00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:07.100 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:12.340 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:16.600 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:18.560 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:00:19.960 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:21.700 but you're not going to stop it.
00:00:22.620 It's going to happen.
00:00:23.900 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:27.300 MAGA media.
00:00:28.200 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.080 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:37.840 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.120 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:52.700 ...to have it on live TV,
00:00:54.600 and to have been a part of the party that is now part of the rot and part of the threat.
00:00:58.200 ...to domestic security in the United States.
00:01:00.260 I remember, and I think based on his early messages as a candidate,
00:01:05.020 he won't mind if I disclose this for the first time,
00:01:07.120 I remember talking to Chris Christie after Trump says,
00:01:09.280 stand back and stand by to the Proud Boys.
00:01:11.720 He said, we've been all of us trying to get him to take it back.
00:01:16.320 What's wrong with him?
00:01:17.200 He's been clearly a gaffe.
00:01:18.180 And I think in him explaining why he wouldn't do it,
00:01:20.480 I understood not just Trump's enthusiasm for the support of anyone and everyone,
00:01:25.420 including David Duke,
00:01:26.480 but Trump's enthusiasm and appetite,
00:01:29.420 insatiable appetite for violence carried out in his name.
00:01:33.080 And what it has wrought, what was that?
00:01:35.100 That was the fall of 2016.
00:01:37.640 What it has brought is it's brought the entire Republican Party to its hands and knees.
00:01:42.120 They're impotent.
00:01:42.940 Can't do anything about it anymore.
00:01:44.120 If they decided today that this is not how they want the country to be,
00:01:48.120 it's too late.
00:01:49.520 It's too late.
00:01:50.940 Because if this is something I could find before I came on the air,
00:01:54.580 do you know what the radicalized extremists found?
00:01:56.880 They are awash in violent tactical instructions
00:02:01.300 of exactly how to carry out, quote,
00:02:03.340 retribution for their leader, Donald Trump.
00:02:05.200 What do we do?
00:02:05.800 Yeah, I mean, first of all, you have to recognize
00:02:09.560 that all the elements of political radicalization of violence
00:02:12.720 are in play here, right?
00:02:14.500 He's playing on people's deep-seated grievances,
00:02:17.640 particularly when it gets to the federal government,
00:02:20.160 unlike the New York case.
00:02:22.060 You know, you're playing into the same forces
00:02:23.620 that go all the way back to Waco.
00:02:25.080 You know, the FBI, government overreach, conspiracy theories.
00:02:28.900 Trump is tapping into that.
00:02:30.760 And that's the kind of thing that radicalized individuals.
00:02:32.980 Oh, it's so interesting.
00:02:34.200 I was just reading an op-ed by Russell Moore
00:02:36.800 in Christianity Today yesterday.
00:02:39.180 And he said, he talked about a documentary that he had seen.
00:02:44.480 And he said, this generation, it seems,
00:02:48.480 evangelicals have twisted things around 1.00
00:02:51.500 and they have been, like, worshiping the power,
00:02:55.380 going after the power, instead of what he said,
00:02:58.880 instead of focusing on the power of Jesus.
00:03:01.100 That was his view, that they got things backwards.
00:03:05.140 Here, you have the Republican Party,
00:03:07.340 the law and order party, as you said before,
00:03:10.340 that always talked about law and order and national security.
00:03:13.520 They now have also twisted and contorted
00:03:16.900 to such an extent that they now want to defund the FBI.
00:03:20.460 They now apologize for people who bash the brains in of cops.
00:03:27.720 They have their leading candidate actually saluting convicts.
00:03:32.680 It's really, I say it all the time.
00:03:36.180 I mean, if this guy were a double agent for the Democratic Party starting in 2015,
00:03:40.640 he could not have undermined the core of this party any more than he has.
00:03:46.120 Amen, Joe.
00:03:49.040 And the other thing is that, you know, as you both know
00:03:52.500 and everyone in this group knows,
00:03:54.580 the founders, when they were designing our political system,
00:03:57.880 they were trying to do something that was the mirror image of England
00:04:01.180 and the autocracies of Europe.
00:04:03.220 This was not going to be about power.
00:04:05.200 This was not going to be about celebrating one man,
00:04:08.020 and they were usually kings, not queens.
00:04:10.360 This was going to be a system of laws and extremely carefully designed,
00:04:16.600 largely by James Madison, to avoid just what you were saying, Joe,
00:04:21.700 the fear of Alexander Hamilton that some demagogue would come along and trash it all.
00:04:27.480 It's taken two centuries, but now we've got one of our historically great parties,
00:04:32.060 the Republican Party, that is coming up against all of that.
00:04:36.500 And I think, may I say a word about Judge Cannon that connects to this?
00:04:40.000 Please.
00:04:40.900 You know, when I was thinking, when you were talking earlier,
00:04:43.460 I'm not so saying when I'm a lot more nervous about Judge Cannon.
00:04:47.460 Number one, the way she behaved before, she was reprimanded by her superiors.
00:04:52.760 She botched that case. 1.00
00:04:54.980 You know, if we were getting a surgery,
00:04:57.360 would we want to go to a surgeon that had botched an operation the first time?
00:05:02.060 Number one.
00:05:03.180 Number two, you know, we're at a time, just as you were all saying,
00:05:06.660 this could be the most important criminal trial in American history.
00:05:10.160 Do we really feel sanguine about that being in the hands of a judge who was a fervent Trump supporter,
00:05:16.920 member of the Federalist Society,
00:05:18.960 demonstrated in that earlier case or earlier part of this case that she had an ax to grind. 1.00
00:05:25.200 And the third thing, and I'll close with this,
00:05:27.920 is a lot of people in this country expected this trial to be in D.C.
00:05:32.660 with a federal judge in D.C.
00:05:35.340 It was only a few days ago that people suddenly discovered that this trial was going to be not in D.C.
00:05:41.900 Let me have it.
00:05:42.480 But in South Florida.
00:05:43.380 They're already won.
00:05:46.360 And Tuesday, 13th, June, in the year of the Lord, 2023,
00:05:50.020 we're going to focus today on the signal, not the noise, okay?
00:05:53.500 Let me go first.
00:05:54.560 We've got Natalie and Captain Bannon on the scene in Miami.
00:05:59.220 Let me toss to Natalie Winters. 0.98
00:06:00.780 We've got Matt Gaetz is going to join us here in studio.
00:06:04.220 We've got Caroline Wren. 0.96
00:06:05.240 We have a ton of people today.
00:06:06.540 Natalie, set the stage for us down there. 0.99
00:06:08.400 It's early yet.
00:06:09.140 I know the president's not going to get involved here into the afternoon.
00:06:12.500 What's going on?
00:06:15.860 Steve, thank you so much for having us.
00:06:17.900 Captain Bannon will be here basically all day outside of the courthouse.
00:06:21.820 I have to say I've never seen more media in my entire life for any event I've ever been to.
