Steve Bannon's Podcast Is Back On Spotify 5 Years After He Suggested Beheading Government Officials
Five years after Steve Bannon said he'd put government officials' 'heads on pikes,' his podcast 'WarRoom' is no longer suspended at Spotify. Bannon tells the New York Post that his content hasn't changed much in the years since, and described it as 'the same' in a June interview. Previously, Bannon had served as the White House's Chief Strategist during President Donald Trump's first term, though he left in 2017 after clashing with other aides. He's since remained an influential voice in the MAGA sphere, including via the WarRoom podcast, which publishes a number of times a week and has been dubbed a 'far-right 'Meet the Press'' by The Washington Post. A Spotify spokesperson told HuffPost that the decision to host Bannon's new WarRoom episodes follows a 'temporary suspension and constructive dialogue with the show's team.' The spokesperson did not specify what that dialogue addressed and if any changes had been made to the show that led to its reinstatement, however. Spotify removed an episode of WarRoom in November 2020 after Bannon suggested beheading government officials, including then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci and then-FBI Director Christopher Wray. 'I'd actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England, I'd put the heads on pikes, right, I'd put them [Fauci and Wray] at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats,' Bannon said in the episode. 'You either get with the program or you're gone – time to stop playing games,' he added. 'Spotify won't tolerate content on our platform that promotes, advocates or incites hatred or violence,' a Spotify spokesperson told Gizmodo in November 2020 about removing the WarRoom episode. 'The content in question has been removed due to multiple violations of our policy.' Spotify went on to temporarily suspend the show altogether, according to the company spokesperson, because several episodes published in 2020 broke its Platform Rules, which urge creators to avoid content that promotes violence. Bannon, meanwhile, claimed in the New York Post interview that his remarks in that episode were metaphorical and not literal threats of violence. 'I made a comment two days before about Thomas More in 'A Man for All Seasons,' where they put his head on a pike, and we said it metaphorically about Christopher Wray and Dr. Fauci,' he said. After the November 2020 episode, accounts associated with Bannon were also suspended from Twitter and YouTube. WarRoom was still hosted by Apple Podcasts during that time, however, and continued to reach numerous listeners via that platform. The show's return to Spotify comes as multiple tech platforms have reversed past suspensions of President Donald Trump and his allies in recent years, and as a number of Silicon Valley executives have sought to build cozier relationships with the White House. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) also drew fierce criticism from Democrats earlier this year for giving Bannon a platform on his own podcast, a move he defended by stating that he wanted to 'engage' with different ideas. 'I can give a punch and I can take a punch — the MAGA movement prides itself in being resilient,' Bannon told the New York Post about his return.

Steve Bannon back on Spotify after 5 years — but pledges to fight big tech to the end: ‘Most dangerous thing in the country'
Nearly five years after Steven Bannon's suspension from Spotify, his podcast 'WarRoom' has returned — a move which may cement his role as the most influential MAGA voice for a global audience, given the platform's massive reach of 268 million subscribers. Bannon, like now-president Donald Trump, managed to grow his audience during the years Joe Biden was in office despite his removal from YouTube, Facebook, and X. His team says his following is well into the millions and was fortified by his unwavering support of Trump through his mass media shadowbanning and even being sent to jail, which helped solidy his MAGA bona fides. Advertisement 4 Bannon said War Room, which churns out four hours of programming six days a week from a basement studio in Washington, D.C Bannonâs War Room While he has been welcomed back to Spotify, Bannon said 'WarRoom' — which produces four hours of programming six days a week from a studio in Washington, D.C. — hasn't changed its tone or style at all since it was banned in 2020. 'I think our content's the same, probably more hard hitting than ever,' Bannon, 71, told The Post. Advertisement 'WarRoom' was removed from most platforms, but not Apple Podcasts, in November 2020 after Bannon said, 'I'd actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England, I'd put the heads on pikes, right, I'd put them [then-NIAID chief Anthony Fauci and FBI director Christopher Wray] at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats. 'You either get with the program or you're gone – time to stop playing games.' In a statement, a Spotify spokeswoman said, 'Following its temporary suspension and a constructive dialogue with the show's team, new 'Bannon's WarRoom' episodes are available on Spotify.' 4 Spotify has a global presence — the company is in more than 180 countries. Emmy Park for NY Post Advertisement Bannon told The Post his comments were metaphorical rather than literal, 'I made a comment two days before about Thomas More in 'A Man for All Seasons', where they put his head on a pike, and we said it metaphorically about Christopher Wray and Dr. Fauci.' As well as making a comeback on streaming, Bannon is also making a resurcence in mainstream media, with appearances on the Democrat California Governor's 'This is Gavin Newsom' podcast and Bill Maher's 'Real Time'. 