“A lot of people in the White House listen to it,' according to Trump ally and GOP congressman Matt Gaetz
One of Bannon’s key arguments is the Republicans should be demanding and facilitating an extended Senate trial—in contrast to the strategy that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has announced.

The basement studio is located in Bannon’s headquarters in D.C., a Capitol Hill townhouse formerly known as the Breitbart embassy. Bannon sits at the head of a green cloth-covered table. In front of him are books by Bernard-Henri Levy, Peter Bergen, and two officers from the People’s Liberation Army. Over the course of the three-hour broadcast, he’s served a constant stream of caffeinated beverages — usually coffee, but sometimes a can of diet Red Bull as a change of pace.
Earlier this month, when Intelligencer sat in on the taping, the three celebrated their 100th episode and canceled their scheduled guests to discuss the fatal drone strike against Qasem Soleimani — specifically, how Republicans should defend the controversial decision on its own terms and in the context of impeachment. Miller argues that “this entire impeachment push was about a foreign-policy disagreement with unelected bureaucrats who disagreed with how the president was handling Ukraine.
Among the listeners in the nation’s capital — and the Capitol — is Republican congressman Matt Gaetz. He told Intelligencer that the show “has been very important to me.” The high-profile Trump ally cited its influence in how he questioned three law professors called as witnesses by Democrats in House impeachment hearings. Other GOP members then followed suit and railed against the witnesses as biased for their past contributions to Democratic campaigns.