00:06:27.660 It is packed not just wall to wall but inch to inch, millimeter to millimeter,
00:06:32.160 with basically every single media outlet.
00:06:34.820 Of course, the mainstream ones, but a bunch of citizen journalists,
00:06:37.920 and it's really heating up, not just temperature-wise, of course,
00:06:41.140 but we also see a lot more protesters starting to sort of trickle in.
00:06:44.680 Like you said, Trump will be appearing later today.
00:06:47.620 But in the meantime, there already is a pretty healthy presence of protesters,
00:06:51.960 healthy presence of security.
00:06:53.820 We've got some music going off right now.
00:06:55.800 But all in all, I would say the Trump base is turning up and showing out.
00:07:00.680 Natalie, you're going to do double duty today because you're a lead investigative reporter
00:07:06.920 and one of the best in D.C.
00:07:08.080 We're going to talk a lot about the offense here in Grassley.
00:07:10.980 We've got Matt Gaetz, et cetera.
00:07:12.140 It's just hanging tough.
00:07:13.260 Mo, what's your sense of things down there?
00:07:15.380 This is not New York City.
00:07:16.560 I told people it was not going to be New York City.
00:07:18.600 What's your sense of the pro-Trump forces down there, ma'am?
00:07:21.100 There will be a lot of pro-Trump protesters to counter the counter-protesters.
00:07:30.720 Okay, honey, we've got an audio problem.
00:07:32.880 Let's fix her audio so I don't lose all that brilliance. 0.90
00:07:36.740 Let's fix her audio, and we'll come back to her in a second. 0.88
00:07:39.840 Can we get that fixed?
00:07:41.820 We're on scene in Miami.
00:07:44.760 Let's go to Matt Gaetz.
00:07:45.660 Thank you for joining us, particularly everything you've got going on.
00:07:48.160 But a lot of people don't know you're actually a brilliant lawyer.
00:07:53.200 Walk me through.
00:07:54.420 Give me your assessment of what we're seeing today.
00:07:56.440 And I wanted to play for you.
00:07:57.940 It's the most important trial in history.
00:07:59.800 This is an inflection point of America, et cetera.
00:08:03.260 What are your thoughts?
00:08:04.040 The original sin was the Russia hoax. 0.93
00:08:06.800 The original sin was the effort by the national security apparatus
00:08:10.260 to control the election process by utilizing the Steele dossier.
00:08:15.460 And this is just the outgrowth of that.
00:08:17.500 I'm wondering if you see a direct link all the way back.
00:08:20.740 Look at how the national security apparatus has tried to influence all these elections.
00:08:26.320 In 2016, you had the Steele dossier.
00:08:29.620 In 2018, they were pursuing the Russia hoax, and Adam Schiff was out there making stuff up.
00:08:35.440 In 2020, then you have the Ukraine hoax. 0.88
00:08:38.240 He was lying to the American people.
00:08:38.880 Absolutely.
00:08:39.540 Then you have them try to suppress the 100-biden laptop.
00:08:41.940 This is why Luna is trying to get the expulsion of him because he went to the SCIF and then came out and lied to us.
00:08:46.120 I am Congresswoman Luna's co-author of that.
00:08:48.860 But that brings us to this moment where you've got yet another very biased prosecutor in Jack Smith
00:08:54.200 hired for the explicit purpose of destabilizing Donald Trump's path to the presidency.
00:08:59.860 Pattern recognition, we see it here.
00:09:01.780 But there is a feature of this indictment that I am obsessed with.
00:09:05.240 I cannot believe that Jack Smith made reference in the indictment to Hillary Clinton.
00:09:11.600 That is a massive error.
00:09:13.020 And if I were on President Trump's legal team, I would have an entire vector of discovery about absolutely every piece of paper that the federal government ever touched regarding the investigation of Hillary Clinton,
00:09:24.200 the legal analysis of whether or not to bring charges.
00:09:26.860 And that, I think, would serve us as an interesting factual display for any jury.
00:09:32.940 And it's going to be very hard for Jack Smith to now try to keep any evidence out about the misapplication of the Espionage Act and the like,
00:09:42.000 what he himself brought Hillary Clinton into this case.
00:09:44.660 Walk our audience through what do you mean by that.
00:09:47.280 Talk about this reference in there, why you've been so excited about it since you first saw it.
00:09:50.780 Yeah, I read it, and I can't believe that what Jack Smith is using as a factual or legal basis to bring this charge is what Donald Trump said about Hillary Clinton during the presidential campaign of 2016.
00:10:04.780 It is a signal that this is about politics and campaigns, and it is an incredible lack of prosecutorial discipline.
00:10:14.520 When you are laying out an indictment, you want to make sure everything you lay out, you can totally prove and that it is relevant to the legal just obligations that you've got to have to maintain a charge of this kind.
00:10:29.540 And so to have something so superfluous as what Donald Trump said about Hillary Clinton, it's a mistake, and it's one I think Trump's legal team can leverage.
00:10:36.760 And how so?
00:10:37.440 Why does that open up to bring all Hillary Clinton? 1.00
00:10:39.820 Because the jury – look, I don't believe this case ever gets to a jury, but in the event that it ever did –
00:10:44.980 Hang on. Don't go so fast for this audience. That's pretty big. What do you mean you don't think it will ever – today they're dancing around and they're crying crocodile tears because it's in Miami instead of D.C.
00:10:54.040 What do you mean it never goes to trial?
00:10:55.160 One of the basis for a motion to dismiss an indictment is where there's been extreme misconduct on the part of the government.
00:11:03.960 And in this case, we already know as an undisputed factual matter that there were government prosecutors telling lawyers that they had to flip their clients against Donald Trump if they wanted a chance to go be a federal judge.
00:11:17.700 That is the most extreme example of prosecutorial misconduct that I have ever seen.
00:11:22.420 I've never seen an abusive – I really have never seen anything like that in my entire legal career or as an attorney who serves on the House Judiciary Committee.
00:11:30.340 To literally tell someone that they have to go flip their client in order to secure a federal judgeship, I mean that alone is considerably more criminal than a dispute with the archivist over records.
00:11:42.360 And so I think that this indictment will be subject to a motion to dismiss because of that abusive prosecutorial misconduct.
00:11:50.440 But in the event that this got to a jury, how do you think a jury is going to react when now because of Jack Smith you can put evidence before them regarding Hillary Clinton's conduct, Donald Trump's conduct?
00:12:01.000 And juries don't like when the laws are misapplied.
00:12:05.840 And it's not technically a legal element of the case, but juries really, really don't like that in my experience.
00:12:12.460 Could you actually see people like McCabe and Comey actually being called as witnesses to that level?
00:12:18.480 Look, Jack Smith brought Hillary Clinton into this matter.
00:12:21.420 That means anyone who touched anything regarding Hillary Clinton potentially could be deposed, they could be subject to the obligation to produce records, and they could even be forced to give testimony.
