00:00:00.000 Kansas City, where shots have been fired at the end of the celebration for the Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:00:06.340 It is a fluid situation, but here's what we know so far.
00:00:09.940 Officials say 10 people were shot and rushed to local area hospitals.
00:00:14.220 The shooting took place at a garage near the city's main train station.
00:00:18.240 Two people who are armed have been detained for further investigation.
00:00:22.380 Officials are asking people to exit the area as soon as possible.
00:00:25.820 Let's go down to NBC News correspondent Jesse Kirsch, who is in Kansas City, Missouri, with the latest.
00:00:31.260 Jesse, what more can you tell us?
00:00:33.860 Hey, Lisa, I want to flag a picture you're seeing right now.
00:00:37.100 This is a live image from just outside of Union Station on the outskirts of the stage area for the Kansas City Chiefs parade.
00:00:43.500 And you can see authorities appear to be putting someone in the back of a vehicle,
00:00:49.520 someone who was escorted over to this vehicle and placed into it,
00:00:53.400 based on what our photographer has been able to see.
00:00:55.660 And that is the live picture you are seeing right now.
00:00:57.960 So we're going to stay with that picture on our camera so we can get as much footage of it as possible.
00:01:02.600 But I am going to continue talking about everything else that's unfolding out here.
00:01:08.260 And, you know, if you want to show other images, by all means.
00:01:10.480 But we're going to keep the camera over there so we can get as much footage of that as possible.
00:01:13.840 So here's what unfolded.
00:01:15.600 We were at the aftermath, the immediate aftermath of the celebration for the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:01:20.620 For context, this is a town that loves its football team.
00:01:24.820 This was the back-to-back Super Bowl championship parade and rally.
00:01:29.240 Officials expected around a million people could be out here.
00:01:33.000 We have really nice weather.
00:01:35.040 It's around 60 degrees out here.
00:01:36.900 That is something that can always boost the turnout at an event like this.
00:01:41.220 And with so many people in the downtown, that would be like having roughly double the population of Kansas City in this downtown area at the same time.
00:01:51.300 And in this immediate vicinity of Union Station, where the rally was, there were thousands of people out here.
00:01:57.600 The rally had just wrapped up.
00:01:59.280 This was about an hour ago, a little bit more than an hour ago.
00:02:02.920 And then we noticed something did not seem right.
00:02:06.060 We saw people that were running away from the train station.
00:02:10.180 And that is something that you don't expect in the aftermath of a large event, right?
00:02:13.380 Who goes to a sporting event and then runs out of the event?
00:02:16.720 You know it's going to take a while to get out, so you move at a triple pace.
00:02:20.520 People were running away from the area.
00:02:22.760 At the same time, we saw what appeared to be police officers rushing into the area,
00:02:27.560 some of them even looking like they were jumping over the barricades up along the rally stage.
00:02:33.380 And we also, at the same time, had had authorities on rooftops in the area, including at least one long gun position.
00:02:41.100 And we noticed those teams appeared to be taking the situation, not that they weren't taking it seriously to begin with,
00:02:47.000 but if it makes sense, they were paying.
00:02:49.940 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:02:57.600 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:03:02.800 You're just not going to get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:03:07.060 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:03:08.960 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:03:10.400 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:03:13.100 It's going to happen.
00:03:14.140 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:03:17.680 Mega Media.
00:03:19.100 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:03:24.540 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:03:28.300 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:03:34.500 War Room.
00:03:35.500 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:03:44.140 Okay, breaking news out of Kansas City.
00:03:45.800 We're going to go to a press conference here momentarily.
00:03:47.720 Wednesday, 14 February, the year of our Lord, 2024.
00:03:50.780 It's Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent.
00:03:54.000 I want to go to this press conference just in.
00:03:56.000 We're going to start at the top, and I will jump in.
00:03:59.780 Tons of news today on Capitol Hill, but we want to get to the bottom of exactly what happened
00:04:03.660 during this celebratory victory parade today for the Kansas City Chiefs
00:04:08.240 and Kansas City, Missouri, the winners of the Super Bowl.
00:04:11.040 Let's go ahead and play.
00:04:11.880 Let's take it from the top.
00:04:14.140 I'm Marcus, the mayor of Kansas City.
00:04:15.620 I'm joined today by Police Chief Stacey Graves, our Fire Chief, Ross Grundison.
00:04:20.580 After I'm done speaking, Police Chief Graves will give details on the incident that happened
00:04:24.920 earlier today.
00:04:25.940 A few things that I want to make sure we note at the outset.
00:04:29.980 First today, we had 600 Kansas City, Missouri Police Department officers, 250 from outside
00:04:36.200 agencies.
00:04:37.280 We went out today, like everyone in Kansas City, looking to have a celebration.
00:04:42.060 That celebration was marred by a shooting today.
00:04:45.540 And we recognize that there are some who are injured.
00:04:48.460 We are praying for the safety of everyone.
00:04:50.760 I've talked to a few different folks so far.
00:04:53.960 One, we have spoken to the Kansas City Chiefs, who made clear that their prayers are with everyone
00:04:58.500 who was at the parade today, everyone in Kansas City, and everyone who was touched by this
00:05:03.100 incident.
00:05:03.420 They also noted that their players, coaches, and staff are all accounted for at this point
00:05:09.340 and safe.
00:05:10.440 We, however, note that this is a fluid situation, so all that we are sharing now may change as
00:05:14.840 the hours go ahead.
00:05:16.160 We've also received a call from the White House that offered all federal assistance in
00:05:20.380 the investigation.
00:05:21.620 We had federal agencies present today.
00:05:23.740 We appreciate that.
00:05:24.660 And certainly in the days ahead, in the hours ahead, we will make sure we continue to do
00:05:28.540 this work.
00:05:29.420 I will say personally, first, a thank you to the women and men of law enforcement, to
00:05:34.960 the women and men who work with the Kansas City Fire Department and our other agencies.
00:05:39.040 When the shooting started, I, like many others, ran and ran for safety.
00:05:44.200 I saw a number of agencies, including the Kansas City Police Department, officers with guns
00:05:48.740 drawn, who are running towards danger.
00:05:51.160 We thank them for that.
00:05:52.180 As I was leaving the scene, I saw members of our Kansas City Fire Department administering
00:05:57.220 aid to folks who are seriously injured, without concern for the shootings and the challenges
00:06:02.740 that were near them.
00:06:04.160 This is absolutely a tragedy, the likes of which we would have never expected in Kansas
00:06:08.140 City, and the likes of which we will remember for some time.
00:06:11.420 However, I want to say thank you to those who are making sure that we are safe today,
00:06:15.940 those who are investigating this incident, and those who will continue to make sure that
00:06:20.320 those who committed these acts today are brought to justice.
00:06:24.160 We'll come back for some questions at the end of the chief's comments, but now the police
00:06:27.600 chief, Stacey Graves.
