00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Steve Bannon has been all over the front pages and

2
00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:05.519
<v Speaker 1>inside the DC rumor mill in the past few days,

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>mixing bombast, bombshells and his signature flair for controversy. Just yesterday,

4
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Steve Bannon took to the airwaves calling for a complete

5
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>purge of foreign students and h one B visa holders,

6
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:19.519
<v Speaker 1>insisting that they should be forced to leave the United

7
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.359
<v Speaker 1>States after graduation. According to the Times of India, Bannon

8
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>argued that America is draining global talent like the former

9
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.079
<v Speaker 1>British Empire, and he made it clear on record that

10
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 1>if he had his way, it would be green card

11
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>out exit visa in, with non citizen graduates getting just

12
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.280
<v Speaker 1>thirty days to clear out. Bannon was also busy pushing

13
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>back against a widening fissure in the MAGA movement over

14
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump's cautious approach to possible US military involvement in

15
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>the Israel Iran conflict. According to an interview with Political

16
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Playbook reported by AOL, Bannon described the base as in

17
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a great place, asserting that Trump is looking at every

18
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 1>alternative before considering force, and warning Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahoo

19
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 1>not to hector Trump or define America first for the movement.

20
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.079
<v Speaker 1>He doubled down at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast, blasting

21
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 1>hawkish Republicans, Fox News and nettin Yahoo for trying to

22
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>push the US into war, pledging that MAGA would resist

23
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 1>outside pressure. Few names bubble up in right wing media

24
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 1>and politics like Bammon's right now, especially as House Democrats

25
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.799
<v Speaker 1>heat up the pressure on him over the enduring Jeffrey

26
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Epstein saga. The Economic Times reports that Democrats are threatening

27
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 1>to subpoena Bannon, who allegedly possesses fifteen hours of unreleased

28
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Epstein footage from a shelve documentary project. Bannon has been

29
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>relentless this week on his War Room podcast and in public,

30
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:43.159
<v Speaker 1>demanding the release of all Epstein files, at one point

31
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>calling for a special prosecutor after Attorney General Pam Bondi's

32
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 1>office shut down further disclosures. As noted by AOL, he

33
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>keeps insisting there is more to uncover, pushing a narrative

34
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>of deep state cover up that is stoking continued unrest

35
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>among Trump's base. Meanwhile, Inside Story in multiple social media

36
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 1>accounts have tracked Bannon's efforts over the past weeks to

37
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>rally Trump supporters scarn Rupert Murdoch as a deep state

38
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.439
<v Speaker 1>ally and anticipate that aggressive attacks on Trump will only

39
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 1>galvanize MAGA further. And in another attention grabbing move, the

40
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Free Press ran with Bannon's latest scorching attack on

41
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk, whom he derided as not American. In response

42
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>to Musk's rumored new political party. On Instagram and elsewhere,

43
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>hard MAGA operatives tell the world they are following Bannon's

44
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>exhortation to work for a Trump third term. Even amid

45
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the endlessly churning swirl of speculation about Epstein, internescin right

46
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>wing fights and Bannon's crusades against globalists and visa holders,

47
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 1>the headline remains, Steve Bannon is once again at the

48
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.599

49
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 1>news and making enemies everywhere he goes. And that is
