Summary
This document appears to be a page from a transcript, stamped with a House Oversight Committee footer (029023). The text features a speaker (biographical details align with Steve Bannon: Goldman Sachs, Harvard Business School, media investor) discussing a 'crisis of capitalism' and the 'West.' The speaker argues that since the fall of the Soviet Union, the West has gone off track, facing a conflict requiring a 'church militant' stance, and criticizes state-sponsored capitalism seen in China and Russia. NOTE: While the user prompt identifies this as Epstein-related, there is no direct mention of Jeffrey Epstein, his associates, or his properties on this specific page.

And we’re at the very beginning stages of a very brutal and bloody conflict, of which if the
people in this room, the people in the church, do not bind together and really form what I
feel is an aspect of the church militant, to really be able to not just stand with our beliefs,
but to fight for our beliefs against this new barbarity that’s starting, that will completely
eradicate everything that we’ve been bequeathed over the last 2,000, 2,500 years.
Now, what I mean by that specifically: I think that you’re seeing three kinds of converging
tendencies: One is a form of capitalism that is taken away from the underlying spiritual
and moral foundations of Christianity and, really, Judeo-Christian belief.
I see that every day. I’m a very practical, pragmatic capitalist. I was trained at Goldman
Sachs, I went to Harvard Business School, I was as hard-nosed a capitalist as you get. I
specialized in media, in investing in media companies, and it’s a very, very tough
environment. And you’ve had a fairly good track record. So I don’t want this to kinda
sound namby-pamby, “Let’s all hold hands and sing ‘Kumbaya’ around capitalism.”