00:06:31.060 Chief Stacey Graves, Kansas City, Missouri Police Department.
00:06:33.320 At the conclusion of the chief's rally today, there were shots fired on the west side of Union
00:06:39.960 Station.
00:06:41.560 Immediately, officers responded to the area, took two people into custody, and also immediately
00:06:49.080 rendered life-sustaining aid to those victims.
00:06:51.800 We're still gathering information on the number and the status of victims.
00:06:58.520 But like I said, we know that one of the victims is deceased.
00:07:02.680 We also know that officers ran towards danger.
00:07:06.760 Officers were there to keep everyone safe.
00:07:12.680 I'm angry at what happened today.
00:07:15.800 The people who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment.
00:07:25.960 We had over 800 law enforcement officers, Kansas City and other agencies at the location
00:07:33.480 to keep everyone safe.
00:07:36.040 Because of bad actors, which were very few, this tragedy occurred.
00:07:42.600 Even in the presence of uniformed law enforcement officers, who again ran towards them and took
00:07:49.000 them into custody.
00:07:51.480 To the people who were injured in this tragedy, our hearts go out to you and your families.
00:07:59.080 This investigation is just beginning and we are working safely to clear all surrounding
00:08:03.880 areas and businesses.
00:08:05.240 This is still an active investigation.
00:08:07.880 We will continue to keep you updated.
00:08:10.280 We will keep you updated on Twitter and most likely a follow-up press availability.
00:08:22.760 No.
00:08:24.040 One of our victims has been declared deceased.
00:08:26.600 We have, we have, we have, we have, right now we have up to 10 to 15 injured by, yes, right now we do
00:08:53.080 not have an exact number of people who were victims of a gunshot wound.
00:08:59.240 It could be upwards from 10 to 15 with one deceased.
00:09:05.640 I do not have conditions on our victims just yet.
00:09:07.960 Any believe to be children?
00:09:11.160 I don't, I do not believe that any of them were children.
00:09:13.640 Any law enforcement injured in this?
00:09:15.480 Nothing of note.
00:09:18.360 Chief, what prompted, what do you guys believe now prompted the shooting?
00:09:23.160 We are still, that is still under investigation.
00:09:25.400 I myself was outside when I heard the shots fired.
00:09:27.720 It is an ongoing investigation.
00:09:29.480 It's going to take us a little bit to determine exactly what led up to the shooting.
00:09:33.240 I will say though, we do have two suspects in custody.
00:09:35.880 I have, I have heard that as well.
00:09:44.040 I have heard that, that fans got involved in the apprehension or
00:09:47.800 the pursuit of one of the suspects.
00:09:49.800 I cannot confirm that right now, but that is something that I have heard myself.
00:09:53.480 Yes.
00:09:55.480 Absolutely.
00:10:11.720 As soon as the rally concluded, there were shots fired on the west side of Union Station.
00:10:17.960 Officers were on scene in the area.
00:10:21.480 I know one of the suspects was immediately pursued on foot.
00:10:25.480 Like I said, there's two suspects in custody.
00:10:27.400 I have heard the information that was just requested.
00:10:29.960 I will confirm or deny that.
00:10:33.240 But after that, immediately officers began rendering life sustaining aid,
00:10:38.440 calling in fire, which is the fire department, to also assist those victims.
00:10:43.640 Do you know that there were more than two people taken into custody?
00:10:46.920 Because we had two people, after you guys had made your announcement,
00:10:49.880 there were two people in custody.
00:10:51.080 Right there is that last question.
00:10:52.600 Anyway, they asked the police chief, there's only two people and local TV guys are talking about.
00:10:58.360 So there's a lot of from the Twitterverse coming up.
00:11:02.760 Thank you, Denver.
00:11:04.360 I don't need to share the audio with her.
00:11:06.120 We're eventually going to get this down so we can actually do it.
00:11:11.560 This is live coverage, so thanks.
00:11:15.080 We're not going to chase rapids here, obviously.
00:11:17.080 It's the war room.
00:11:18.520 But there's something very big that happened in Kansas City today.
00:11:21.080 When you have a million people show up in Kansas City, Missouri,
00:11:24.360 twice the number of people that live in the metropolitan area, it's a big deal.
00:11:29.080 It was obviously very celebratory and one of probably the great franchises in modern professional football.
00:11:37.080 And, of course, it ends in gunfire.
00:11:39.320 There's a lot of stuff on the Internet, and there's, do we have it yet?
00:11:43.800 There looks like a middle-aged or maybe slightly older Caucasian male.
00:11:50.040 It looks like he's handcuffed by police, and he's being walked—a number of TV cameras on him,
00:11:54.920 and we're trying to pull TV coverage or TV camera coverage from other sources now.
00:11:59.880 There's also—looks like two or three young African-American males.
00:12:04.920 We're not saying that either the white middle-aged guy or these African-American males did this,
00:12:10.520 but right now it looks like there's footage from the scene that we're there at least handcuffed by police.
00:12:15.160 The police are being very tight on what happened.
00:12:17.720 Two people are under arrest.
00:12:21.160 And as soon as we get more information, we do know the Kansas City police has already stated
00:12:25.400 they don't believe this is related to terrorism, but just criminal activity.
00:12:31.080 So when we get more information, we will share with you.
00:12:33.960 There's some of the local stills coming up on the Internet right now that we're screening,
00:12:39.240 of course, being inundated with information.
00:12:41.160 And as soon as we get more information, we will get back to you.
00:12:44.920 This is a developing story, and it's going to be a big story when we find out who the perpetrators are.
00:12:50.280 So that's why everybody's trying to get the information.
00:12:52.600 It's a little odd that no information has been put out at all by the Kansas City authorities,
00:12:57.640 which is traditionally—I have a rule of thumb about this, but that is inside baseball, as we say.
00:13:05.400 Okay, tragedy in Kansas City, developing story.
00:13:08.280 We're going to be all over this in the next two hours.
00:13:10.120 As we head toward a presidential election in November, one thing you can be sure of.
00:13:14.360 2024 will be a tumultuous year like no other.
00:13:19.080 How will your hard-earned savings fare during this year?
00:13:22.440 You're already seeing the impacts of inflation at the pump, the grocery store.
00:13:26.600 The dollar continues to lose buying power quicker than your wages can increase.
00:13:31.480 How are you protecting your savings?
00:13:34.520 Consider diversifying with gold from Birch Gold Group.

00:14:27.760 Action.
00:14:28.520 Action.
00:14:29.980 Let's reset here for a moment and go to Capitol Hill.
00:14:32.640 Because it's been a crazy day on Capitol Hill.
00:14:34.140 Certainly not as tragic as what went down in Kansas City at the Chiefs Championship Parade,
00:14:41.120 the Super Bowl Parade.
00:14:42.840 But a lot went down today.
00:14:44.780 In the middle of the day, I've never seen this.
