@@estelledavis4542 Now I see it: "Bannon's candid interview was conducted with FRONTLINE on September 19, 2019." I am almost certain that this vital piece of information was not available when I wrote the comment, but I could be wrong.
Kudos to Frontline for a true interview, with good enough questions to move to topics to discuss, but to be an INTERVIEWER rather than an activist. We've forgotten what true journalism is in this country. Nice to have this example.
@@321snoot I think it was rather earned by Fox. YES, Fox may be have it's activists as well, but at least Fox is not candid about it. Fox also has Chris Wallace and Brett Beyer. The others have none, except some dependent puppets who speak as their puppeteer command them.
Big kudos to PBS for uploading all these interviews uncut. Will be a veritable goldmine for any political science or history student for decades to come. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. You’ve set the bar really high. Now let’s see if other media organisations start doing the same.
FRONTLINE rocks. The last bastion of actual journalism remaining in traditional media. Bannon rocks. The last adult in the room. These uncut interviews would be game-changers IF the sheeples would take an hour to listen.
I didn’t know Bannon till recently and was already impressed but now I’m also impressed that PBS recorded this brilliant interview. If I was Trump, I would bring him back! I don’t think Trump would have been elected without this brilliant masterful man! I love this man!
And give Bannon two hours; he'll tell you why HE is the smartest man in the room. Also, he's anticipated and solved every world crisis. Give him any platform, he'll assure you he's right. Always.
Can we get an interview with Bannon after the Pandemic, election, and Jan 6th. I would love to hear his continued perspective in these Frontline interviews.
Excellent interview, I love Frontline, and I'm thrilled they interviewed Bannon. His grasp on the big picture of whats going on in America is just top-notch. A brilliant guy and a true American patriot.
Best political consultant I have ever heard and wants the best for our Country. I hope you are working on 2020 for Our President, Steve. Thank you for all you do!
THIS is how interviews are supposed to be, ask your questions and let the person explain their case, leave your bias and activism at the door. Unfortunately these days many journalists have forgotten this and they go into interviews with an agenda of what they want to hear and steer the interviews in their viewers “interests”.
Arguably one of, if not the shrewdest person I have seen on any media today and if I were a young man I would do all I could to intern/ work for Mr. Bannon. A smart, smart man
I HATE both political parties in DC but this man understands the plight of the working class in America today....may Mr. Bannon's influence in politics continue to benefit real Americans like me. Thank you sir!
This is a professional interviewer. This is the “ART” of conversation. Best 2 hours I spent watching this body of information since I can remember. I’m a 51 hard working woman. I educate myself. Genuine intelligent information is hard to come by. Very refreshing. What a well spoken calm intellect. Thank you Steve for your dedication, hard work and honesty. For the record,...My opinion about Obama was that for all his well spoken cocky funny condescending politeness....at the end of the day when a person gets robbed/mugged do you think you feel less violated if the criminal is a polite sweet talker? Please... he was a snake charmer selling a poison snake oil. He lied and sold us out. People need to do their homework.
jctai100 Obama’s “Degree” was in the Billion$ as well as treasonous to our Country. He was such an obvious liar. But So many people fell for his Charm...guess some like to be sweet talked, not me I prefer brutal honesty.
Who knew about him ..suddenly..this guy with that impressive positive media presence, appear as a prophet of economic....ended up being a Muslim, anti America conman
You know, I don’t agree with Steve Bannon on a lot of things. But I really enjoy hearing what he has to say and watching him give more context about what he believes in. And that’s how it should be. No one said we all have to agree and believe in the same things. But there should always be an open dialogue. You might not change how you feel, but at least you’ll have a better grasp of where the other side is conning from...
Right. As someone who was once a never trumper independent in 2016, but has watched the insanity unfold over the last decade, I’ve essentially fallen into the reluctant Trumper independent camp. I still don’t like the person, but i voted for the rightwing populism behind it. More to the point, as Bannon said in the first long-form frontline “Great Divide” interview, “neither establishment wing of the party was ever the true problem, although they are in fact a part of the managed decline of the nation… the true enemy is the legacy media.” Now, I’m sure some will interpret that as somesort of stalking horse for authoritarian journalist round up. I think that’s a load of nonsense. What I think is true is that legacy media, far beyond simply having a political bias, is essentially a propaganda arm for establishment parties. We saw this for 8 years with W, and we’ve seen it consistently for the Democrats since Obama, and it’s been on hyperspeed insanity since 2016. And people notice it. And they are tired of it.