00:12:32.380 So it was, I think, a blunder, but it's one that showcases the signal, and that is that this is election interference.
00:12:39.640 Zoom out just a moment here.
00:12:40.940 We showed in this Congress how the CIA was literally using their power over their former agents and employees to try to get them to sign the letter.
00:12:52.900 Exactly, to say that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
00:12:56.440 And so if you've got people in the CIA right now engaged in that degree of election interference, is it hard to believe that the Department of Justice had an axe to grind as well?
00:13:05.100 So now you've got, and we're jammed, the next section I've got to spend about the fight on Capitol Hill that you're leading.
00:13:10.840 I've also got to get to Senator Grassley's amazing speech lesson.
00:13:14.240 I've got to have you break it down for us.
00:13:16.140 We're going to go back real quickly.
00:13:17.500 On Fox News, you have something coming up on the website.
00:13:20.340 Can you tell us about that?
00:13:20.960 Well, we're going to be asking some important questions to Jack Smith.
00:13:25.680 You know, it's my belief as I'm chatting with you, Steve, that we've got to understand how we pierced the attorney-client privilege in this case.
00:13:35.160 I think there is a federal equity there for rigorous oversight.
00:13:38.740 I mean, every single client in almost any matter, criminal or civil, has discussions with their lawyers about what documents have to be produced, what documents might be subject to some privilege, what documents you want to litigate over or separate out from the production.
00:13:54.640 Oftentimes when there's a subpoena, there's a negotiation among the lawyers to in some way constrain the scope.
00:14:01.060 And so these questions President Trump's asking are part and parcel with the normal course of business, what you talk to your attorney about.
00:14:07.420 Right.
00:14:07.640 And then to use that as the basis to claim the crime fraud exception, the crime fraud exception is when you have your attorney like doing money laundering for you.
00:14:17.480 It's when you have your lawyer – it's like the old mob stuff where the mob lawyer was kind of in on a lot of the criminal activity.
00:14:25.180 And in these cases, the lawyer is answering questions about what's responsive to a subpoena, which happens every single day in America.
00:14:31.600 You're not impressed with what Jack Smith put before the American people, I take it.
00:14:35.120 Well, I am concerned a lot more than I'm impressed because I'm concerned about what this means for the country that we've now got the DOJ as the left's hitman.
00:14:46.540 OK, short commercial break.
00:14:48.100 Natalie and Mo are down in Miami with Caroline Wren.
00:14:51.440 Congressman Gates is with us for one and a half more blocks.
00:14:55.340 We've got to get a lot out of him.
00:14:56.760 Short break.
00:14:57.260 Back in a moment.
00:14:57.800 Well, Congress once again allowed itself to be pushed into appeasing the administration and raising the debt ceiling for the 79th time, paving the way for continued reckless spending and further devaluation of the U.S. dollar.
00:15:14.640 As our national debt continues to skyrocket, how are you protecting your savings?
00:15:20.700 Times like these are a great reminder to diversify a portion of your savings into gold.
00:15:25.880 And you can do that with the help of Birch Gold.
00:15:29.080 Here's the easiest way to do it.

00:15:37.660 And you don't pay a penny out of pocket.
00:15:41.060 As BRICS, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa band together against the dollar, more and more central banks are diversifying.

00:16:23.060 Take action, action, action, and take that action today.
00:16:27.940 I need to say it again.
00:16:29.740 I love my former colleague, Charlie Dent.
00:16:32.280 I'm the crazy Tea Party guy.
00:16:34.080 He was the responsible Republican congressman.
00:16:37.060 I miss those days when we argued about issues.
00:16:40.000 Look, here's the deal.
00:16:41.680 No serious challenger to Donald Trump is going to criticize him or attack him.
00:16:48.680 They're not even trying to beat him, Ali.
00:16:51.000 All they're hoping for is that the justice system or a heart attack takes him out.
00:16:57.540 But the party is gone.
00:17:00.540 Our former party is an authoritarian embracing cult.
00:17:05.420 If not Trump, Ali, who do they want?
00:17:08.100 Who's the only other person even registering in the polls?
00:17:11.700 It's Ron DeSantis.
00:17:13.080 He's a Trump mini-me.
00:17:14.520 There's no following for Mike Pence or Nikki Haley or Tim Scott or Chris Christie.
00:17:21.340 It's hard to wrap your arms around the fact that one of our two major political parties is gone.
00:17:29.640 Charlie?
00:17:30.680 Yeah, Joe, what I would say is this.
00:17:33.740 Here we are in June.
00:17:35.780 We're so far out from the presidential election.
00:17:38.840 A lot can happen between now and then.
00:17:41.220 Trump has been indicted two times.
00:17:42.940 He may be indicted a few more times.
00:17:45.500 He's going to delay this thing as long as he can.
00:17:48.000 But I do still think there are a lot of Republican voters out there who want to move on, who want something different.
00:17:54.240 They want to move forward.
00:17:56.600 One of these candidates is going to break through.
00:17:58.700 I agree with you that Ron DeSantis, you know, talking, basically trying to be the new pope.
00:18:03.480 Why be the new pope when you can get the original?
00:18:05.700 I mean, defending Donald Trump at a time like this, if you're opposing him,
00:18:10.040 I think is bad politics.
00:18:12.420 Bad politics.
00:18:13.460 Don't take a cheap imitation.
00:18:15.360 Get the original.
00:18:16.140 I think it's a mistake.
00:18:17.160 They did the same thing after the stormy gang of payments.
00:18:20.900 I don't think it's good politics at all because how is this going to help them in a general election
00:18:25.960 by embracing Trump so closely?
00:18:28.300 They want the nomination, my friend.
00:18:30.140 They want the nomination.
00:18:31.220 And it's smart politics to defend Donald Trump right now because that's what the base wants.
00:18:39.240 Well, the base needs to be led.
00:18:41.380 And when more voices speak up, I've always said the problem is if it's just a handful of people speaking, you're right.
00:18:47.020 They're just yelling into the wind.
00:18:48.220 But if we have more people speaking up in elected positions, they can help change a narrative.
00:18:54.840 They can absolutely change.
00:18:55.880 It's always been a problem for years.
00:18:57.720 Brother, that's the story of the past seven years.
00:19:00.700 If only we had more Republicans speaking up.
00:19:04.060 That's the story.
00:19:05.060 Allie, Charlie, think about this.
00:19:07.180 We are two and a half years removed from Donald Trump leading a violent attempt to overthrow an American election.
00:19:14.940 He's still the party leader.
00:19:17.760 It ain't happening.
00:19:18.820 It ain't happening.
00:19:19.760 You want me to say on television that I support three and four year olds with firearms?
00:19:24.140 Is that what you're asking me to do?
00:19:27.180 Uh, yes.
00:19:30.000 You can do one.
