, all. 😆

[@raylars6986]

Did not know Bannon was this Guy , impressive

[@jetfusion1532]

He almost destroyed America a few days ago by using Trump as a puppet

[@user-ql5yb2hs2p]

If he was so good then why can’t he use his good to influence…instead everything bad is truth about him!