@ I couldn’t have said it better myself. I know I can speak for a lot of people when I say they are just tired of the mainstream media hypocrisy that goes on in this country. Like you said, it’s not just that “news networks” are exhibiting political biases. They’ve become actual propaganda for whichever party they align with. I think a lot of people voted for Trump because they were tired of hearing how arrogant and condescending Democrats have become. It’s become the party of “if you don’t agree then you’re wrong, and probably racist too.” They have become so quick to label someone for not having the same views. People see this and are tired of being put down by liberals who don’t live in the same reality as a lot of people in middle America…
Every time I listen to Bannon I am more impressed , learn so much of the 'ins and outs', he gives me a better understanding of what's going on from a big picture perspective. I like the way he sums it up, right wing populism is about decreasing the administrative state (to benefit the middle class) , true ownership and wealth creation for them, and left-wing populism is about increasing the administrative State, Big Govt welfare socialist system that gives more power to the State and less power to the little guy (the serfs). . Populist Nationalism vs Populist Socialism.
First off, in modern USA there are no serfs. The little guy, as you call them, is an underpaid worker struggling to make a living. Decrease the powers of the administrative state; sure lets let more Boeing Max 7's crash and kill people. As long as Boeing is making a fortune and the shareholders are happy, who cares. Not you. Reducing regulations and the regulatory powers of the govt. will only benefit the ruling class and there political yes men. There is no reason why Populist Socialism can't work to benefit all the people. If you can dream it you can have it. Look what mankind had done when large groups of people work together.
@@mikewebber1085 I agree with you more than the first fellow, but populism is essentially telling people what they want to hear without regard to actual truth; always a road to disaster.
MW Someone was recently sentenced to 16 years in jail for burning a rag, because the rag was a rainbow flag. That is leftist government: arbitrary, trendy, conformist, and sadistic.
@@sanniepstein4835 Ames, Iowa, police arrested Martinez in the early hours of June 11, after police said he had caused a disturbance at a local bar and threatened to burn down the establishment, before returning with an LGBT rainbow flag he stole from the Ames United Church of Christ, and setting fire to it outside the bar. Martinez admitted to his crimes in an interview with KCCI, saying he was motivated by an antipathy towards homosexuality and that he had “burned down their pride, plain and simple.” Despite his on-screen confession, Martinez pleaded not guilty to three charges, the Story County Attorney’s Office told Snopes: Third-degree arson, an aggravated misdemeanor which typically carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison; third-degree harassment, a simple misdemeanor; and reckless use of fire or explosives, a serious misdemeanor that typically carries a maximum prison sentence of one year. Martinez had two previous felony convictions, meaning that under Iowa law, he was sentenced as an “habitual offender.” It was this legal provision, triggered by the hate crime charge, that multiplied his prison sentence to 15 years.

I really didn't expect Bannon to be such an open and honest person.....especially when most of what I've heard is from the media. I actually agree with Bannon on a lot of thing, which i didn't expect.
Me as well. I’m a left leaning populist and all I heard was that he was a racist. I see now he’s a smart guy with interesting ideas. Populists on both sides need to come together a work together, make compromises but also work with each groups hard line issues
My dad also worked 40 yrs at the phone company as a lineman i did it for three years this guy is sharp i mean lazer sharp i relate to this mans ideas and perspective he knows the gig is up and hes killing it everything he says is based on facts and hes got solutions if he ever runs hes got my vote ...
@@sandrajohnson6005 hé would be a great choice i absolutely agree with you, im all for a conservative philosophy and pragmatic problem solving but poeple cant get past the rhetoric ... but great choice nonetheless
I worked 35 years in Telecommunication industry too for 5 different companies. I don’t ever expect job for life, couldn’t handle it. I like to change company now and again, need new meet new people, new technology, new products.
Great interviewer...so well done ....nice to listen to the guest ....instead of the person interviewing opinions. Professionally done for a change. Thank you so much.
I’ve watched dozens of hours of Bannon on RUclips at this point and I have not at all found the alt-right cheerleader that he is portrayed in the media (and by Ben Shapiro). He has become a critical source for how I form my view of current events.