00:19:30.760 Typically, members of Congress don't just hear a story about a program and then indicate whether they support it or not.
00:19:35.280 The intensive three-week kindergarten course introduces specially selected children from 12 to 4 years old to pistols, rifles, semi-automatics, and a rudimentary knowledge of mortars.
00:19:51.820 In less than a month, less than a month, a first grader can become a first Grenader. 0.75
00:19:59.200 Okay, we had to do Joe Walsh and Charlie Dent losing it.
00:20:04.460 By the way, we've got audio problems in Miami.
00:20:05.980 We're going to fix it and get back to Natalie and Captain Bannon and Caroline Wren.
00:20:10.520 Um, the Borat.
00:20:11.720 Oh, Borat, yes.
00:20:13.740 Borat, you know, tried to get me.
00:20:15.580 Couldn't.
00:20:16.100 I couldn't imagine that his foolishness would work on anyone.
00:20:19.740 And it definitely worked on Joe Walsh.
00:20:22.020 Uh, he was talking about how four-year-olds should be running mortars.
00:20:24.580 You dared Borat in that thing, the longer clip, so you'll never get another, when you call him out, you'll never get another congressman to do this.
00:20:30.840 Yes, and, uh, and in fact, he did.
00:20:32.560 Hard cut to Joe Walsh.
00:20:33.500 To Joe Walsh.
00:20:34.380 But here's the thing about Joe Walsh.
00:20:35.960 He's actually right about some of his political analysis, that there isn't a constituency for Mike Pence or Nikki Haley or Tim Scott.
00:20:43.920 We see President Trump continuing to grow that base in the Republican Party.
00:20:47.700 And what I think the mainstream media misses is why.
00:20:51.240 And it's not even sometimes the substance of policy disagreements.
00:20:54.760 It's that the American people right now are on edge.
00:20:57.140 They feel like this government is in existence to hurt them in a lot of ways.
00:21:02.960 That this government is trying to tell their third grader to mutilate themselves, trying to tell their children that they're somehow intractably oppressed or oppressors because of their skin color.
00:21:13.420 That this government is cratering the dollar by printing all of this money, spending all, spending so much, inducing inflation.
00:21:21.540 And senior citizens are now more worried about outliving their money than they are.
00:21:24.940 Death.
00:21:25.880 Death is the good option in Joe Biden.
00:21:28.120 I see why John Fetterman is so depressed sometimes.
00:21:31.260 But what President Trump understands and what I think the people who support him understand is that we've got to break through the wall here.
00:21:38.700 We've got to have that energy in the executive that Alexander Hamilton talked about as central to the country.
00:21:45.020 OK, I've got to pivot now.
00:21:47.080 The report out this morning, the trailing 12 months, the deficit's actually $2.1 trillion.
00:21:52.100 People's heads are blown up because tax revenues are declining rapidly.
00:21:55.620 Interest rates have kicked up.
00:21:56.840 And so you're paying more.
00:21:58.360 Where do we stand right now with holding the floor?
00:22:00.460 A lot of news articles out about you guys have cut a deal temporarily.
00:22:04.420 Walk our audience to it.
00:22:05.740 Well, last week, the pistol brace legislation had been held hostage, had been taken off the floor.
00:22:12.340 That was going to hurt possibly tens of millions of gun owners.
00:22:16.700 We have now liberated the pistol brace bill that is coming to the floor this week.
00:22:21.720 And we've allowed the floor to be open.
00:22:23.040 It will come this week.
00:22:23.560 Yes.
00:22:23.900 And you've opened it to allow it to come.
00:22:25.280 To allow that.
00:22:26.600 And we've sort of put everyone in a situation, I think, to be able to get that bill passed.
00:22:32.820 But next week is a new story, Steve.
00:22:34.720 And next week, we are not going to continue to engage in failure theater absent real change to put downward pressure on spending.
00:22:42.960 And I can tell you that in our meeting with leadership yesterday, they seemed to get it.
00:22:47.600 They seemed to understand it.
00:22:48.880 There was no question as to whether or not we could retake control of the floor at any time for any purpose.
00:22:54.820 And so now what we're doing is we're getting members of Congress to file revocations of some of these national emergencies that have operated as massive slush funds.
00:23:02.700 But it ghosts our head, the spirit of the case.
00:23:04.660 That's right.
00:23:04.940 And that's playing out.
00:23:05.840 And we are getting those filed.
00:23:07.280 What about the Ken Buck authorizations?
00:23:09.320 Trying to get Congressman Buck on here.
00:23:10.620 Is that real?
00:23:11.220 There are several committees.
00:23:12.980 Well, it is absolutely not performative.
00:23:15.360 It will build the muscle memory of the Congress to actually get to these unauthorized programs.
00:23:19.420 There are 1118 unauthorized programs in the federal government that the posse is sending money to every single day.
00:23:27.660 And they're not even authorized programs.
00:23:29.380 And the real way to put downward pressure on spending is not some budgetary gimmick with rescissions.
00:23:35.540 The real way is to pull it up, root and branch, is to ensure that you get a lot of these entities that have never gone through the scrutiny of congressional review sitting in those committees explaining how they spend every dollar.
00:23:49.700 And you know what, Steve?
00:23:50.540 It may take a while to fully affect that strategy, but my hope is that it will last long beyond my tenure here.
00:23:57.700 I am on a mission to change this place.
00:24:00.420 And January was a part of that change.
00:24:02.780 But as I told you then and as I have repeated on this show, all we did in January was build a toolkit.
00:24:08.840 And now we actually have to do the spade work and plow through these agencies and just deauthorize these programs that have been flush with cash for far too long.
00:24:20.040 Leadership, and you've got Granger out.
00:24:21.700 They're talking about she's going to authorize.
00:24:23.520 What we cut the deal was, was actually the ceiling.
00:24:26.500 She's talking about the floor, the appropriations process, the regular order.
00:24:30.640 Isn't that performative?
00:24:31.620 We're 100 days away.
00:24:33.120 I keep telling people, focus on September 15th to September 30th.
00:24:36.820 We're 100 days away.
00:24:38.460 Let's say the authorization bills come in at, not the authorization, let's say the appropriations bills come in and they're at the 2022 levels.
00:24:49.020 So there's significant cuts.
00:24:50.020 Isn't that performative, the Senate's going to reject that, and we're going to be jammed in that last week of September about doing a CR, a mini CR, or everything that you worry about, another Omnibus?
00:24:59.680 Well, the Massey strategy, which is not one that I adhere to, but I think in fairness, you would have to say that the Massey strategy of a 99% CR would be a cut.
00:25:10.960 Now, I am a critic of that because I don't believe that what we need is a horizontal cut system where we just shave a little bit off of everybody.
00:25:20.040 Frankly, there are some areas like Homeland Security veterans where we might –
00:25:23.620 Yes, I want the deep, vertical cuts, and I want to get rid of these programs.