'I can give a punch and I can take a punch — the MAGA movement prides itself in being resilient,' Bannon said of how he has adapted from being ban to now being welcomed on even left-wing programs. Advertisement He's glad for the opportunity to reach Americans on the left who have never heard him. He's also focused on content that has a global reach (Although MGGA — Make the Globe Great Again doesn't have the same ring to it). Spotify's presence in more than 180 countries can help that. 'At least an hour we try to give over to just the international populist nationalist sovereignty movement,' Bannon said. 'We have a lot of coverage of Hungary, Poland, Romania…' 4 Bannon is 'adamant' about breaking up tech companies and believes free speech is not safe until companies like Amazon and Facebook are broken up. Getty Images During his career, Bannon has worked as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, a Hollywood producer on nearly two dozen films, co-founder of Breitbart News, CEO of Trump's 2016 campaign, and a chief strategist at the White House until 2018, when a report broke that he had made damaging comments about Trump's children. But Bannon has moved away from jockeying for power in the White House and is now wholly focused on learning his audience and building War Room. Part of 'War Room's' appeal, Bannon says, is that the show respects its listeners, 'Our audience is into the receipts [the evidence and data], it's a working class and middle class audience.' He says media snobs are clueless about his audience, citing a recent example of a reporter who dscribed his show as him discussing a lot of 'boring stuff' before going on a 'rant.' 4 Steve Bannon is very critical of Elon Musk, who he calls an 'apostate of the left.' Getty Images for Semafor Advertisement 'Well, in that show, what he would call the boring stuff is what the audience wanted most,' Bannon explains. 'We do a lot capital markets, detailed politics, the precinct strategy, geopolitics, a lot of economy, a lot of the bond market, you know, things like the [Trump's] Big, Beautiful Bill, we will drill down on the math.' While Bannon is admittedly glad to be reinstated, he isn't taking it for granted. He is also aware of how any company with the power to ban and then reinstate someone can change its policies on a whim, which is part of the reason he tells me he is 'adamant' about breaking up giant tech companies. 'The oligarchs go beyond big tech, but I think Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Google all need to be broken up,' he said. Advertisement 'Big tech, I think, is the most dangerous thing in the country. It has potential great upside, but right now it's oligarchy power and we have to go after them.' 'And I remember at the inauguration [this January], they were all sitting there thinking they own President Trump… It turned out President Trump started crushing them, whether in federal court or with other anti-trust efforts. They can't be trusted as far as you can throw them… that's why I think they have got to be broken up.' But Bannon is also very critical of Elon Musk, who he tells me is an 'apostate of the left' but who he has also slammed as a 'parasitic illegal immigrant.' Advertisement Bannon and Musk are pitted against each other in an idealogical war over MAGA. When asked whether X offers a sufficient antidote to other tech behemoths, Bannon replied, 'If you mention getting rid of H-1B work visas, you'll see how suppressed you become.' 'Although Twitter's been a sea change with the political right… Elon Musk could flip in a second… that's where the danger [is].'

Thomas More's courage is an inspiration for all time
Three years ago, when memories of the final series of HBO's Game of Thrones were still fresh, Joanne Paul published The House of Dudley, a gripping account of three generations of the Dudley family, whose efforts to seize the crown from the Tudors, as I noted in these pages, made the machinations of the Lannisters and the Starks look tame. Now, hard on the heels of the final instalment of the BBC's adaptation of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall trilogy – and with a revival of Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons opening in the West End in August – Paul has published another book equally attuned to the zeitgeist. Thomas More is a biography of the man known to posterity as both St Thomas More and Sir Thomas More, an enigmatic figure variously worshipped as a saintly martyr and vilified as a dogmatic zealot. The author of Utopia (1516), arguably the most influential work of literature by an Englishman between Chaucer and Shakespeare, More was a friend to the Dutch humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam and a patron of the German-born Hans Holbein the Younger, whose 1527 portrait of More wearing his golden chain of esses (a signifier of loyalty to the crown) is one of the most instantly recognisable images of the early 16th century. More was one of the greatest legal minds of his generation in England. Appointed Cardinal Wolsey's successor as Lord Chancellor in 1529, he – unlike Wolsey, who had favoured a conciliatory approach to the widening confessional divide – used the powers of his office to root out Lutherans and others he deemed guilty of heresy.