Great comment Michael. They way he is portrayed is absolutely in contrast to his reality. I honestly don’t know how he, Trump, and similar people have been so successfully painted as complete racists. It takes a certain kind of illogic to believe that.
Love the way this man presents .....excellent and always understandable...Calm and collected ...makes sense...never looses his cool...Loved the way he handled Bill Maher ....how can you argue with the truth....Appreciate how you look at things from all points of view. Giving credit when it is due is a great plus to your credibility Steve. Your a rebel with a cause.
If you like this, you may enjoy the debates out of the UK. Actual intellectuals debate consequential issues from antiquity to the present. They have time limits and take questions from the audience in real time. I think the best are from "Intelligence Squared" and "Oxford Circle." They're serious philosophers and intellectuals, authors in search of truth. Excellent.
I voted Dem until 2017. Then I started looking at all the data surrounding immigration and realized that the populist nationalists were generally correct on this issue. I of course knew who Bannon was but never actually took the time to give him a real listen. He's bright, saavy and likable.
Same here. The MSM has done an incredible job at hiding the truth by accusing people of certain things in order to taint their message. It's the modern day equivalent of yelling "witch". No matter what you say after that people think you're a witch and ignore what you have to say, or look at it through that lense.
Really? It seems to me that the consensus view among economists is that immigration is a net positive. Falling wages for some low education Americans in some sectors sure, but even that is temporary.
You’re right except that there are limits to a welfare state, which we’re increasingly moving towards. Free immigration would break the system and hurt the taxpayers who have been supporting it. Personally I think we should phase out government programs and raise immigration caps proportionately.
@@ace625 That’s not really true. Mass immigration drives American wages down and raises American unemployment. Furthermore, there’s more important things than the economy such as heritage, culture and social cohesion.
Bannon is the best saleman I've ever heard. I've spent 30 years in sales and I've never heard such a pitch before; but i know bullshit when i hear it but at the same time I respect it. I tip my hat but I'll stay on my side of the line.
Beyond amazing . Beyond illuminating. Steve Bannon's smart as a whip and lives in the real world. Practical. Succinct. Honest. He's OK with what he can and can't get.
Yes but this interview is old. What is PBS doing now? That's an honest question. I quit watching legacy media. During the last presidential election. When I saw how bias and anti American they all are. And I was disgusted by their coverage of the "mostly peaceful" riots.
This is the stuff you will never hear from the mainstream. Good work PBS. I think a lot of people would view this administration much differently if they had this information.
Steve Banon is one of the most important people in the president Donald Trump and his family too support them in the President Donald Trump, s ELECTION and how they have been involved with the whole process of making the Country and the world a better place to live
I've always liked Steve Bannon but grew a new admiration for him once Trump won president in 2016. Best thing that could ever happen to US is Steve's take on things.
Super interview!!! One to be watched!!! Truly great. And after elections in January it's prophetic! Bannon is amazing. God bless him for his clear eyed view.
Steve Bannon sure knows his stuff. He didn't stick around and turn into a DC Leach, he went back to what he likes to do. You certainly have to admire him for doing that.....
i have enormous respect for this man bannon.he has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the inner workings of realpolitic whereas roger stone knows most about the underworld of american politics"Haedes" ie the underbelly.both are compulsive listening.bannon is a patriot and that always shines through.extraordinary sensitized political brain with all his antennae on high alert.not the kind of guy you listen to if youre an insomniac and certainly shouldnt be listened to within three to four hours of your normal bedtime as you will not sleep.
It’s happened even in England - now Labour Party folks are openly talking about “Progressive Patriotism” - left wing populism. Wouldn’t have happened without Bannon and Trump.
@@pimtool9351 You and the dude who wrote the main comment in this thread have to understand that there is a difference between "populism" and "nationalism/patriotism". "Nationalism" is based on tribalism so, You flock to your own kind/tribe/nation. "Populism" is an ideology based on rights and power of the people/masses. These people can be of various tribes and cultures. What unites people in "populism" is their economic standing, not their tribe/culture. That's the difference. I am a populist but I am not a nationalist.
