A historian claims Steve Bannon repeatedly tried to prompt him into saying that the US was on the brink of a third world war.
David Kaiser said Donald Trumps now chief White House strategist really made an effort in a 2009 interview to persuade him the fourth turning would be at least as big as the Second World War.
Mr Bannons belief that global society repeats itself and runs in cycles, divided up by a war every 80 or 100 years, has been well documented in recent weeks.
He was talking about the wars of the fourth turnings, said Mr Kaiser, speaking to the Huffington Post.
You have the American Revolution, you have the Civil War, you have the Second World War; theyre getting bigger and bigger.
Mr Bannon was interviewing the then Rhode Island Naval War College professor for a 2010 documentary, by Conservative think tank Citizens United, called Generation Zero.
It looked at the generational theory by William Strauss and Neil Howe, but this line of questioning with Mr Kaiser, did not make the final cut.
Mr Bannon reportedly told Mr Kaiser America had slipped into the fourth turning when Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke asked for a banking bailout in September 2008.
The former chairman of alt-right news website Breitbart appears to believe we are in the midst of an existential war, predominantly with Islam and China.
He told The Washington Post last month we are witnessing the birth of a new political order.
In 2011 he told Political Vindication Radio were in a 100-year war against radical Islam and in 2014 told a Vatican conference: We are in an outright war against Jihadist Islamic fascism.
Mr Bannon reportedly once wrote a rap musical about gangster soldiers and said only people who own property should be allowed to vote.
Historian and New America Foundation co-founder Michael Lind also told the Huffington Post this Strauss and Howe theory was fiction and as vague as fortune cookies.
