Steve Bannon and Bill Maher Go Head-to-Head | Real Time (HBO)

these Trump's former White House chief strategist and the co-host of the war room impeachment and war room pandemic podcast Steve Benin has agreed to come by again brave man Steve thank you for doing this thank you for being polite okay Steve so look I'm not gonna lie about it your boy had the best week so far don't you think was the last two weeks I think you see the culmination all right I admitted it don't gloat but I think this shows you the actions he's been taking the entire time is not just the impeachment it's the Middle East peace plan it's what he's doing okay on opioids it's us MCA it's Briggs it one action after another okay but Steve as a student of history which I know you are noting this week bothered you like yesterday when he we find out now that he's you know the thing he said about Comey we'll see what happens if it was Obama people would be in jail VIN demon gets frog-marched out MIT Romney it's a suppressive person this is very von stauffenberg isn't it after the coup failed you don't think it's an enemies list kind of situation that doesn't make you a little nervous you trust him with that power no absolutely in fact here's what I've argued from day one we should have we should have a should have had a longer impeachment we should have had Bolton you should have had mauvais knee you should have had all the OMB memos right now witnesses let him get crossed but we get the whistleblower we get the second whistleblower we get shift as a factor in this let's get it all out if this is not and Trump says it's just not about Trump this is about going forward the office of the President if Bernie gets in and you're as advisor trust me the same things going to happen if you think the neoliberal neocon national security apparatus is it's going to sit there and let Bernie as commander-in-chief make the decisions that he's empowered to as commander-in-chief they're gonna fight him every step of the way and that's why this thing has to be vetted the the abuses of the FBI in the CIA in the 50s and 60s culminated in the church commission in the 70s that's what we need today i think the senate judiciary committee ought to start calling witnesses we gotta get to the bottom of the 40 subpoenas that were out there by the house intel we've got to get you ought to declassify this cross for our hurricane and let have let bollam let Mulvaney let him all talk let's get all the emails out there let's see the whole thing okay when you say crossfire hurricane the liberal audience doesn't have the decoder ring for that one that's that's just what that's that's yeah but no they don't know what they should listen this is about civil liberal case it's about protecting the office of the president your audience should know that and that's why it's got to be federal apparatus okay I can't even but but let's go back to history because he used words like scum horrible people evil people he has a different house style okay that's right but we say excuse me we've seen this house style before when you talk about people like that when you're a cult leader like that who was thousand millions of wait a second he has millions of people who would obviously do anything for him and now we only have loyalists in the government okay so when you talk that's not true well that's what people that's four people that's where people were terminated today many of the people on that list like because they're just not loyalists they're good people no it's not lawless remember a course a commander-in-chief has the rights the whistleblower and other guys like that we're on the list that people that worked around me put together in April of 2013 these detailees a commander-in-chief whether it's Bernie Sanders AOC or Donald Trump have the right to have horse around over that believed and their policies their program is like that loyalty okay these are people who he didn't even know existed they were deep state people deep state meeting a competent people who actually make the government work were not or none not a believer in the deceive let me get your question - yeah because we have so much time okay we've seen this in other countries when you talk about people like they're scum and they're evil we've seen it in Rwanda cockroaches we've seen it in Germany vermin you don't think that when you talk about people like that your side the people who hear those words you don't think eventually it translates into action they see people on Arsenal as less than worth no absolutely not why because we have the precedents I just mentioned why is it not like you don't stock roaches scum don't you know listen you'll see nothing to say I don't see any actions the deplorable Zoar people doing that listen for the last three years Nancy Pelosi in the Democratic Party have sat there and said we have to protect the country a clear and present Donald Trump's a clear and present danger against Russian oligarchs the Democratic Party today is looking to be saved by an oligarch this thing is totally hypocrisy I'm at Bloomberg not only Bloomberg American in moderate public area America does have anyone being a super rich guy when he's gonna put billions of dollars to destroy Donald Trump so they run against him he's not running against him running against what was he doing he's it's a leveraged buyout of the Democratic Party he's already said I will put two billion dollars of capital and back of any candidate to defeat Trump okay one side always has more money than the other this is not about more money it's not about more money because the last time Trump had way less money and he 1f sorta you know why because Trump it's only it's that mentality that has you in this place today in the place today as Trump is about to run the tables you have a totally divided oh I agree with that hello because nobody sat there after 2016 and said why did we lose the same arrogance you saw on the people in Brooklyn that would not send Hurley Clinton to Michigan and to remember Michael Moore always makes the point I think there's 70,000 ticket votes in Michigan that didn't vote for a president the reason is Trump reached out to these working-class people and connected with them okay and included it's the same arrogance you see in Iowa about this app yeah there is that but we mostly lose because a senator in Wyoming represents 290 thousand people and the senator here represents 20 million that's mostly why we lose the electoral college it's called a republic so it's called a public with a foundation okay now is it really democratic sir for one person to read love about you guys you've got a whine