Excellent interview. For a long time now I have given up on expecting PBS to provide real news information with out bias activism for the left. To my surprise this was a very informative interview and the reporter didn't try to play games. Of course, Steve Bannon is one smart and articulate figure. And a true patriot.
if media tells you to write somebody off, you can bet your life on it that the exact opposite is true and that you must write media off. same principle goes for Trump also. Establishment media will never stop lying about people who threaten their absolute power
Gee Mr. Seltz .. A capital t 'tad' smarter .?. Curious to know how you developed TDS initially .?. If you educate yourself as to the FACTS before forming outrageous opinions based on another's TRUTHS , you may avoid posting public statements that exemplify your ignorance and/or stupidity .!.

How come some repub's don't like Steve Bannon he is a TRUMP man through and through love listening to his talks this guy loves his country , the Repub party need more of these guys on there side go STEVE . TRUMP 2020 Aussie Dave
In the Australia media, just as terrible as US media, all we heard about Steve Bannon was bad stuff, so, sadly, and ignorantly of me, I had swallowed their BS. So glad I watched these 2 extensive interview for a fresh perspective on a brilliant, imperfect sure, but brilliant man with a really deep and complete understanding on everything that was going on. Its like juggling 35 balls - almost impossible - just thinking about what he was trying to manage in those times, gives me palpitations...
Quanative easing in the nut shell. Corporations need to take over the middle class. They perchase all the competition in their relative industry including every media company and tele communications company. The curve of supply and demand goes against this Socialist big government big Corporation theory because of the bust and boom of cyclical economics. So when a natural down turn in one industry bleeds into the next it cannot be contained without massive injections of cash. The federal government cannot continously inject capital into private corporations, so they use the Federal Reserve too. Digitally printing money to purchase Government bonds at first to offset the Capital that once was the Banks and Insurance companies domain. But do to capitol restraints of over lending to huge Corporations has fallen to the Federal Reserve whom is now not only digitaly printing trillions of dollars to buy Government bonds. But now buying for the first time in U. S. and World History they are buying Corporate bonds. We are on the presipous of the largest World Economic collapse that has ever been seen. Billionaires will become the middle class and millionaires will be the working class scenario. All others will be on sustanence payments and food lines.
I think some post have been removed. I responded to a person named Mojave... But there's no post from him that I responded to. I've also seen post with my name on it but it wasn't something I posted.
@@buddygraham1486 I've since found out MMT is a theory that the federal govt can print as much money as they want regardless of inflationary pressures that brings on. What a mess.
@@robertpace901 Not quite, MMT states that you can print as much as you want as long as you control over inflationary pressures. There are several parameters used to control inflationary pressures, which include interest rates, taxes, and bond issuance. The problem with MMT is that it has not been demonstrated to work over a long period of time. Also, governments that have simply printed money in the past (e.g. Zimbabwe, Nicaragua, and Venezuela) had poor control over inflation, which resulted in runaway inflation. So there is really no example of a country that has truly used MMT as fiscal policy for long term with any demonstration of success.

My dad also worked 40 yrs at the phone company as a lineman i did it for three years this guy is sharp i mean lazer sharp i relate to this mans ideas and perspective he knows the gig is up and hes killing it everything he says is based on facts and hes got solutions if he ever runs hes got my vote ...
Makes me want to start asking Bannon if he would consider running for office in 2024
@@sandrajohnson6005 hé would be a great choice i absolutely agree with you, im all for a conservative philosophy and pragmatic problem solving but poeple cant get past the rhetoric ... but great choice nonetheless
@@sandrajohnson6005 Eric Trump is also feeling his way in slowly you can tell he likes the fight also...
I worked 35 years in Telecommunication industry too for 5 different companies. I don’t ever expect job for life, couldn’t handle it. I like to change company now and again, need new meet new people, new technology, new products.
He 's got my vote too..
Great interviewer...so well done ....nice to listen to the guest ....instead of the person interviewing opinions. Professionally done for a change. Thank you so much.
Great Bannon interview thanks P.B.S.
I watched part one straight through! Really enjoyed it. He brings tremendous insight to the Presidents perspective among others.
I’ve watched dozens of hours of Bannon on RUclips at this point and I have not at all found the alt-right cheerleader that he is portrayed in the media (and by Ben Shapiro). He has become a critical source for how I form my view of current events.
In the 1st interview he said he was alt-right before it was taken over by racists and the such
@@RealAmericanStar yeah back when alt right literally meant "the alternative right" and not far right
He's an expert at everything, not.
