RUSH EXCERPT:

BANNON: "Let's talk about -- let's have a discussion about Alabama. In Alabama, the elites, the permanent political class, as personified by Mitch McConnell and Karl rove and that clique that has been running this town 30 years or 40 years, raised over $30 million to go after a good and righteous man, judge Moore. This money was not used to debate the great issues of the day. It was not to debate illegal immigration or America's foreign-policy or ObamaCare. That money was used to destroy judge Moore and his family. The politics of personal destruction, as personified by the permanent political class, is the only way they can win. Judge Moore raised about $2 million versus $32 million. A lot of donors called up and said do you want to give money to judge Moore. I was telling folks, I do not think that is smart. We have to prove the theory of the case in Alabama. This is a test of wills. We are going to determine down there who is more powerful. The money of the corporatists or the money of the people. You know all of us folks, you know why they are taking these photos? This is not about me. Not about seb Gorka, not about Laura Ingraham. Not about our beloved commander in chief, Donald J. Trump. They are here because of you. They fear you. And they fear you, because they understand you've had a belly full of it, and you're taking your country back. Your country back.
[Applause]
And from the city of London to beijing to the gulf to Washington, D.C., silicon valley, Wall Street, they're nervous. And sons and daughters just like dancing working class or morons. They think 32nd TV spots can change the's opinion, but it can't. The most powerful thing is a candidate with good people going door-to-door knocking on the door and telling people with passion this is a you want to vote for. You know who taught us that? Barack Obama or it is a politician, he knew exactly what he was doing. Rudy Giuliani, to mock and ritual him in front of the Republican convention, what is a community organizer? Somebody that can kick your as choice. Folks understand when you come to the door and your less experience, they respect to Sony talk about Donald Trump or judge more, it means something and Alabama, you folks were able to turn the tables. He took Mitch McConnell's money and took it from his biggest asset to the biggest liability. The more money they spend come of the fewer votes they get. If I can take a rest on plutarch and Shakespeare upon capitol Hill -- the only question is in this is just an analogy or metaphor, they are looking to find out who is going to be brutusbrutus to your Julius Caesar. The donors are not happy. They have all left you accurately have cut your oxygen off your it money is not courageous, but money is smart. There worked up and Matt for reason. Here's one of the reasons merrimac. By the way, southern poverty law center, why don't you go talk to corporate clients they give you the money to run these folks down and talk about the economic hate crimes have been pulling on the working men and women of America. Why don't you answer for all of the foundations of all of these guys to put the money in, let's look at their economic crime. They have gutted this country, you've taken their money, and you call these good people, hate crime perpetuaters, because the tried to put forth the best values of a civilization around for thousands of years. That is a hate crime? We are in the valley of decision. This is a fourth great turning in American history. This is the fourth. We are going to be one thing, is going to take 5, 10, 20, 25 years to go through this. We will be one thing or the other on the other side of it. We will either be the country that was bequeathed from previous generations to you, or we will be something else. In this valley of decision, it's not about mark meadows, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and the great leaders of the conservative movement. The burden is on you. The burden is on your shoulders. On the morning of November 8, I told the president, I got in there in August when he was 16 points down. No money. Not a lot of organization. I said, if we pull this thing together, 100% metaphysical certitude you will win. On Billy bush Saturday, everyone was jumping ship. No one is making justifications for what the president he said, including the president. I told him, 100% metaphysical certitude you will win. Folks are looking for change in this country. They are looking to take their country back, and you are the vehicle and instrument that is going to do it. They don't care about locker room talk.
[Applause]
Because we are going to bring to that debate the women that will
-- William Jefferson Clinton attacked and his wife covered for him. We're going to let the American people decide between your words and his action. That's why I am mystified her. I am about winning. You know why? We have to win. This next 15, 20 years, and I would love to tell you we could wave a magic wand, I would love to tell you President Trump could snap his fingers and it would be better. But it is not. Every day is going to be a grind. Every day is going to test you. Here is the good news, I know you will not have it any other way. Let's go back to Alabama. Since the Associated Press called judge Moore, I think it was 9:00 at night. Earlier in the day, there was Bob corker. He called the president, this is a guy who had $6 billion in the bank or thereabouts. Chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, most prestigious on Capitol Hill. The one human race the most money on a site for the banking committee and the state President Trump one by some outrageous number. He did not have an opponent. According to him, president Trump disagrees with this, President Trump said he would endorse them. Money, prestige and the endorsement of the president, and he quit.
[Applause]