about everything whine the game hey the game is hate its match play not metal play know when it match I understand what the real good what know you you know what the rules are you guys wait you're right you're right we should you're right you feel the reefs should have gone to Wisconsin you'd guess it's an electoral college game I've admitted that many times that's not the point you said why don't you win you win because the game is rigged for you I get it absolutely not is absolutely not with this attitude we're joining I know we're gonna keep winning I love this I know you guys how can you sit here how can you sit here and have an oligarch a Republican oligarch that is going to be the salvation of the Democratic Party okay it's outrageous you you guys have secured well Bernie's been screwed by the democratic party he's look in the last week they wouldn't allow the poll to be released where he was up for okay then they do this thing as soon as is it the whole debacle about the county as soon as he starts closing in the Democratic Party says hey let's have a recanvass okay there okay Bernie voters are a do what they did to 16 right had a belly full of the Clintons come either don't vote or come vote for Trump I understand why you're against Bernie yes I mean he is like too much so like a lake burn really you want socialism he's a populist socialist I don't agree I don't agree with his solutions I think a lot of I think it was kind of a big part of politics no hidden oh the biggest part the one the biggest part is identifying the problem I think Bernie's identify ways from pin him who shared some voters because they both kind of go after the same problem you're right okay I'm just saying the Bernie people are but help make Trump president you don't want help making president again even if you don't want then by the Democratic Party I don't want that amount of socialism I agree we need will not agree I think we need some amount of socialism I call it capitalism plus we already have a lot of socialism but we don't have a good form of capital okay but we all a guard's and that are true that Millennials are like Russian serfs they don't own anything and they're not going to own anything we have to we have to redefine that that's the central part that we have to but whose policies are responsible for that this bait and switch you guys pull all the time just let me say [Applause] your Democratic Party is owned by Wall Street in the corporate interest oh god god forbid the corporate rivers ever get their tentacles into the Republican Party that would be a bad day okay but let me ask you this who's the real hits for years who's the obvious problems and real divided who's the real socialist Trump's bailout of the farmers twenty eight billion dollars Obama's bailout of the auto industry was 12 billion why why is it socialism when Obama does it but not when Trump does it and why why is Trump has run up a much bigger debt much bigger deficits than Obama when the tea party was out there what happened at that why I think I think that the solution to the rising debt is a white president excuse me I think the solution to the rising debt is a white president because it was a terrible is it was a terrible problem when Obama was president now it is no problem Kratts kids to get interested in deficits or debt if you look at you look at the monitor the modern monetary theory that underpins Warren underplays Bernie underpins a o-62 I'm looking at quantity doing worse at it Trump's doing worse at it but here's the right where's the growth over time is going to is going to bring down the deficit for these tax cuts and pay for these thanks God but you can't always try to try to change the topic let's get down to the basics you talk Trump all these tricks like to always turn right yes you did know a lot you know you know time in the word populist ah you know people who were against elites like you look at the democratic form of the popular a light remark look what they've done to the populous state let me ask you this question yes sir I read today some of the things that he said about you over the years just scathing I mean like you know you the the word dog figures into a lot of things and we see this look I come from an Irish Catholic family with five kids I've been called a lot worse around the dinner table okay as I say that's it's the signal in the north that's all the noise that is a signal look at the signal or what he's done he says that whatever because he does this constantly to people he just says the worst things about him they come back and eat his dog bowl no why do they draws because he's a transformative figure in his story is that he is that we're going right into dictatorship it's a very true it's like the progressive left and 18:1 a big because you went door to door they understand that Donald Trump between changing the federal judiciary deconstructing the administrative state is going to be in their personal lives ten twenty and thirty years from now is that is why the left that is why the left goes door to door to beat him and he's achieving his objectives he said now comes the hour of action in his inaugural address and you see the actions coming together and that's why we're sitting in February of 2020 he's United his party he's got the economy on his side and if his best week ever that's what I said okay I wish we had someone on our side as able as you Steve it's great to see you thank you for going this Steve Madden you can't get him down you

He was really promoting far left talking points.

[u/AGG1987]

Can we stop touting Bannon, please? He’s not the voice of reason.

[u/[deleted]]

Time mark please, I can only listen to him for so long.

[u/LocallySourcedWeirdo]

This guy is so arrogant that he thinks we can't detect his attempt at brainwashing.

He kept trying to discredit the Democrats by claiming that the DNC had some kind of control over the CNN/Des Moines register poll and "suppressed it" to...screw Sanders somehow? There was no logic behind it. He just knew this was a sore spot for Berners, and would associate the Democrats and the DNC with nebulous corruption in voters' minds.

He also kept pivoting to imaginary scenarios of an AOC presidency. Why? Maher would ask a question about Trump corruption, and Bannon would start mentioning AOC because in his addled brain, he can train voters to associate Democrats with president AOC. A vote for a Democrat is basically leading to president AOC.

That said, his strategies clearly work because he's trained Republican mouthpieces, and the president to become masters of the Gish Gallop and Whataboutism.

is maher advising sanders?