Great comment Michael. They way he is portrayed is absolutely in contrast to his reality. I honestly don’t know how he, Trump, and similar people have been so successfully painted as complete racists. It takes a certain kind of illogic to believe that.
Kenbomp you built a nice straw man there.
Love the way this man presents .....excellent and always understandable...Calm and collected ...makes sense...never looses his cool...Loved the way he handled Bill Maher ....how can you argue with the truth....Appreciate how you look at things from all points of view. Giving credit when it is due is a great plus to your credibility Steve. Your a rebel with a cause.
Every time i watch an interview with Steve Bannon is just amazing and educational! Great guy, we need more like him!
I listen to his podcast everyday. He is so inspiring.
He’s right
Steven K Bannon is old school a True American. Make and Keep America FIRST
If you like this, you may enjoy the debates out of the UK. Actual intellectuals debate consequential issues from antiquity to the present. They have time limits and take questions from the audience in real time. I think the best are from "Intelligence Squared" and "Oxford Circle." They're serious philosophers and intellectuals, authors in search of truth. Excellent.
Steve Bannon is a great American Hero. We love and pray for Steve Bannon Health and wellness. Many thanks to Steve Bannon
Very clear and to the point, thank you Steve...
Bannon seems genuine and is great at helping us understand what’s happening in gov. Thanks for the interviews. Maybe there is hope in media.
I voted Dem until 2017. Then I started looking at all the data surrounding immigration and realized that the populist nationalists were generally correct on this issue. I of course knew who Bannon was but never actually took the time to give him a real listen. He's bright, saavy and likable.
Same here. The MSM has done an incredible job at hiding the truth by accusing people of certain things in order to taint their message. It's the modern day equivalent of yelling "witch". No matter what you say after that people think you're a witch and ignore what you have to say, or look at it through that lense.
Except on the economics and crime.
Really? It seems to me that the consensus view among economists is that immigration is a net positive. Falling wages for some low education Americans in some sectors sure, but even that is temporary.
You’re right except that there are limits to a welfare state, which we’re increasingly moving towards. Free immigration would break the system and hurt the taxpayers who have been supporting it. Personally I think we should phase out government programs and raise immigration caps proportionately.
@@ace625 That’s not really true. Mass immigration drives American wages down and raises American unemployment. Furthermore, there’s more important things than the economy such as heritage, culture and social cohesion.
One of the greatest thinkers of our time. Instead of criticizing and being all talk, he’s applying his knowledge and saving America.
Steve Bannon your a brilliant man!!!!🙏
Best interview ever by PBS! How refreshing to not sense an agenda attached! Thank you so much!
Bannon made a deal that they would air the entire interviews uncut that's why they are so good.
Bannon is one of the most brilliant strategists and thinkers in the last 200 years
I totally enjoyed both interview's of Syeve Bannon, what an intelligent man. thank you !
One of the most important interviews in modern history
Right. I did not understand where the strategy of "alternate facts" came from previously.
Thanks a lot Mr.Steve Bannon. I do appreciate your Views. Praise the Lord. May GOD bless you.
Bannon, always the smartest guy in the room.
Preach that truth man 👍👍
President Trump firing Bannon said "He loses his mind."
Mireille Lebeau the Trump administration has gone to shit since Bannon left
Smartest guy? He'd last 10 seconds with a Philosopher!
Including jail cells
Very impressed with the interviewer's questions, so unlike MSM's type questions...
Steve Bannon is the smartest, most honest person I know
You got to love this guy. What a warrior!
Robert McCutcheon Unfortunately warring amongst ourselves has been more destructive than helpful.
@@wicket3641 what a liar
Wow...! Thank u. I'll listen to u again & again until I understand more. Thank u.
Frontline you are the best. Very professional everything you do! Bannon genius love you. Trump is fortunate to have you man! What a team...!
Bannon is the best saleman I've ever heard. I've spent 30 years in sales and I've never heard such a pitch before; but i know bullshit when i hear it but at the same time I respect it. I tip my hat but I'll stay on my side of the line.
The side of Satan
This guy is the real deal. The opposition must fear him and hate him. He is relentless, intelligent and savvy.
One of the most strategic answered questions First Class Steve
Looking good and healthy Steve......That's a blessing for us and you of course.....(smile)…..