00:14:46.780 I'm trying to get, we're trying to get cash.
00:14:49.240 We are going to have Colonel Derek Harvey.
00:14:51.600 Colonel Harvey was the senior staffer under Devin Nunez on the House Intelligence Committee.
00:15:00.380 I think Nunez was the last Republican to be the chairman.
00:15:04.860 He now works with President Trump and for President Trump over at True Social.
00:15:08.880 I think he's the CEO over there.
00:15:11.380 Devin's a very safe and steady pair of hands.
00:15:14.640 Today, Mike Turner, Congressman Mike Turner.
00:15:18.380 And by the way, Brian Costello is also going to join us.
00:15:20.560 Colonel Harvey is going to join us because a lot went on at Capitol Hill.
00:15:23.980 And like I said, we have stuff coming out of Kansas City and we'll get you updates as something solid or meaningful comes in.
00:15:30.540 But as you know, here in the world, we're not going to chase rabbits.
00:15:36.000 I've never seen this.
00:15:38.280 Turner put out a tweet today.
00:15:39.740 In fact, can we put the tweet up if we do have it?
00:15:42.300 Long story short, he put this tweet out that said there was like classified information of an immediate threat that had to be.
00:15:53.080 I mean, this guy's the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
00:15:55.620 He's one of the most important jobs on Capitol Hill.
00:15:57.880 He puts this tweet out that, you know, it's a serious threat and that the president needs to declassify this and the American people need to hear this right away.
00:16:07.580 Well, it shouldn't be lost on you.
00:16:09.860 The Ukraine bills just got dropped off of the House.
00:16:12.000 And the secret House session or the closed House session, first time since 1813, 1815, sometime we're going to burn the Capitol, was supposed to be on Thursday, supposed to be tomorrow.
00:16:29.580 And Turner drops this.
00:16:30.740 And, I mean, it set off fire alarms all over the place, from the stock market to capitals.
00:16:36.100 Like, what in the hell is going on here, demanding President Biden release this information to the American public immediately as like a national security?
00:16:43.920 And then it was immediately leaked, oh, it was something to do with Russia.
00:16:47.160 Surprise, something to do with Russia.
00:16:51.040 I think it was posted or somebody went back on Turner's Twitter feed.
00:16:55.820 Guess where Turner was over the weekend?
00:16:57.740 When the war room posse was sitting there listening to Mike Lee's four-hour speech about why we shouldn't do Ukraine.
00:17:03.660 And why Eric Schmidt and Ted Cruz and even Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, a lot of the neocons, a lot of the super hawks are saying we can't do this Ukraine bill until we secure the southern border.
00:17:17.520 I mean, the number of kind of hardcore neocons said it can't be done.
00:17:20.940 This is not going to be tolerated.
00:17:22.480 Where I come from, they're not going to tolerate it.
00:17:24.200 And it can't happen.
00:17:27.080 Well, his Twitter feed's got him.
00:17:28.340 Guess where he is?
00:17:29.640 Wait for it.
00:17:30.840 Wait for it.
00:17:31.380 Do we have that tweet up yet?
00:17:32.600 When that gets processed, let's put it up.
00:17:35.400 He's in Ukraine with Zelensky.
00:17:37.620 I know that's going to shock you.
00:17:39.260 I know you find that shocking.
00:17:40.440 Look, Turner, and we've had a huge problem with Turner from the beginning.
00:17:44.400 This guy's the one suppressing real investigations.
00:17:47.460 He is a, I don't want to say a country bumpkin.
00:17:51.580 He was the mayor of Dayton after all.
00:17:53.240 But he's the perfect, he's the perfect clown that comes to the imperial capital.
00:18:02.680 And immediately they're telling him, they're rubbing up on him.
00:18:05.360 And this guy's the one that's made the rounds on Meet the Press.
00:18:08.320 And he's on the Sunday morning CNN shows.
00:18:10.760 He's with Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer.
00:18:12.940 And they're saying the head of the house intelligence.
00:18:15.680 And he's all puffed up.
00:18:17.380 And they're with knitted brow, listening for deep thoughts.
00:18:20.940 That, you know, when he was mayor of Dayton, the world's not sitting there waiting for his pronouncements.
00:18:26.560 But now he's head of the house intelligence.
00:18:28.340 So, you know, and they're telling him, you're so brilliant, you're so bright.
00:18:31.760 This is a guy that's going to, out of his way to suppress the investigations of Sequoia Capitol and the rest of this Chinese Communist Party direct,
00:18:41.100 not even influence peddling, direct control of members of Congress.
00:18:45.860 And funding the Democratic Party through Moritz and the rest of the guys over at Sequoia.
00:18:49.820 It's so bad that it was Brian Costello and ours, relentless assaults on these guys that got him to break up Sequoia Capitol into Sequoia Capitol, China, and Sequoia Capitol, USA.
00:19:01.380 Turner's the one of the guys that refuses and refuses and refuses to have investigations.
00:19:08.780 Yet he's all, he's going to see Zelensky and he's a statesman and a big thinker and a huge strategic thinker.
00:19:13.900 And these are the kind of clowns when they blow in off the prairie.
00:19:16.920 The intelligence guys get them right away and they brief them.
00:19:20.700 They say, this is, this is, you know, S-I-T-K.
00:19:22.940 This is super top secret.
00:19:24.140 You can't possibly, this is, you know, the rest of your countrymen can't see this.
00:19:28.240 This is extraordinary.
00:19:29.880 And that's when he starts thinking great thoughts.
00:19:31.640 And that's when he looks in the mirror and he says, you know, you know, he sees is not the bumpkin that rolled in out of Dayton. 0.97
00:19:37.280 What he sees is a world leader, a man of importance, a man of substance.
00:19:43.440 And he has to leave his mark in history.
00:19:46.980 His mark in history is going to be Churchillian.
00:19:48.900 All these guys, look at him all the weekend, they're Churchillian.
00:19:51.100 Jerry Moran of Kansas.
00:19:52.700 Look at all the guys in South Dakota, North Dakota that voted for this.
00:19:57.380 The folks out there in the States, good, hardworking, you know, common sense, traditional American values.
00:20:07.980 They can see through this.
00:20:09.920 This is not what they sent people to, to from South Dakota and North Dakota and Dayton, Ohio.
00:20:16.080 It's not why they sent people to the house.
00:20:18.600 It's not why they sent people to the Senate.
00:20:20.100 They wanted to make sure that their values and quite frankly, their grit and determination and self-reliance and cussedness and, you know, common sense and kind of show me, you know, Eric Smith did Missouri proud.
00:20:38.000 And so did Josh Hawley this weekend.
00:20:40.440 They were magnificent and kind of going through and it's just kind of common sense.
00:20:44.760 Like I'm not buying this.
00:20:45.920 This was the most desperate, and I think you're seeing now the desperate measures.