00:25:28.180 Programatically.
00:25:28.640 Yes.
00:25:28.800 That's how you do it, not waste, fraud, and abuse.
00:25:30.420 That's ridiculous.
00:25:31.100 Well, and just taking a program and using budgetary gimmicks to make it look like you spent 1% less is a lot easier than for the big spenders, and that's why we're trying to get the vertical cuts.
00:25:41.280 Have the moderates in this conference learned their lesson, the 149, about how the outrage back in their districts, or are you guys being embraced by those people, or is it outright open-range warfare now?
00:25:53.020 Well, as I think you know, I'm not for everyone, but I do get about –
00:25:57.000 An acquired taste.
00:25:57.760 Yeah, I do get about 70% of the vote every time I put my name on the ballot, and so I know what my constituents want.
00:26:03.100 My constituents do not want me to come here to go along to get along.
00:26:06.400 They want me to fight to put down pressure.
00:26:07.980 And you take no lobbyist money, no PAC money.
00:26:09.080 No lobbyist money, no PAC money.
00:26:10.200 And by the way, I just walked out of a conference meeting with my colleagues on the way to the war room, and they were yelling at me saying, oh, well, you're just doing this for outrage and fundraising.
00:26:20.040 And I'm sitting there thinking to myself, you all go and prostitute yourself to lobbyists for money, and you want to criticize me because hundreds of thousands of Americans all over this country give me $10, $15, $25 at MattGates.com?
00:26:34.520 Like, shame on you.
00:26:35.380 You come to this place and go and shine the shoes of the special interest, and then you go do their bidding with your vote card.
00:26:42.380 And so I wasn't taken too kindly to that criticism.
00:26:46.120 And one member of Congress got up and said, well, I have an important bill to add 15 rail inspectors.
00:26:52.320 And you, 11, who took control of the floor, you've blocked my ability to go get my 15 rail inspectors.
00:26:58.800 So just imagine the worldview you'd have to have to believe that this country is 15 rail inspectors away from salvation and recovery.
00:27:08.460 We are not in the era of incrementalism.
00:27:11.280 The easy choices are over.
00:27:13.200 Okay, we have to make hard choices now.
00:27:15.600 And the adults have to step up and do that.
00:27:17.920 And continuing the failure theater is not something I'm going to be a part of.
00:27:21.520 And if that means we have to grind this place to a halt, then so be it.
00:27:25.460 But I want to move forward with the Gosar strategy, with my colleague Ken Buck's strategy.
00:27:32.200 I want to make sure that when we're appropriating, we're not using funny budgetary gimmicks, but that we're getting rid of these programs that are wasteful and often weaponized.
00:27:41.660 Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.
00:27:44.180 That's a great summary.
00:27:45.220 I know you've got to go back to work.
00:27:46.300 I would ask you to give us 10 or 15 minutes to the other side.
00:27:49.620 We're going to play Grassley's speech, either the highlight reel from the beginning, Anik Gates' comment, and we're going to get Natalie Winters in here as soon as we get audio set up.
00:27:58.220 Short commercial break.
00:27:59.400 Back in the worm.
00:28:00.640 Our guest in the house, he was going to be the co-host, but he's got to run, is Matt Gates.
00:28:05.180 We've got Natalie Winters, Captain Bannon, Caroline Wren, down on the scene of the crime in Miami.
00:28:11.120 We'll return in a moment.
00:28:13.120 Because we're taking down the CCP.
00:28:16.880 Spread the word all through Hong Kong.
00:28:19.360 We will fight till they're all gone.
00:28:21.920 We rejoice when there's no more.
00:28:23.820 Let's take down the CCP.
00:28:27.720 Friends, I can't believe the dire headlines we're facing in the world today.
00:28:31.220 Everywhere you look, things are falling apart.
00:28:33.360 That's why the smartest investment you can make right now is in your family's food security.
00:28:38.880 Let me repeat that.
00:28:40.340 Your family's food security.
00:28:43.240 The reality is you might not be able to find food when the next disaster strikes.
00:28:47.940 Grocery stores will be empty because roads will be closed and trucks won't be able to make deliveries.
00:28:53.780 When that happens, you need emergency food in full supply.
00:28:58.420 That's why I urge you to grab a three-month emergency food kit from MyPatriotSupply.
00:29:03.720 That's MyPatriotSupply.
00:29:05.120 They're the nation's largest preparedness company.
00:29:07.920 When you order today, you'll save $200 on each kit you need.
00:29:12.900 The food in these kits lasts up to 25 years, which means your family will stay fed while others wait for government handouts.
00:29:21.900 Don't delay.
00:29:23.160 Order your three-month emergency food kit today and save $200 per kit.
00:29:28.120 It's easy to order.
00:29:29.720 Go to MyPatriotSupply.com.
00:29:31.600 That's MyPatriotSupply.com.
00:29:33.340 You'll get fast and free shipping.
00:29:35.100 Do this today or you'll regret it tomorrow.
00:29:39.520 MyPatriotSupply.com.
00:29:41.560 MyPatriotSupply.com.
00:29:43.320 Take action, action, action.
00:29:45.780 Do it today.
00:29:46.760 Standards of justice in this country will turn our constitutional republic upside down.
00:29:53.900 Thanks to the political infections within the Biden Justice Department and the FBI, we were well along the road for that to happen.
00:30:07.960 This senator will do all that he can to fight political infection in the Department of Justice and the FBI.
00:30:19.880 And you fight it, then, by bringing transparency to what this government does.
00:30:26.400 The public's business ought to be public.
00:30:30.700 Transparency brings accountability.
00:30:34.240 With respect to the 1023 shown to that House Oversight Committee, from what I've been told by folks who've reviewed it,
00:30:44.800 it's filled with redactions.
00:30:47.040 Now, the document that Comer and I read had maybe two or three half-inch redactions, not all sentences redacted, as I'm told the document in the SCIF is.
00:31:04.460 So, Director Wray placed redactions on a document that's already unclassified, as I've said before, unclassified.
00:31:17.980 More than that, the FBI made Congress review a redacted, unclassified document in a classified facility.
00:31:29.960 That goes to show you the disrespect that the FBI has for Congress.
00:31:39.320 On a previous time on this Senate floor, I think I told my fellow senators that what's so unusual about an unclassified document being given to the public,
00:31:54.180 when, I think it was May the 18th of this year, there was leaked to the New York Times a classified document and even the name of a confidential human source.
00:32:13.620 So, we're kind of in a strange situation here.
00:32:21.180 Classified document can be leaked to the New York Times, but a non-classified document can't be made public to 300 million Americans if they're interested in reading it.
00:32:34.760 Now, accordingly, Congress still lacks a full and complete picture with respect to what that document really says.
00:32:45.240 That's why it's important that the document be made public without unnecessary redactions for the American people to see.
00:32:54.940 Can you believe redacting an unclassified document?
