00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Steve Bannon has dominated headlines the past few days with

2
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>the flurry of public statements and appearances following the shocking

3
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. At the State Farm

4
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Stadium memorial service for Kirk on September twenty first, Bannon

5
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:18.879
<v Speaker 1>was captured by local Arizona outlets standing in line among

6
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>other major conservative figures, a rare public appearance that quickly

7
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>became a symbolic moment for the movement, according to as Central.

8
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.519
<v Speaker 1>But Bannon did not stop there. In the aftermath of

9
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.560
<v Speaker 1>the event, he went on the attack, venting on his

10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 1>War Room podcast and sparking fresh controversy by calling for

11
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 1>a federal investigation into Utah Governor Spencer Cox, whom he

12
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>blamed for conditions leading to Kerk's killing. Utah Political Watch

13
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>reports Bannon did not hold back, directly accusing both Governor

14
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Cox and the LDS Church of fostering an environment conducive

15
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to political violence, language that escalates tensions between GOP fives

16
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>actions in Utah and the national right. Bannon's incendiary style

17
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>was again on display as he revived his long running

18
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.599
<v Speaker 1>feud with Elon Musk following the latter's visible reunion with

19
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump at the Kirk Memorial. The Independent details how

20
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 1>minutes after Trump and Musk shared cameras and hand chicks

21
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>in Glendale, Bannon used his media platform to demand Musk's

22
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.879
<v Speaker 1>deportation to South Africa, glasting Musk's use of the H

23
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 1>one B visa system and calling Musk's residency totally illegal.

24
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 1>He characterized tech visas as a form of indentured servitude,

25
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>accusing Musk of undermining American workers. This provocation comes shortly

26
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>after new executive orders on foreign hiring, a policy dispute

27
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>at the heart of prior Bannon Musk clashes. Their feud

28
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 1>has not gone unnoticed online, with both Bannon and Musk

29
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:56.959
<v Speaker 1>trading insults across social media and podcast appearances. Musk, who

30
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 1>was previously called Bannon a fat, drunken slab, responded to

31
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>these latest jabs by reiterating his own grievances, while right

32
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>wing X accounts amplified Bannon's calls for an inquiry into

33
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Musk's immigration and business dealings. Meanwhile, Bannon's demand for a

34
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>special council targeting Musk has picked up some traction among

35
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:21.159
<v Speaker 1>MAGA loyalists, but remains unconfirmed as a policy action at

36
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.479
<v Speaker 1>this time. No major reports of new business ventures or

37
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>legal actions against Bannon have surfaced in the last several days,

38
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.159
<v Speaker 1>but his profile has spiked after weeks of relative quiet,

39
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>fueled by Kirk's death, his renewed attacks on tech billionaires,

40
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>and his fiery rhetoric against political opponents, signaling that the

41
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:45.199
<v Speaker 1>former White House strategist is once again intent on shaping

42
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 1>the national conversation as the election season heats up. And

43
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.840