00:20:53.020 I think Mark Wayne Mullen's running around.
00:20:54.980 He's not working on the discharge petition, but then maybe he's working on the discharge petition.
00:20:59.440 You know, they're trying to either do a, they're trying to do everything that's outside the normal order.
00:21:04.380 Remember, MAGA is chaos.
00:21:07.200 MAGA is anarchy.
00:21:09.380 Donald Trump is an agent of chaos and his followers are domestic terrorists.
00:21:15.920 Well, I would respectfully submit that you are the stability in this country, that you are the center of gravity of the decency and common sense in this country, and that the globalist, of which these guys get sucked into and patted on the head and said, man, you're really smart.
00:21:36.440 How did you get that smart in Dayton?
00:21:38.760 You were really, you're like a global leader, smart.
00:21:42.280 You're going to, you're going to be, you're a man of importance.
00:21:44.480 You're going to leave your mark.
00:21:47.200 He gets out.
00:21:48.000 You think about this day.
00:21:48.900 We're going to have Harvey on.
00:21:50.000 Never in the history of our country, ever, ever since House Intel.
00:21:56.680 Remember, House Intel came out of the, they came out of all the debacle of Watergate and the House Intelligence Investigation on the assassinations and the Kennedy assassination and the, it was, it came out of the Church Commission, essentially.
00:22:10.480 Up until then, there was no Senate Intel and no House Intel.
00:22:14.080 And they finally realized that these intelligence agencies are so out of control, just completely freelancing it.
00:22:21.000 Oh, yeah, they're fighting the communists.
00:22:23.840 We don't know what they were fighting.
00:22:26.360 You had moles all over the place. 1.00
00:22:28.500 You had a State Department riddled with communists back in the 40s.
00:22:31.600 You didn't know, running around the world, starting revolutions and coups and overthrowing things.
00:22:37.120 Just walk down to Foggy Bottom and look at all the communists infecting the State Department and the Roosevelt administration and leading over to the Truman administration. 0.61
00:22:49.260 Remember, Truman was so close.
00:22:50.540 Because Truman's another guy that blew up off the prairie from Missouri.
00:22:53.220 He's a guy that was so, they thought so highly of him, they didn't even tell him about the atomic bomb.
00:22:59.360 But you see, in Oppenheimer, he had pretty good common sense.
00:23:03.600 Kind of that Missouri, I'm not a huge Truman fan, but he had pretty common sense when they started telling him about it.
00:23:09.320 That movie, in fact, if you watch Oppenheimer, it's a movie about the deep state.
00:23:14.080 The movie, the beginning of the deep state.
00:23:16.280 I didn't actually come up with that.
00:23:17.440 One of my young charges after watching, he says, you know, this is a deep state film.
00:23:23.500 Well, that's what the deep state controls Turner.
00:23:27.700 They sent him over to Zelensky and gets the top secret briefings.
00:23:30.960 And these Russians, and they're going to be putting, I don't know, nuclear weapons on the space station. 0.61
00:23:35.380 Or they're going to be doing this or doing that.
00:23:36.900 Mike Davis had a great tweet.
00:23:38.040 Well, dude, if that's what you're talking about, because that's the rumor.
00:23:40.140 They're going to have it on the space station and drop a nuke on Dayton. 0.98
00:23:44.140 He said, just give the $60 billion over to the Space Force.
00:23:47.940 Well, first, we don't have the $60 billion.
00:23:49.600 Mike, but I like directionally where you're going with that.
00:23:51.360 We can't, we got to shut it down with nothing, but I like your direction.
00:23:56.500 This is what, this is how over the top and insane these people are.
00:24:03.080 This shows you the fetish and obsession with Ukraine. 0.97
00:24:08.120 And I keep telling you, and I'm never wrong, when we kind of go in these kind of directions,
00:24:13.800 there's something in Ukraine that is not for the family hour.
00:24:18.480 I'm just saying, there's been so much dark there.
00:24:22.900 It's like in the movie JFK, when they talk about, what is it, Project Anna, kind of the assassinating Castro.
00:24:29.120 He says, don't go there.
00:24:30.620 No, let's not talk about that.
00:24:31.940 That got some critters. 0.99
00:24:34.940 You've overturned that rock.
00:24:36.580 Some roaches are going to run out of there. 0.99
00:24:38.560 Let's not go back and talk about that.
00:24:41.660 Well, that's what House Intel and Senate Intel was set up to kind of oversee.
00:24:45.460 The problem is you have agency capture.
00:24:48.040 They capture these rubes.
00:24:49.540 That's what Turner is.
00:24:50.280 He's a rube.
00:24:52.260 And today he went rube to the 10th power.
00:24:56.600 How humiliating.
00:24:58.360 The president of the United States has to release immediately.
00:25:00.460 Oh, let me see.
00:25:01.880 This wouldn't happen to be about Ukraine or Pfizer or something about Russia.
00:25:06.920 Another phony Russia situation that's going to scare everybody.
00:25:10.400 But here's the good news.
00:25:12.080 Here's the good news.
00:25:13.980 Here's the good news.
00:25:14.900 There's not going to be any secret meeting tomorrow.
00:25:18.060 They're not going to be behind closed doors because they're getting sent home.
00:25:22.440 Johnson's new default position.
00:25:24.040 Hey, I'm not totally against this.
00:25:26.180 I'm for you to keep them working.
00:25:27.580 But you know what?
00:25:28.840 When you're sitting there trying to run every play on you and Hakeem Jeffries, you got guys
00:25:33.500 in the Senate that are Republicans.
00:25:34.800 You got House members that are sitting there saying, no, let's have a discharge.
00:25:39.120 Let's do things that are just never done, not regular order, to try to jam this bill through
00:25:44.620 and everything else and get the FISA extended for everything.
00:25:48.660 Yes.
00:25:49.720 And I'm one of the 26th that's named that they spied on, right?
00:25:53.220 They spied on yesterday.
00:25:55.700 That'll be an interesting class action suit.
00:25:58.520 Matt Taibbi breaking a story.
00:25:59.980 Actually, the piece of it have been out for years, but verifies that they use foreign
00:26:04.100 intelligence agencies to spy on 26 of President Trump's closest associates.
00:26:09.820 So that'll be a quite interesting one as we take that to court, suing certain individuals,
00:26:14.660 right?
00:26:15.460 For hopefully everything that they're worth and maybe more.
00:26:19.940 No, but we've been down this road before.
00:26:22.100 There's nothing they won't do to get people.
00:26:25.420 This is how desperate they are.
00:26:27.680 For the first time, Harvey's going to come on here and say,
00:26:29.860 Derek Harvey and Costello.
00:26:31.780 Costello's going to tell you what a clown Turner is.
00:26:34.400 But Harvey's going to tell you, hey, in the House Intelligence Committee, for a guy,
00:26:38.240 Mike Johnson had to come out.