00:33:03.400 So now, let me assist for the purposes of more transparency on this subject.
00:33:09.080 The 1023 produced to the House Committee's redacted reference that the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversation with them.
00:33:30.000 17 such recordings.
00:33:32.940 According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses 15 audio recordings of phone calls between him and then Vice President Joe Biden.
00:33:56.660 These recordings were allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for the foreign national in case that he got into a tight spot.
00:34:07.060 The 1023 also indicates that then Vice President Joe Biden may have been involved in Burma, employing Hunter Biden.
00:34:17.020 Based on the facts known to the Congress and the public, it's clear that the Justice Department, the FBI, haven't nearly had the same laser focus on the Biden family.
00:34:33.980 Special Counsel Jack Smith has used a recording against former President Trump.
00:34:40.380 Well, what is U.S. Attorney Weiss doing with respect to these alleged Joe and Hunter Biden recordings that are apparently relevant to the high-stakes bribery scheme?
00:34:57.180 Getting a full and complete 1023 is critical for the American people to know and understand the true nature of the document and to hold the Justice Department and the FBI accountable.
00:35:12.940 It's also important for asserting constitutional, constitutional, congressional oversight powers against an out-of-control executive branch, obviously drunk with political infection.
00:35:31.180 Remember, Congress has received 1023s in the past, and they've been made public.
00:35:38.580 So asking for this 1023 to be turned over to the American people to read is not an unusual thing that goes on with 1023s.
00:35:51.780 Congress owes it to the American people and the brave and heroic whistleblowers to continue to fight for transparency in this matter and make this document public without unnecessary redactions.
00:36:08.580 And I want everybody to remember that I have read the unredacted version, except for a couple or three half-inch redactions, I'd say.
00:36:23.620 Thank you very much.
00:36:25.680 I yield the floor.
00:36:28.080 Okay, this is a blockbuster because that old Iowa farmer is a tough nut.
00:36:32.360 God bless Senator Grassley.
00:36:34.100 He has done some of the most serious oversight work and the development of these whistleblowers.
00:36:39.660 I have debriefed the whistleblower that brought a lot of this information forward.
00:36:45.040 This is not some low-level special agent somewhere.
00:36:48.800 We're talking about someone high up in the system.
00:36:51.340 You've debriefed the actual whistleblower that we're talking about.
00:36:53.340 Yes, I have, and I found the claims credible, but I want to be very clear about something.
00:36:58.420 Even what's on a 1023 is an allegation.
00:37:01.900 And the important work ahead is not to reflexively lurch into some sort of legislative procedural posture.
00:37:09.100 It is to track down the bank records.
00:37:11.780 It is to look for these 17 audio recordings that I knew were alleged to have existed several months ago.
00:37:20.300 But not all this stuff is in the United States, is my belief.
00:37:23.440 And so there's going to have to be some very serious work.
00:37:26.020 We may have to take some foreign trips to go and hustle it up and ensure that we get the information necessary for our oversight.
00:37:34.040 Because here's, I think, the frustration.
00:37:36.340 Ray and – and we had Garrett Ziegler on yesterday about their great website.
00:37:39.680 You had Ray and Barr, two Republican nominees of President Trump's, had the laptop from hell no later than one December of 19.
00:37:49.080 These allegations come out of Rudy's putting forward to a U.S. attorney at Bill Barr's request in Pittsburgh in a 100-page report in January of 2020.
00:38:00.200 This is June of 2023.
00:38:03.040 I think why –
00:38:04.940 But it's important then to use that analysis to bifurcate the work ahead, right?
00:38:09.020 One is the crime.
00:38:10.600 Did Joe Biden take these bribes?
00:38:12.460 And no one pays a bribe without getting a deliverable.
00:38:15.260 And we already know the deliverable happened.
00:38:17.020 It was the firing of a prosecutor that the bribe payers wanted fired.
00:38:21.380 The other question, which is very important to the country, no less important than Joe Biden being compromised, is whether or not our national security apparatus is compromised.
00:38:29.940 It's the cover-up.
00:38:30.960 It's the effort to take this 1023 that came in from truly one of the best sources that the FBI has, someone who has initiated hundreds of cases that led to real prosecutions.
00:38:43.240 So the opposite of Christopher Steele.
00:38:45.420 This is one of the best sources in the FBI that brought this information forward, and then it was rat-holed. 0.58
00:38:50.440 And it was rat-holed because there are special teams of people at the FBI task forces whose entire job it is to go and find any derogatory information about the Bidens and label it as foreign disinformation.
00:39:02.840 It's the same op that they were running on the outside with the 51 siding the Hunter Biden level.
00:39:09.760 They have a parallel op that they run on the inside to try to discredit and shelve important information that federal law enforcement and the Congress should be able to review.
00:39:19.980 Okay, how is this going to come together in this – you guys are fighting each other.
00:39:25.020 One of the reasons that you're saying in the 20, you're saying we're not being aggressive enough, not that you want to get over your skis.
00:39:32.500 Let me just be blunt about this, okay?
00:39:34.800 For all the people who are saying, Gates, why haven't you moved to vacate in like the last 20 minutes?
00:39:41.060 The answer is a motion to vacate would end the oversight agenda.
00:39:45.700 It would.
00:39:46.340 Take my word for it.
00:39:47.360 It would end the oversight agenda.
00:39:49.280 Because they would use that as a shit against you to fight.
00:39:51.600 Of course.
00:39:52.180 Look, if we moved to vacate, McCarthy would immediately go cut a deal with Hakeem, and the key feature of that deal would be Hakeem Jeffries would have veto power over any subpoena we would send out to get these recordings, to get this information.
00:40:05.440 And as mad and frustrated as we all are at the speaker over this debt limit deal, this oversight work ahead is going to define whether or not we lose the country or not.
00:40:15.080 I really believe it.
00:40:16.320 And while we've got to have a simultaneous strategy in place to put downward pressure on spending, and I've laid that out, we cannot take the eye off the ball when it comes to the first family being compromised and our own federal law enforcement functioning as their plumbers.
00:40:31.520 Walk me through, then, how do you pull this together, given the fight you guys are having every day?
00:40:36.960 Next week you're saying, hey, we're taking the floor back.
00:40:40.060 Until we get a fully negotiated new deal, walk us through how this proceeds.
00:40:44.940 Well, I think these things have to proceed in parallel.
00:40:47.800 What's the saying here in Washington?
00:40:49.340 You've got to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
00:40:51.340 Look, we are in a state of financial crisis in this country with the dollar and just what you described about how the deficits are going to be bigger than they ever anticipated.
00:41:02.640 One of the things we got in Limit Save Grow was that it was a date or a dollar amount to trigger the debt limit again.
00:41:09.400 Whichever came first. 0.56
00:41:10.880 Right now, there's no dollar amount.
00:41:12.400 We would be back here in October.