Steve needs to go on Joe Rogan. A solid three hour chinwag
Tom Rooney 💯
Word
Be over Joe's head I think.... have another bong
Joe does not really do politics
Rogan is entertaining and seems like a genuinely good guy, but he’s kind of an idiot. Bannon is on a verydifferent level.
Beyond amazing . Beyond illuminating. Steve Bannon's smart as a whip and lives in the real world. Practical. Succinct. Honest. He's OK with what he can and can't get.
Watching PBS on you tube on TV your 2nd interview it's really good. I think you know Trump like no one else does
Why was this guy made to look like an idiot by the media? He is absolutely brilliant, I am amazed.
Bannon is a crook! They should all be in jail!
@@laurasubrismangham4486 Why don't you have Mueller look into it? Oh wait...
Read Bannon’s life biography. He has a record resume’ you will be amazed with his life’s work!
@@bweaver760 Absolutely!
Perez - Because they’re corrupt activist idiots with an agenda?
Thank you for these interviews.
Really appreciate
A surprisingly good and fair interview by PBS.
Yes but this interview is old. What is PBS doing now? That's an honest question. I quit watching legacy media. During the last presidential election. When I saw how bias and anti American they all are. And I was disgusted by their coverage of the "mostly peaceful" riots.
This is the stuff you will never hear from the mainstream. Good work PBS. I think a lot of people would view this administration much differently if they had this information.
Bannon, always the smartest guy in the room.
There are history books, actually.
Love and salute Mr Bannon
Steve Banon is one of the most important people in the president Donald Trump and his family too support them in the President Donald Trump, s ELECTION and how they have been involved with the whole process of making the Country and the world a better place to live
He is teaching lesson to interviewer. Good Steave
I've always liked Steve Bannon but grew a new admiration for him once Trump won president in 2016. Best thing that could ever happen to US is Steve's take on things.
Wow, what is this - a podcast? Nice job PBS!
I LOVE LISTENING TO STEVE BANNON!!!❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸👍
I'm all in in Bannon
God bless you, Mr. Bannon. Wonderful interview.
Well done PBS!
Super interview!!! One to be watched!!! Truly great. And after elections in January it's prophetic! Bannon is amazing. God bless him for his clear eyed view.
Bannon is the Johnny Cash of politics. Got gravel in his gut and spit n his eye.
He makes me think of Brass Balls Ben London in the movie Trigger Happy 😄
Whoo yeah..
lmao, more lke the asshole open of politics
Great interview, gives details of they why and wherefore. Could listen to Mr Bannon all day.
Steve Bannon sure knows his stuff. He didn't stick around and turn into a DC Leach, he went back to what he likes to do. You certainly have to admire him for doing that.....
What does he do? I really don't know. Does he do podcasts or have a channel? Where does he live? Was he around for 6th Jan, 2021?
@@ardentynekent2099I guess you didn't listen.
Whats amazing about this guy is he gives a light to anything is possible..
Brilliant !!!! Excellent piece. !! Well done
i have enormous respect for this man bannon.he has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the inner workings of realpolitic whereas roger stone knows most about the underworld of american politics"Haedes" ie the underbelly.both are compulsive listening.bannon is a patriot and that always shines through.extraordinary sensitized political brain with all his antennae on high alert.not the kind of guy you listen to if youre an insomniac and certainly shouldnt be listened to within three to four hours of your normal bedtime as you will not sleep.
Only one problem with Steve Bannon, he's right.
Visible Integrity and intelligence. Thank you.
Great interview! Thanks for letting him talk.
Steve is a brilliant man. Well-Spoken and on point on everything. I admire his bravery in resisting the liberal elites.
Great interview! Love this guy
Brilliant. A master class.
Mr. Bannon. Is one smart patriot
Thank you Steve.
Steve Bannon is fantastic!
Steve Bannon always drops gems 💎
Very informative interview. Thanks for all comments. Good job.
It’s happened even in England - now Labour Party folks are openly talking about “Progressive Patriotism” - left wing populism. Wouldn’t have happened without Bannon and Trump.
They've had a huge impact on the Western world, just like I hoped and predicted it would back when Trump was elected.
So national socialist?