The shark from ‘Jaws' breaks again, but onstage
'It's a big departure for us,' Hanney says of the NSMT, which usually presents musicals in an arena-style setting, 'but everyone is so familiar with the movie, I think they will love this.' Advertisement 'The Shark Is Broken' zooms in on a period during the film's oft-delayed shooting schedule (it ran three months longer than expected) when the three stars — Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider, and Richard Dreyfuss — were stuck together out at sea on a boat called the Orca, with nothing to do and nowhere to go while the mechanical shark (nicknamed Bruce) underwent repairs. 'Filming a movie involves intense periods of stress and long periods of boredom,' says 'The Shark Is Broken' co-writer Joseph Nixon, best known as a British playwright and sketch comedy writer. 'When the people involved are big personalities, like these actors, it makes for great dramatic tension, and quite a lot of humor.' Advertisement 'It's not an unvarnished portrait,' says Nixon. 'Ian found some of his dad's diaries, written during a period when [Robert] was drinking heavily, that also chronicled his clashes with Dreyfuss.' Dreyfuss was in his mid-twenties during the filming, without Shaw's extensive theater training and experience (which included 'A Man for All Seasons,' 'From Russia with Love,' and 'The Sting,' to name just a few films). Dreyfuss had only two films to his credit ('American Graffiti' and 'The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz'), while Scheider had a decade of screen credits under his belt, including 'The French Connection,' 'The Seven-Ups,' and 'Klute.' 'The dynamic on the Orca was kind of 'The Three Bears,'' says Nixon, 'with Shaw as the gruff Papa Bear, Scheider as the calm, conciliatory Mama Bear, and Dreyfuss as the demanding Baby Bear.' The heart of 'The Shark Is Broken,' says director Guy Masterson, 'is the father-son dynamic. The idea that three people from very disparate backgrounds are forced to spend significant time together — remember, the filming lasted 160 days — makes the story work as a great drama even without 'Jaws' as the background.' But anchoring the story with these three well-known personalities, confined together in a small space while making a legendary film, provides 'a smorgasboard for 'Jaws' fans,' Masterson says, 'while also exploring relationships complicated by egos, alcoholism, and fame.' While Ian Shaw has had a successful acting career in England — he's currently touring the United Kingdom and Ireland with 'The Shark Is Broken' — it took him years to focus on his father's story, Masterson says. Shaw and Masterson had been friends for decades, sharing the early loss of their fathers, and the toll of alcoholism (in Masterson's case, he had a father-figure relationship with his great-uncle, actor Richard Burton). Advertisement 'When Ian asked me to read his script about three men on a boat,' Masterson says, 'I loved the context 'Jaws' provides, but the populist aspect makes these characters recognizable and their story universal.' Masterson took 'The Shark Is Broken' to the Edinburgh Festival,' which, he says, provides opportunities to take risks. The play was a hit there, and went on to successful runs in London's West End, and was revised slightly for a production in Toronto, before playing an 18-week run on Broadway where Hanney was a co-producer. The current production has reunited the original production team (including sound and set designers), while casting three new actors who bear a striking resemblance to Shaw (Timothy Hull), Dreyfuss (Jonathan Randell Silver), and Scheider (Josh Tyson). The NSMT's arena stage has been reduced to around 700 seats, all on one side, in a reimagined, proscenium-style set up. The Orca set, where all the action takes place, is realistic, but also modular, easy to dismantle and bring to Martha's Vineyard, where Hanney will remount it at the Martha's Vineyard Performing Arts Center in Oak Bluffs for a two-week run starting July 5, not far from the Edgartown Cinemas, which Hanney owns. 'I hope the popularity of the film and the connection to the 50th anniversary will draw people,' says Hanney. 'But you don't have to know anything about the movie to enjoy this great story of three people trying to figure out how to get along and get their jobs done.' Advertisement This summer's Shakespeare on the Common production, "As You Like It," will run from July 23 to Aug. 10. Cast announced for 'As You Like It' on the Boston Common July 23-Aug. 10 Commonwealth Shakespeare Company returns to the Boston Common July 23-Aug. 10 for its annual free production of Shakespeare. This year's offering is the delightful comedy, 'As You Like It,' in which Rosalind and her cousin Celia flee the court when Rosalind's father is overthrown, taking refuge in the forest of Arden, where they find love, acceptance, and a new community. Founding Artistic Director Steven Maler will direct a cast featuring many Boston-area favorites and CSC veterans, including Nora Eschenheimer ('The Tempest,' 'Cymbeline') and Michael Underhill ('The Tempest,' 'Much Ado About Nothing'), Maurice Emmanuel Parent ('The Tempest,' 'King Lear'), John Kuntz ('Twelfth Night,' 'Macbeth'), Remo Airaldi ('Much Ado About Nothing,' 'Richard III'), and Jared Troilo ('Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol''). While audience members are free to bring blankets or chairs, or rent chairs on site, seats in the CSC Friends Section will be available in late May through a donation to CSC. THE SHARK IS BROKEN Play by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon. Directed by Guy Masterson, at the North Shore Music Theatre, Beverly, May 2-11. Tickets $45-$65. 978-232-7200,