00:26:39.480 Think about this.
00:26:40.020 The Speaker of the House had to come out like in all caps moments later and say,
00:26:43.620 no, there's not a national security issue.
00:26:46.820 Calm down.
00:26:47.460 It's like that thing at the end of Animal House.
00:26:49.140 You know, please calm down.
00:26:51.020 The Speaker of the House.
00:26:52.480 What that leads me to believe is that Brother Turner put that tweet out by himself.
00:26:58.360 He didn't think he needed to run it by anybody.
00:27:00.320 He said, because you know what?
00:27:01.380 Wolf Blitzer says you're a man of substance.
00:27:03.200 Morning Mika saw you at a cocktail party and said, you know, you really are something.
00:27:09.760 Right?
00:27:10.140 You're really something.
00:27:10.940 Did you go to Georgetown?
00:27:11.920 Did you go to Harvard?
00:27:12.720 Did you go to CSIS?
00:27:13.920 Do you have one of these advanced degrees?
00:27:14.980 Do you have a PhD?
00:27:16.380 You kind of remember, remind me of my father.
00:27:18.400 You kind of remind me of Kissinger.
00:27:20.500 He's all puffed up in the knitted brows.
00:27:22.620 He's thinking, you know, I'm a man.
00:27:23.800 He looks in that mirror.
00:27:25.340 I'm a man of substance.
00:27:27.400 It's not me, Mike Turner, saying that.
00:27:30.040 It's Wolf Blitzer saying that.
00:27:31.800 It's Morning Mika saying that.
00:27:33.900 It's important.
00:27:34.440 Zelensky.
00:27:35.040 Zelensky treats me like a statesman and tells me, takes me into his confidence of how I'm going to save Zelensky.
00:27:41.120 And I'm going to save Ukraine.
00:27:43.060 And be in the history books that we were writing about.
00:27:45.780 Turner of Dayton.
00:27:46.640 This is what you're governed by.
00:27:51.320 A group of fools and buffoons.
00:27:54.960 And this is how we're in this situation with a southern border completely invaded.
00:28:01.160 Now you've got hundreds of thousands of fighting age males from the Chinese cameras, from the PLA, up here with others, with every nation on earth.
00:28:08.920 10 million, minimum, under Biden's watch.
00:28:12.160 And he's sitting there flying to Kiev.
00:28:16.560 Why didn't he just fly down to El Paso, Texas?
00:28:19.580 Would the folks in Dayton that are dying of fentanyl, would the folks in Dayton, the African-Americans and Hispanic citizens are having their wages crushed by the migrants that are all around Ohio driving wages down? 1.00
00:28:29.880 Would maybe they want him down in Lukeville, Arizona, or El Paso, Texas, or Rio Grande City in the Rio Grande Valley, or maybe McAllen, Texas?
00:28:37.860 Pick it.
00:28:38.920 You've got a 2,000-mile border, and they're coming across everywhere.
00:28:42.140 Maybe even go to an Indian reservation down in New Mexico.
00:28:45.720 See if the chiefs will have you down there and let you see what's coming up.
00:28:49.240 The fentanyl and everything is coming up through New Mexico.
00:28:51.060 Why don't you do that, bro?
00:28:51.940 And then why don't you put out a text, we will never, ever consider this bill until the southern border is closed.
00:29:00.300 Why don't we hear that?
00:29:03.240 No, you're not going to hear that.
00:29:05.140 Because they're completely captured by the intelligence agencies, and they're completely captured by the defense industrial complex.
00:29:12.460 Who is going to take care of Gallagher and all these guys?
00:29:14.320 Gallagher is going to get kissed into a big job.
00:29:16.140 Come on, bro.
00:29:17.340 This is the way the system works.
00:29:20.220 You cadets just haven't figured it out yet.
00:29:24.620 And go on Fox, we can cut on TV for stupid people, and just get talking points all day long.
00:29:28.120 How this is so important, so urgent, must be done.
00:29:30.860 This is, you know, Churchill said this.
00:29:33.280 And if we don't do this, they're going to be in Paris next.
00:29:37.720 Yeah, they're going to be rolling through the North German plane. 0.92
00:29:39.900 They're going to be coming through the Folder Gap.
00:29:41.240 They got that tank column, they can't even make it to Kiev.
00:29:45.460 Those brothers are going to be coming, and that's a problem.
00:29:47.920 Of course, the Germans are so important.
00:29:49.620 Remember, Europe is so, this is Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. 0.76
00:29:53.240 It's got to be Russia. 0.75
00:29:53.740 They're being invaded by Syria and by North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, and their elites are doing nothing about it.
00:30:02.240 The country is all being invaded right now.
00:30:04.780 And the biggest threat that the German government has, I don't see them saying anything about the Russians.
00:30:10.760 They're coming to us and begging us to put more money in.
00:30:13.860 All they're taking is alternative for Deutschland.
00:30:15.620 These guys are too right-wing.
00:30:16.800 You know why?
00:30:17.260 Because they say we're being invaded, and they've got to be shut down.
00:30:20.200 So all you do, you see the Guardian, the Financial Times, every day, what is the Germans doing?
00:30:25.240 Are they getting to 2% for their own defense, and maybe even a little more if they're so scared about the Russians?
00:30:30.080 No, they're going to put one-third of their people in their country that are in a party that says,
00:30:35.400 hey, we're being invaded, maybe we're going to stop that alternative for Deutschland.
00:30:37.960 They're going to go put them in prison. 1.00
00:30:39.260 They're going to shut off their financing.
00:30:41.000 They can't even make a telephone call unless German authorities are watching.
00:30:44.140 They're the most significant threat to Germany. 0.86
00:30:46.280 Not me saying that.
00:30:47.480 That's them telling the Guardian, the Financial Times of London, the Times of London.
00:30:53.780 This is embarrassing.
00:30:57.060 This is a clown car.
00:30:59.120 The Democrats are worse.
00:31:00.300 But what you're represented by is the stupid hour.
00:31:07.020 Short break.
00:31:07.520 Colonel Derek Harvey.
00:31:08.820 Brian Costello on the other side.
00:31:10.540 Are you tired of progressive corporations and exhausted trying to keep up with all the virtue signaling when you're simply trying to buy products?
00:31:28.320 Progressive corporate America continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative Americans, all while eroding the future of the American dream.
00:31:39.520 It's prominent all over the country.
00:31:42.260 Companies like Starbucks, strong-arming their customers to support abortion.
00:31:47.120 Financial services like PayPal, canceling customers for their political views.
00:31:51.580 Makeup companies like Maybelline, making a mockery of women by supporting transgender models. 1.00
00:31:56.460 And beer companies like Bud Light, forcing gender ideology on you when all you want is to enjoy a cold beer. 0.98
00:32:04.700 Thankfully, we don't have to fund these companies any longer with our hard-earned dollars.

