“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?

Wussy GOPe Republicans are shaking in their boots. Bad Boy Bannon and American Patriots are coming for them.

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.

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.

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.