@@pimtool9351 You and the dude who wrote the main comment in this thread have to understand that there is a difference between "populism" and "nationalism/patriotism". "Nationalism" is based on tribalism so, You flock to your own kind/tribe/nation. "Populism" is an ideology based on rights and power of the people/masses. These people can be of various tribes and cultures. What unites people in "populism" is their economic standing, not their tribe/culture. That's the difference. I am a populist but I am not a nationalist.
@@Eusantdac so your a globalist ?
@@droptuned83 Just re-read my last sentence. You must have missed it.
Bright boy Bannon
Incredibly bright man ….
American Patriot totally under attack Steve Bannon has balls God bless
Excellent interview. For a long time now I have given up on expecting PBS to provide real news information with out bias activism for the left.
To my surprise this was a very informative interview and the reporter didn't try to play games.
Of course, Steve Bannon is one smart and articulate figure. And a true patriot.
I wrote him off because of his association with Trump. Now I see that he is a Tad smarter and actually quiet interesting and pleasant
Curious how you suffered in anyway under Trump...not what your ideals of utopia should be , but real life suffering?
Congrats for keeping an open mind, most people dont go to that extent...
if media tells you to write somebody off, you can bet your life on it that the exact opposite is true and that you must write media off. same principle goes for Trump also. Establishment media will never stop lying about people who threaten their absolute power
Gee Mr. Seltz ..
A capital t 'tad' smarter .?.
Curious to know how you developed TDS initially .?.
If you educate yourself as to the FACTS before forming outrageous opinions based on another's TRUTHS , you may avoid posting public statements that exemplify your ignorance and/or stupidity .!.

KEEP THE FAITH AND DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED.! Mon 12/14/2020
Just finished part 1. This guy is on it.
How come some repub's don't like Steve Bannon he is a TRUMP man through and through love listening to his talks this guy loves his country , the Repub party need more of these guys on there side go STEVE . TRUMP 2020 Aussie Dave
In the Australia media, just as terrible as US media, all we heard about Steve Bannon was bad stuff, so, sadly, and ignorantly of me, I had swallowed their BS. So glad I watched these 2 extensive interview for a fresh perspective on a brilliant, imperfect sure, but brilliant man with a really deep and complete understanding on everything that was going on. Its like juggling 35 balls - almost impossible - just thinking about what he was trying to manage in those times, gives me palpitations...
TRUST STARTS WITH THIS MAN!
Amen 2021
love watching him
Excellent interview. Yeah, how about a quantitative easing for the little guy?
@@mojave1765 you mean Modern Monetary Theory? I looked up the definition. It made no sense to me. Do you have a definition that is easily understood?
Quanative easing in the nut shell. Corporations need to take over the middle class. They perchase all the competition in their relative industry including every media company and tele communications company. The curve of supply and demand goes against this Socialist big government big Corporation theory because of the bust and boom of cyclical economics. So when a natural down turn in one industry bleeds into the next it cannot be contained without massive injections of cash. The federal government cannot continously inject capital into private corporations, so they use the Federal Reserve too. Digitally printing money to purchase Government bonds at first to offset the Capital that once was the Banks and Insurance companies domain. But do to capitol restraints of over lending to huge Corporations has fallen to the Federal Reserve whom is now not only digitaly printing trillions of dollars to buy Government bonds. But now buying for the first time in U. S. and World History they are buying Corporate bonds. We are on the presipous of the largest World Economic collapse that has ever been seen. Billionaires will become the middle class and millionaires will be the working class scenario. All others will be on sustanence payments and food lines.
I think some post have been removed. I responded to a person named Mojave... But there's no post from him that I responded to. I've also seen post with my name on it but it wasn't something I posted.
@@buddygraham1486 I've since found out MMT is a theory that the federal govt can print as much money as they want regardless of inflationary pressures that brings on. What a mess.
@@robertpace901 Not quite, MMT states that you can print as much as you want as long as you control over inflationary pressures. There are several parameters used to control inflationary pressures, which include interest rates, taxes, and bond issuance. The problem with MMT is that it has not been demonstrated to work over a long period of time. Also, governments that have simply printed money in the past (e.g. Zimbabwe, Nicaragua, and Venezuela) had poor control over inflation, which resulted in runaway inflation. So there is really no example of a country that has truly used MMT as fiscal policy for long term with any demonstration of success.
