Bannon on Fire in CA: Three Standing Ovations at GOP Convention Keynote
Breitbart ^ | 10/21/2017

Posted on 10/21/2017 2:38:35 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

Breitbart News Executive Chairman and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon delivered a fiery keynote address to about 500 people at the opening dinner of the California Republican Party’s Fall Convention Friday night, praising President Trump and declaring war on the GOP establishment.

Stepping out from behind the podium, comfortably walking about the stage, Bannon gave a forty-minute-long speech covering a myriad of issues that began with effusive praise of President Trump, the importance of winning and how victories beget victories, and about the great challenge ahead in taking on the, “corporatists, lobbyists, consultants, and the politicians they control.”

In referring to his work with President Trump, Bannon said early in his remarks, “I’ve had the honor of being the CEO of his campaign, the chief strategist in the white house — and now I’m proud to say his wingman outside.”

“Donald Trump has been an existential threat to the system,” Bannon declared to overwhelming applause from the audience.

Bannon went on to talk about the importance of the recent victory of Judge Roy Moore in the Republican U.S. Senate runoff election in Alabama.

“We had to prove something,” Bannon said. “That the donor class and Mitch McConnell’s money doesn’t mean anything. They spent $32 million dollars against $2 million from Judge Roy Moore.  Judge Moore won 45-55.  It was the politics of personal destruction.  It was against Judge Moore and his wife…  And you know what they said his big crime was… he put the ten commandments in the city hall… The underpinnings of Judeo-Christian thought.”

Bannon talked quite a bit about the pieces of the winning coalition that won the Presidency for Trump and the Alabama GOP Senate nomination for Roy Moore – populists, nationalists, and Christians.

KEYWORDS:
“It’s about one thing – are you a citizen of the United States of America?” Bannon asked the audience.  “Economic nationalism is not what’s going to drive us apart, it’s what’s going to bring us together.  GDP isn’t everything.  We are not an economy. We are a country.  We have a social fabric.  I’m a free market capitalist.  That’s the underpinnings of our society.  Economic nationalism means ensuring that jobs that we have allowed to go to Asia come back to the United States.”

I heard him talk about 'Economic nationlism' before and it gave me some pause because in my mind we need to be about more than just the money. That is why I am glad he fleshed this out a little more. To me this is the most important part of this statement:

GDP isn’t everything.  We are not an economy. We are a country.  We have a social fabric.

Indeed - We are a people who share a common heritage, culture, language and history. If we recapture this our economy will flourish

The dems are certainly capitalizing on the organized, public, National Football League-protests against the flag.

Rodeo clowns and all

He should get in good physical condition and stay that way. Bannon 2024? Or 2020, if necessary?

Did AntiFa and BLM show up to badger and attack the attendees like they have for the other events featuring Conservative speakers? There were CA GOP & Conservatives there, right?

“I’m proud to say his wingman outside.”

He and Gorka are doing a bang-up job as DJT’s “wing men” outside of the White House.

“We are a country. We have a social fabric.”

This is what I think of when the NFL aholes take a knee, link arms, or do any other despicable act. Some say they are disrespecting our soldiers when they do that. That’s true, but it’s much, much more. They are chipping away at our entire country, it’s social fabric, the miracle of its founding, and its essence.

Social fabric is perfect vs. social justice for the rats.

Bannon could be another George Washington just like Andrew Breitbart could have been.

Sounds like this speech was very much the same as what he gave at the Value Voter's Summit. And that was terrific -- listened to it a couple times.

And I think you highlighted the most important paragraph in that speech.

Amen. We are Americans -- first and foremost.

Dear Leftists: As long as you think of yourself as an American first, your politics maybe in error, but at least your loyalty and heart is in the right place... and I am your brother.

Seems the social fabric is irrevocably torn, in fact re-seperated back into two distinct rugs: grizzly bear and an IKEA apricot jute bath mat.

Globalism, climate change and all these trade deals negotiated over the years by Clinton, Bush & Obama are in truth - redistribution - World communism. American wealth going to line the pockets of the world elites - not benefiting the world’s population at all as the elites encourage the subjugation of the world’s populace to Islam.

What Bannon is talking about is not nativism! It is nationalism in it’s purest sense. Where the people, not the elites make the decisions.

I went to the link which had the speech. Bold ideas indeed! I like how he was not willing to lose California . The RATS seized that state after a Federal judge pushed Prop 187 off the table letting illegals flood the voter rolls.Never forget Reagan was once the Governor of that state.

Don’t know, but this was the California GOP. If they didn’t announce Bannon in advance, then Left probably figured it would be a bunch of guys dressing like women, running around in pink rainbows...you know, what the California GOP has become - at least per some of the articles I’ve read here involving them.

(and don’t laugh, the national GOP was 3 states away from exactly the same outcome - which is joining the Left once defeating them is out of the question)