00:41:14.200 Exactly.
00:41:14.880 And we'd have another chance to win another spending fight.
00:41:17.180 But now we have to use the other tools in the toolbox, right, the tools we developed in January, whether it's zeroing out the salaries of bureaucrats or using points of order against any type of omnibus that would come to the floor.
00:41:29.380 We can't allow Washington to function as usual.
00:41:31.740 But by God, I want to pick up on this work that Senator Grassley and his phenomenal team have done.
00:41:36.180 I want to make sure that we run down every one of these leads that the FBI was unwilling to run down.
00:41:41.520 I want to pull the camera back.
00:41:43.880 We've got two minutes.
00:41:44.520 I know you've got to bounce because you hear a lot of rhetoric thrown around a lot.
00:41:48.020 But Grassley is a very serious person.
00:41:49.840 And I tell people all the time, you're very serious, particularly when you look at things, the reality of it.
00:41:54.300 How deep a problem do we have with the administrative and deep state now that you're finding more and more information about this situation?
00:42:00.440 Well, I mean, this was truly the great win of the Obama Holder administration.
00:42:05.500 It wasn't health care.
00:42:06.060 The great win of the Obama administration is that they were able to vertically integrate some of the smartest operatives that they had in the movement on the left into these positions of power where they count the votes and they decide who the handcuffs go on.
00:42:22.000 And once you kind of control who counts the votes and who puts the handcuffs on people and can charge people, a lot of the senators, congressmen, governors, that becomes a mirage of power.
00:42:34.000 That's not the real power.
00:42:36.360 But I want to pin you down on this.
00:42:38.600 Do you see what I'm saying regarding a motion to vacate killing the oversight agenda?
00:42:43.360 You agree with that?
00:42:44.360 So far better to try to shape the environment.
00:42:47.080 That's a blunt force instrument right now.
00:42:48.380 I am working hard, and the posse is helping me immeasurably.
00:42:51.560 I want to shape the battlefield on the oversight agenda and on the spending front.
00:42:55.860 And I think we've got to do both at the same time.
00:42:57.920 Hey, look, this nation fought a world war in two theaters.
00:43:01.880 I think you and I can fight this war in two theaters.
00:43:03.840 Fantastic.
00:43:04.660 Thank you for doing this today.
00:43:06.200 I know you can't stay with us.
00:43:07.320 How do people get to all your content, the podcast, all of it?
00:43:10.780 Firebrand is the podcast.
00:43:12.480 It's everywhere on the Internet and at Matt Gaetz and at Rep Matt Gaetz.
00:43:15.540 If they want to toss you five bucks, where do they go?
00:43:17.700 MattGaetz.com, funded only by the people of this country, not by the lobbyists in special interest.
00:43:22.320 And I'm the only Republican in Congress who can say so.
00:43:24.340 And you're in your armed services, so you don't take any defense.
00:43:26.960 You don't take any of the defense contractor cash.
00:43:29.180 Yeah, no need.
00:43:30.160 I don't need it.
00:43:30.960 I need the people.
00:43:32.620 Congressman Gaetz, thank you very much.
00:43:34.080 Short commercial break.
00:43:35.020 We're going to toss it back to Miami when we come back in a second.
00:43:38.520 We will fight till they're all gone.
00:43:41.140 We rejoice when there's no more.
00:43:43.060 Let's take down the CCP.
00:43:44.960 In my younger days, I was a naval officer on a destroyer.
00:43:49.560 In fact, I was the A-gang officer in charge of all the engineering systems that were not main propulsion.
00:43:56.020 And one of those was air purification.
00:43:58.360 And I can tell you the standards of the United States Navy are second to none.
00:44:02.660 If all home air purifiers are the same, why did the U.S. Department of Defense select EnviroCleanse to protect and purify the air on board our Navy ships?
00:44:12.140 Because EnviroCleanse, advanced mineral technology goes beyond ordinary HEPA filters to destroy airborne illness causing cold and flu viruses, including COVID.
00:44:24.120 EnviroCleanse is the new science in air purification.
00:44:27.680 And now you can order one for your home.
00:44:30.360 This is how you help stop colds and flus from taking your whole family down.
00:44:34.680 This is how you destroy allergy-inflaming toxins and mold from the air your family breathes.
00:44:39.100 In fact, this hospital-grade technology is so powerful that it promises far fewer colds and allergies and better sleep.

00:45:42.960 They've been after Trump from the beginning.
00:45:46.480 But questions swirl around President Biden's handling of classified documents.
00:45:51.140 Found in President Biden's garage.
00:45:53.360 Multiple classified documents.
00:45:55.200 You and the former president are both now under investigation by the Justice Department.
00:45:59.260 But they didn't indict Biden.
00:46:01.140 Instead, Biden's DOJ went after Trump.
00:46:03.920 Anything to block him from becoming president again.
00:46:06.660 Stand with President Trump against Biden's corruption.
00:46:09.840 Make America Great Again, Inc. is responsible for the content of this advertising.
00:46:13.360 Okay, great ad right there.
00:46:17.880 Let me toss to Natalie Winters in Miami. 1.00
00:46:21.260 And by the way, all the war and posse that's down there once you come by Real America's Voice
00:46:25.520 where war room is.
00:46:26.240 Natalie, there's a lot of activity and commotion.
00:46:28.960 You and Mo, take it away.
00:46:30.040 Tell us what's happening.
00:46:30.740 Certainly, there's been quite a few developments since we last joined you.
00:46:36.160 One, we got the addition of the MAGA hat.
00:46:38.220 But the security presence has certainly increased.
00:46:40.920 They've sort of quartered off the media section.
00:46:42.880 They've probably reduced it by about 75%.
00:46:45.740 But it seems like the primary material that they're using to make these barricades, again,
00:46:50.540 just want to lay markers down here since we know, I've learned from history with January
00:46:54.620 6th, is just police tape on both sides.
00:46:57.200 There doesn't really seem to be any other physical fortifications.
00:46:59.960 There are a lot of personnel here.
00:47:02.660 We have, as you said, had a lot of war room posse come by and say hi, which is wonderful
00:47:06.880 to see them.
00:47:07.800 I can't say the same for NBC, which is next to us.
00:47:10.200 Not a lot of NBC fans here.
00:47:11.520 No shade.
00:47:12.000 But in terms of the protesters, I will say it is starting to heat up a little bit.
00:47:19.500 There's definitely been some back and forth between the pro-Trump people who definitely
00:47:24.000 outnumber the anti-Trump protesters.
00:47:26.000 I will say it is interesting.
00:47:27.800 There was one, I've really only seen one, maybe two anti-Trump banners.
00:47:33.060 But the mainstream media, anytime they see one of the anti-Trump signs, they run over to
00:47:37.840 them faster than I think I've ever seen anyone in the mainstream media run.
00:47:40.580 So I think there is some interesting coverage.