00:33:23.460 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:33:25.540 Back.
00:33:25.820 Okay, we're going to have some more footage on the Kansas City situation as soon as we can process it and render it and get it in there.
00:33:37.820 But, okay, so you have a big victory today.
00:33:41.540 They went home.
00:33:43.700 There's no, Johnson's not going to consider anything on this bill.
00:33:47.780 Of course, they're working.
00:33:48.840 They're going to work in big time.
00:33:50.220 I believe there's a report, and I think it has been backed up, but I haven't double-checked this, that Johnson put a call in, I think, to the president to go sit down with him.
00:33:59.040 Big mistake.
00:34:00.560 I guess if you're trying to show, okay, we're trying to work it out, we're trying to be bipartisan, we're trying to be good guys, that's fine.
00:34:06.220 If it's for the optics of that, God bless you.
00:34:09.060 Do it.
00:34:10.240 It's a complete waste of time, though.
00:34:12.320 And we should get down to serious business.
00:34:14.120 Here's a serious business.
00:34:15.300 Okay, so they all went home.
00:34:16.260 They're going home.
00:34:16.740 2.30 tomorrow.
00:34:17.880 Senate's already gone for two weeks.
00:34:19.180 They got to get over to Munich and get their pay envelope stuffed with cash.
00:34:23.220 They did their jobs.
00:34:24.780 So they're all over there puffed up.
00:34:26.400 Of course, Lindsey Graham's not going.
00:34:28.860 Lindsey Graham's not going.
00:34:29.940 He says he's not going to Munich.
00:34:31.200 He took 10 minutes from the Senate floor.
00:34:33.040 I'm not going to Munich.
00:34:33.920 I'm not going to Munich.
00:34:34.900 I've got to go to the southern border.
00:34:36.920 I know that's totally unrelated to the South Carolina primary and President Trump.
00:34:42.920 Oh, by the way, Financial Times on the hard copy, and I think we're going to have this in Denver in a moment,
00:34:48.120 guess what?
00:34:49.760 On the Financial Times, lead story this morning.
00:34:53.060 The nations of Europe are right now paying, getting ready to pay 2%.
00:35:00.160 There it is right there.
00:35:01.280 Look at that.
00:35:02.740 Shazam.
00:35:04.620 Shazam.
00:35:06.060 Miraculously, how did that happen?
00:35:08.020 How did that happen?
00:35:09.660 You know how that happened?
00:35:11.620 That's called leadership.
00:35:14.280 That's Donald J. Trump right there.
00:35:16.080 He's forcing them and browbeating them to actually be an alliance, not a protector, and say, look, you guys got to get serious about this.
00:35:25.100 If you think there's all these threats, another thing you got to get serious about, why are we in an alliance that's going to be overrun by invaders from the Middle East and North Africa and, you know, sub-Saharan Africa? 0.91
00:35:40.440 If we want to be in business with those countries, we can make our own decision.
00:35:44.740 We'll go be in business with those countries. 1.00
00:35:46.120 Why do we want to be in an alliance?
00:35:47.160 If we want an alliance, we'll go and cut deals and be allies with countries in North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa or in the Middle East.
00:35:54.880 Actually, technically, we're not even an ally to Israel.
00:35:57.300 It's not a true alliance.
00:35:58.640 They are an ally partner and have been since their formation.
00:36:01.980 You saw how well it worked throughout the Gulf Emirates.
00:36:06.200 They're cutting deals with the Chinese Communist Party right now, as Brian Costello knows.
00:36:10.760 The $7 trillion being raised for artificial intelligence.
00:36:14.400 Where's Sam Altman?
00:36:15.380 Where was Tucker Carlson when he called him out?
00:36:17.420 Dubai.
00:36:18.400 Where's all that money coming from?
00:36:19.760 Right now, it's coming from the Gulf Emirates.
00:36:21.180 Let's say it's going to be the lead investors.
00:36:23.560 Who's cutting deals at long-term output deals with the Chinese Communist Party?
00:36:27.280 Well, let me just some random countries, Saudi Arabia, UAE, the Persians, Iraq.
00:36:35.800 Remember Iraq right now, all interests are controlled. 0.98
00:36:39.520 They're fighting and being controlled by other entities, not American entities.
00:36:43.320 That's $7 trillion flushed for nothing, for zero.
00:36:48.720 Oh, that's right.
00:36:49.360 We did have the election.
00:36:50.280 Remember the Blue Fingers?
00:36:51.360 We had the Blue Fingers.
00:36:52.320 Bush was selling them.
00:36:53.240 Remember the Blue Fingers?
00:36:54.880 I think it was in Afghanistan, too.
00:36:56.180 Remember they had the elections?
00:36:58.280 Democracy, fighting for democracy, freedom and democracy.
00:37:01.660 That's what you're fighting for.
00:37:04.580 Not turning out too well.
00:37:07.000 But we got them sent home, so they're not considering this.
00:37:10.280 And take it as a victory.
00:37:12.140 Remember, we got to move the chains.
00:37:14.700 We're not always throwing the ball downfield.
00:37:16.700 Just let's move the chains. 1.00
00:37:18.940 Okay?
00:37:19.440 Hey, it's not, you know, don't break out the Moet Shandon.
00:37:25.600 Don, but on Valentine's Day, keep the cork in, but at least we got them to go home.
00:37:31.080 And they can't do any more damage when they're out of town.
00:37:33.480 So just scat.
00:37:35.200 Get out of here now.
00:37:36.560 But the FISA, and the big FISA dramatic, you know, it's got to be dramatic.
00:37:39.520 They're going to close.
00:37:40.060 They're going to secret session.
00:37:42.700 Gone.
00:37:43.020 And Turner is being, I think, dragged on social media because he's a buffoon.
00:37:48.900 Bryant, Costello, Turner.
00:37:51.660 His specific responsibilities as head of House Intel.
00:37:55.080 And I can't tell you, this is a very important, that and Senate Intel are quite important.
00:37:59.980 That's why you got to have guys like Devin Nunez, or before him actually Pompeo ran it.
00:38:05.080 But Turner's gone out of his way to kowtow, to big tech, to the big donors, to big money.
00:38:13.360 And he's the first guy out there with the Russians, the Russians, the Russians, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.
00:38:18.300 Brian Costello, your assessment, sir?
00:38:21.180 Yeah, I don't know, Steve.
00:38:22.620 This buffoon decided to wreck everyone's Valentine's Day here.
00:38:25.580 I got a call from a bunch of Wall Street guys thinking it was China-related when he first said it.
00:38:31.400 And everybody was really, really surprised this was Turner running his own Russia hoax.
00:38:36.260 I mean, this guy's a fraud, right?
00:38:38.680 So let's not forget that he's appointed by Leader McCarthy to be the Gang of Eight, right?
00:38:43.520 The Gang of Eight's extremely important.
