00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Steve Bannon is back in the headlines this week, and

2
00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>as ever, the story swirling around him blend political intrigue,

3
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>legal drama, and a dash of spectacle. Just days ago,

4
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Bannon claimed on his war Room podcast and to The

5
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:18.679
<v Speaker 1>Washington Post that he witnessed tech titan Elon Musk physically

6
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>attack Treasury Secretary Scott Besson inside the White House this

7
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:26.079
<v Speaker 1>past spring, after the two sparred in front of President

8
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 1>Trump over IRS reform. Bannon quipped that Musk rammed Bessent

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 1>like a rugby player, a startling tableau for those who

10
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>thought Washington drama was strictly verbal. According to IMDb, this

11
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>sensational claim ricocheted through social media and prompted days of

12
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:48.200
<v Speaker 1>online debate, with Bannon's loyalists amplifying the story, while critics

13
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.039
<v Speaker 1>raised doubts about the details and timing, noting Bannon's pension

14
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>for headline hyphen grabbing anecdotes. While Bannon's courtroom battles continue

15
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 1>to shadow him, CTV News reported that a federal judge

16
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>recently ordered him the report to prison for defying a

17
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.719
<v Speaker 1>subpoena link to the January sixth Committee. The new supercharged

18
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>speculation about his future and legal jeopardy, but did not

19
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>shake his public resolve. On his podcast and other right

20
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>wing media appearances, Bannon has used his looming incarceration as

21
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>a rallying cry, framing himself as a martyr of political

22
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>persecution and fueling rumors now picked up by AOL, that

23
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 1>he is plotting a presidential run for twenty twenty eight.

24
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>According to sources cited by AOL, his inner circle is

25
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 1>seriously eyeing a campaign, suggesting the prospect is more than

26
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>just idle talk. Bannon's influence within the MAGA orbit remains potent,

27
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.719
<v Speaker 1>evidenced by his status as a special guest at upcoming

28
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>events organized by the New York Young Republican Club, where

29
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 1>his confirmed appearance for a splashy pre Labor Day gala

30
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>keeps him at the epicenter of right leaning activism. Social

31
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.799
<v Speaker 1>media has buzzed about the event, with club insiders hyping

32
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Bannon as the man of the hour and attendees openly

33
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 1>speculating about his next move on the foreign policy front.

34
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.879
<v Speaker 1>All All Israel News highlighted Bannon's recent criticism of Israel's leadership,

35
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 1>reflecting a shift among Trump world veterans regarding US support

36
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>for Israel amidst the Gaza conflict. This stance marks a

37
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 1>notable departure from Bannon's earlier hawkish alignment and is stirring

38
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 1>debate among young Republican activists. Finally, cultural commentary this week

39
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.840