00:47:42.800 It will be interesting to see the bias come out in that regard.
00:47:46.500 But other than that, I would say the police presence is interesting.
00:47:50.340 Like I said, it's mainly personnel as opposed to actual physical fortifications.
00:47:55.320 And also, you asked me earlier about the MAGA base.
00:47:58.760 The MAGA base is already...
00:48:00.080 No, go ahead.
00:48:05.680 No, the MAGA base is already strong.
00:48:07.620 It's not even 11 a.m. yet.
00:48:09.920 And we already see a ton of pro-Trump personnel here with signs, bullhorns cheering.
00:48:17.460 It's going to be...
00:48:18.900 It's going to get even bigger the later on we go today.
00:48:24.180 Mo, let me ask you a question.
00:48:25.900 Is there any separation?
00:48:27.300 Is the police trying to separate the Antifa and anti-Trump elements from our MAGA base there?
00:48:35.400 Are they coming between them?
00:48:37.040 Are they barricading them off?
00:48:38.360 Are they in two different sets of areas?
00:48:41.180 Are they just intermingling?
00:48:42.260 They're intertwined.
00:48:46.400 As of right now, there's only a few counter-protesters.
00:48:50.020 So they have been intertwined, predominantly MAGA support.
00:48:54.000 However, they have not separated the two.
00:48:58.320 We will see later today if the two are separated.
00:49:03.020 Natalie, let me ask you.
00:49:04.300 Is that a recipe for disaster?
00:49:06.580 Because it's going to get a little heated down there, right?
00:49:09.180 Particularly as we get into the afternoon and President Trump is going to be booked with the FBI and then arraigned here.
00:49:14.760 Aren't we looking for trouble unless they're separated?
00:49:18.820 Do we?
00:49:20.520 So, Steve, we are actually being told to move by the police right now as part of all of the media.
00:49:24.900 So I think we're going to have to answer that question in a little bit.
00:49:28.160 Unfortunately, we don't have a choice.
00:49:29.860 We have to go.
00:49:31.060 But we will be back and be giving you breaking updates as they come.
00:49:34.840 Okay, guys, make sure you don't.
00:49:38.520 What we don't need, Natalie, is you and Moe put in the Who's Gow today, okay?
00:49:42.620 We need our coverage.
00:49:44.120 Natalie Winters and Captain Bannon in Miami.
00:49:50.700 Like I said, it's a very fluid situation.
00:49:52.860 Is Ben Berquam out in the crowd?
00:49:55.320 Can I toss to Ben?
00:49:57.820 Hey, Ben.
00:49:58.620 Yes, sir.
00:49:58.880 Hey, you're out in the crowd.
00:50:02.540 By the way.
00:50:03.360 They've just rolled up our coverage.
00:50:06.700 Happy MAGA Pride Day.
00:50:09.140 Happy MAGA Pride Day to all the folks out there.
00:50:11.740 Okay, go for it.
00:50:12.320 I'm sorry.
00:50:14.880 They've just rolled up.
00:50:15.960 I guess they're moving the media right now where the tents are, where the main coverage is.
00:50:20.240 Tell me what's happening to the crowd.
00:50:21.740 But particularly, are they separating out the Antifa and the anti-Trump haters from the MAGA populist patriots?
00:50:32.460 No, let me just move you around. 1.00
00:50:34.080 I'll give you a little view of this.
00:50:35.260 And I want to introduce you to our Navy MAGA posse friend here.
00:50:38.900 So this is, you can see the media, all the tents in the background there.
00:50:41.760 That's all media.
00:50:42.760 As we come out this way, we're more in the front of the courthouse.
00:50:46.420 These are all the protesters and counter protesters.
00:50:48.840 And they kind of keep moving up and down the street.
00:50:50.760 You've got some crazies.
00:50:52.180 I recognize one of the ladies from Washington, D.C.
00:50:54.860 She's out there screaming all kinds of nonsense. 0.99
00:50:57.200 But right now, they're all intermingled.
00:50:59.240 The one thing, the one concern I have and a lot of people have is Antifa and BLM have said that they're going to come out and do what they do,
00:51:07.660 which is violence, which is what they did for four years under President Trump, which is terrorize.
00:51:12.060 And so I anticipate if that ends up happening, the police will end up separating it.
00:51:16.720 Right now, there's some yelling back and forth.
00:51:18.680 But for the most part, it's there's no violence.
00:51:21.160 So it's, you know, we're just people are heated.
00:51:23.660 But this is a media scrum like I've never seen before.
00:51:26.660 It goes all the way down around the building.
00:51:29.280 There's more media here than I've ever seen.
00:51:30.840 Hey, Ben, just hang on.
00:51:33.960 We've got to take a commercial break.
00:51:35.100 I want you to stay right there.
00:51:36.000 We're going to come back.
00:51:36.940 OK, so here let us reestablish.
00:51:39.820 They're shifting the media right now.
00:51:42.500 So Captain Bannon and Natalie, our anchors, are moving around.
00:51:46.540 We've also got Caroline Wren is there for the war room. 1.00
00:51:50.640 And, of course, Ben Berquam, our investigative reporter.
00:51:53.340 What I see so far, I'm not crazy about.
00:51:56.280 And this is one of my observations yesterday.
00:51:59.640 If you're asking for trouble, you let these two groups get together because the never Trump, the anti-Trump, Antifa, BLM are violent people.
00:52:10.760 And they're always there to get in people's faces.
00:52:12.800 They're always there to try to pick fights. 0.99
00:52:14.780 And I'm just an observer here anchoring in Washington, D.C.
00:52:18.420 But I've got to tell you, I'm not enthusiastic about what I'm seeing down there on the crowd control.
00:52:23.160 I think that we're just asking for problems.
00:52:25.960 And what we don't want today is problems, this thing we want to get in and out of.
00:52:30.340 And I hope the Miami authorities and others do the job that the New York NYPD does.
00:52:36.900 And I realize NYPD does this every day, and they're set for that.
00:52:40.160 Miami is not.
00:52:41.720 But somebody's got to think this through.
00:52:43.880 Take a look at those crowd shots.
00:52:45.160 We're going to come back and look at more crowd.
00:52:46.480 We've got Ben Berquam.
00:52:47.780 We have Captain Maureen Bannon.
00:52:49.440 We have Natalie Winters.
00:52:50.800 We've got Caroline Wren. 0.96
00:52:52.460 Hopefully our anchors will be back in place after they move the tent.
00:52:57.040 A very fluid situation.
00:52:58.980 But we're sticking with the signal, not the noise today.
00:53:02.820 Short commercial break.
00:53:03.740 Back in a moment.
00:53:06.900 But we rejoice when there's no more.
00:53:09.440 Let's take down the CCP.
00:53:13.220 Veterans, you know we have been all over this supply chain issue with China and medications and the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
00:53:23.200 China has a stranglehold on us where there's a way to break that. 0.82