00:38:46.060 I mean, you have the Gang of Eight sitting there being briefed.
00:38:48.640 And we've got one member of the Gang of Eight, McConnell, talking about going through a tragedy in his family.
00:38:53.800 And this guy decides to pull the fire alarm.
00:38:58.120 I think it was D.C. Drano dug up the pictures of him in Kiev four days ago.
00:39:04.040 My experience, my direct experience with this was when I was dealing with the House Intel team,
00:39:11.100 and they were looking into what the real issue was, which was how China was buying Washington through the billionaire elite crowd,
00:39:18.480 which is a very substantial issue that nobody's looking into now.
00:39:21.860 Now, and Nunes left, and there was a whole Russiagate team doing that.
00:39:26.980 Turner got the job from McCarthy, and he perp-walked out all the people doing the Russia hoax investigation.
00:39:33.680 So this is a guy who's no supporter of Trump.
00:39:35.740 He's no supporter of MAGA.
00:39:37.460 And, you know, as we're seeing stuff come out with Schellenberg and Tebe today,
00:39:41.400 more facts pulling everything together and getting into a wider audience,
00:39:44.900 you know, there's still a substantial issue there, right?
00:39:48.320 Twenty-six people being spied on.
00:39:50.720 So Turner could be dealing today with, you know, we've got a suspicious death related to somebody in the Gang of Eight.
00:39:59.800 We've got it coming out that, you know, the IC was weaponized to try and change the outcome of an election.
00:40:07.140 We've got all sorts of stuff going on.
00:40:08.860 He decides to pull the fire alarm for Ukraine and Russia.
00:40:11.900 It's, like, almost not even believable.
00:40:14.580 No, but hang on.
00:40:16.520 Hang on.
00:40:16.960 I want you to go back to what your Wall Street guys are calling you because Costello's known,
00:40:20.960 not just simply for being here on the War Room, but all of his great Twitter feed,
00:40:24.900 is a guy that knows about the CCP and knows the infiltration scheme.
00:40:30.440 But, like, I got.
00:40:31.380 I mean, I got tons of phone calls from guys going, what in the hell is going on here?
00:40:34.540 I mean, this is never.
00:40:35.680 Look, it's only been around since, I think, 78 or 79.
00:40:38.860 But no House intelligence members ever put out, either on a TV show, radio show, or through Twitter,
00:40:44.560 that we have a national security issue and the president's got to unleash all this.
00:40:49.400 The American people have to know about an imminent threat, an immediate threat.
00:40:53.600 And people are going, oh, my God, what's happening?
00:40:55.320 Are they getting ready to drop a hypersonic weapon on New York City with a nuclear tip on it?
00:41:00.020 I mean, people don't know.
00:41:00.860 People call me and go, what's going on?
00:41:02.640 How important is this?
00:41:03.460 How big a deal a guy would have to do that?
00:41:05.140 Then you find out later when Johnson comes in, I don't know, 20 minutes later,
00:41:08.920 and puts this thing out, like, calm down, all caps,
00:41:11.580 you realize this clown just, he's just soloing.
00:41:14.740 It's Free Ranger, right?
00:41:16.480 I mean, what kind of person does that, sir?
00:41:19.220 He's got no national security people next to him.
00:41:22.440 He brought his whole staff over.
00:41:24.320 He's got no national security experience.
00:41:27.080 He took, you know, some of the best people that Devin Nunes had assembled,
00:41:30.300 who really understood the system, walked him all out the door.
00:41:37.240 You know, so, yeah, this guy is, you know, he shifted the focus to trying to shift the focus to,
00:41:42.860 you know, Russia walking through Europe and, you know, with a European fetish he has.
00:41:47.660 I mean, part of me thinks it's as simple as he wanted to be on the plane to Munich to collect the cash
00:41:52.340 and was desperate and trying to figure out how to do it.
00:41:56.480 You know, it's just, it's baffling that this guy is in any, Steve, the entire,
00:42:02.800 I don't even know who's on your show today.
00:42:04.920 Almost everyone you have on your show will be more qualified for that position than he is.
00:42:10.460 Oh, there's no doubt.
00:42:11.560 I mean, he's the mayor of Dayton.
00:42:12.640 And get me wrong, Dayton's a great town.
00:42:14.540 Love Dayton, love Ohio, love that part of Ohio, great people.
00:42:17.140 But a guy with no experience, McCarthy tapped him because he is a stooge.
00:42:23.820 He's the guy that tapped because he's not, you know, he's not the sharpest pencil in the stack.
00:42:32.240 He's got a role to play.
00:42:33.520 The role is to kind of be a doofus. 0.89
00:42:35.380 And he plays that role well because he is a doofus.
00:42:38.560 And today proved it.
00:42:40.320 He should resign immediately.
00:42:41.560 Johnson's your fine.
00:42:42.300 You've got to replace your chairman.
00:42:43.580 How can you let a chairman of a committee essentially cause a national security-like meltdown in the country of capital markets and everything else?
00:42:52.720 And the guy, he's just grifting for Ukraine.
00:42:55.600 It's clearly his buddy.
00:42:56.400 He's rubbing up on his buddy Zelensky.
00:42:58.220 Or, you know, to tee up the secret FISA means are going to take place.
00:43:02.420 Johnson was right.
00:43:03.240 Shut it all down.
00:43:04.480 Hang around to 230.
00:43:05.400 Let's get the hell out of here.
00:43:07.020 These people are out of control now.
00:43:09.000 And Johnson's one of his biggest critics.
00:43:10.800 But now you're seeing the nest of vipers that McCarthy left.
00:43:16.580 And Johnson ought to go through and start taking some tips.
00:43:18.780 He ought to be firing some people.
00:43:20.640 Mark Green just quit today.
00:43:22.620 I think Mark Green, a pretty good guy.
00:43:24.400 West Point grabbed a pretty good guy over DHS.
00:43:26.360 I think he just announced he's retiring, not going to run again.
00:43:29.160 And that was, I think, a big deal for him because I knew him before he was in Congress.
00:43:33.000 And it was a big deal for him to run and then become chairman of DHS.
00:43:36.180 So this is not a small deal.
00:43:37.680 So let's go to, when you say the Gang of Eight, that is the House and the Senate people,
00:43:41.820 they get even more classified information in the General House.
00:43:45.280 And if the president wants to do a clandestine action, it's called a presidential finding,
00:43:49.660 you have to go to the Gang of Eight because it was so out of control in the 50s, 60s, and 70s,
00:43:54.980 this was the mechanism that was set up to kind of bring the people's representatives into.
00:43:59.520 So this is just a select group of people directly related, the majority leader,
00:44:03.980 minority leader on the House and Senate intel.
00:44:07.940 Okay?
00:44:08.480 So, but you have a member of Gang of Eight, that would be brother Mitch McConnell,
00:44:12.420 that has a family member.
00:44:14.600 And this story gets curiouser and curiouser, sir.
