Summary
A transcript page featuring a speaker identified as 'Bannon' (likely Steve Bannon) discussing the 2008 financial crisis and its aftermath. He criticizes the bailouts as a transfer of wealth from working-class taxpayers to 'crony capitalists' and executives who should have been held criminally accountable. He links this economic disparity and the lack of legal repercussions for banking executives to a 'populist revolt' in England and Middle America.