00:44:19.380 What do we know about his sister-in-law?
00:44:21.420 So here's what we know.
00:44:23.860 So tragically, and again, I know we covered this this morning, but, you know, when there's
00:44:28.780 a passing, you can never offer enough condolences, I think.
00:44:32.920 Mitch McConnell's sister-in-law, Elaine Chao, so, or Angela Chao, Elaine Chao's sister,
00:44:40.140 suddenly passed away.
00:44:43.040 We believe it's now being reported on their ranch in Texas, and the Tesla she was driving
00:44:49.820 was found in a pond.
00:44:51.480 Her husband is Jim Breyer.
00:44:53.500 Her Jim Breyer is a famous investor, invested in Facebook, was one of the early investors
00:44:59.580 in Facebook, and then went off and started funneling a lot of money into China through
00:45:03.840 a company called ADG.
00:45:05.520 He's on the board of another big China investor, which is, I believe he's on the board of Blackstone.
00:45:10.980 You know, so he's got a lot of China exposure, and here everybody's kind of shocked, right?
00:45:18.300 It's like there's a mysterious passing away of, you know, a prominent woman who was on
00:45:25.580 the board of directors of the Bank of China, was involved in the, you know, McConnell-Cow
00:45:30.940 shipping company, had done a lot in the shipping community, the shipping community is disrupted,
00:45:36.260 and there's just mystery.
00:45:37.460 There's no information.
00:45:38.260 There's all these articles on Elaine Chao and her relationships and everything else,
00:45:42.620 and all at the end, it says there was a car accident.
00:45:46.600 You know, and it was reported by Kyle Bass on Twitter this morning, and it started leaking
00:45:51.080 out last night that this was more drowning than a car accident, and that it was a car
00:45:58.080 on their ranch outside of Austin, Texas.
00:46:00.320 So there's a lot more to become on this.
00:46:03.140 You know, we're hearing rumors that there, you know, and this would certainly be substantiated.
00:46:09.300 You know, Brian and Carr are very wealthy, so it's very realistic to believe that there
00:46:14.280 is video footage or video cameras on the ranch, and we're hearing that's in the possession of
00:46:19.300 the county people down there.
00:46:21.680 So we expect more to come out on this.
00:46:24.480 So here's Turner, right, sitting.
00:46:26.140 Brian.
00:46:27.040 Go ahead.
00:46:28.820 You know, here's Turner sitting.
00:46:31.060 Here's Turner sitting.
00:46:32.100 You know, we've got some real concerns.
00:46:33.700 We've got a lot of Chinese people coming over the border.
00:46:36.500 We have a prominent Chinese national married to a U.S. billionaire who suddenly passes, you
00:46:42.680 know, and everybody's a little bit on the edge of the seat.
00:46:44.900 What is this, right?
00:46:46.620 What is this?
00:46:47.500 And, you know, all of a sudden, he tweeted out, I first, everybody reached out to me.
00:46:51.160 They thought it was China.
00:46:53.740 The old China hands are watching this. 1.00
00:46:56.180 Brian, real quickly, what's your Twitter account?
00:46:58.000 Where do people follow you for all breaking news?
00:47:00.660 On Twitter, BP Costello.
00:47:04.960 Brian, fantastic.
00:47:06.180 Stay on top of this.
00:47:07.120 Thank you, sir.
00:47:08.280 Yeah, thank you.
00:47:08.780 So we've had a fiasco today, and I'm not even getting to the good stuff.
00:47:12.740 The good stuff is Gates and McCarthy.
00:47:17.920 That's the good stuff.

00:49:06.660 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:49:12.180 Look, I could be dead wrong on this, and I don't want to get ahead of this story.
00:49:15.760 We're waiting.
00:49:16.220 At 6 o'clock, I hear it's going to be Kansas City.
00:49:18.040 We're going to go back to a press conference, and we'll see what's going on from the authorities' side.
00:49:22.460 I know there's all kinds of rumors popping up on the Internet,
00:49:25.380 but let's wait until we have at least the official word that we can drill down on it
00:49:29.340 and see if it's all straightforward or a little spin.
00:49:33.640 As you can tell, it's in turbulence, times of turbulence.
00:49:35.800 And in Capitol Hill, remember, you're the stability.
00:49:40.600 You are, because of your phone calls, your emails to the local office, et cetera,
00:49:46.640 that's where they're frozen on Ukraine.
00:49:50.160 Frozen.
00:49:51.200 Where they're going to the music, they're frozen.
00:49:53.320 And that's why Johnson feels somebody's got his back, right?
00:49:56.780 Because remember, he's got people around him, these McCarthyists around him, 0.68
00:49:59.400 that want to fund the Ukraine and screw the southern border.
00:50:02.720 It's all coming in March.
00:50:04.900 March 1st.
00:50:05.620 That's just a couple of weeks away.
00:50:06.720 That's why I really want everybody that's in the local area,
00:50:11.360 or if you're coming in, go to CPAC.
00:50:12.940 Go to cpac.org slash worm.

00:51:59.020 live shows,
00:52:00.040 Real America's Voice doing it upright.
00:52:01.940 Also, times of turbulence.
00:52:04.040 I think it's turbulent
00:52:04.880 when the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee
00:52:09.780 puts out a tweet
00:52:12.080 that really gets everybody shocked
00:52:13.960 like the Russians are about to launch on us. 0.57
00:52:16.700 Wants the President to unleash classified information.
00:52:19.060 I mean, just a weirdo.
00:52:21.160 Only a weirdo would do that.
00:52:22.740 Only a guy thought he was so self-important.
00:52:24.660 Just a weirdo.
00:52:25.380 And people, quite frankly,
00:52:27.360 in Dayton, Ohio,
00:52:28.580 you ought to be,
00:52:30.340 you ought to tell him what you think of it.
00:52:32.500 That that's not the way you want to be represented.
00:52:34.520 You're good, hardworking people.
00:52:36.720 And I realize they call him
00:52:37.720 the congressman from Wright-Patterson.
00:52:40.280 And the missile maker that's out there,
00:52:41.840 there's a missile manufacturer right out there.
00:52:43.640 Wright-Patterson got tremendous patriot out there.
00:52:45.600 You're not being represented appropriately.
00:52:48.580 You're being represented by Bozo the Clown.
00:52:52.160 But that's, it is what it is.
00:52:53.820 That's why, Birch Gold,
00:52:54.900 you're going to have to look at hedges
00:52:56.600 for your financial future
00:52:58.880 because they're just burning money in Washington, D.C.
00:53:02.000 and they're not going to stop until we stop them.
00:53:04.140 That's why March 1st is such a big date.
00:53:06.860 Hey, and we got a few tire tracks on us.
00:53:09.720 Right?
00:53:10.240 They're going to run over you if they can. 0.87

00:53:24.060 I think, the press conference.
