Bannon's War Room - Episode 4121： Wray Surrenders to Trump

00:00:00.160 Ray did not have to do this. I want to be very clear here. Trump hired him to serve a 10-year term.

00:00:06.340 That's the law. This isn't just plucked out of thin air. In fact, the law was passed in 1976

00:00:11.860 with overwhelming bipartisan support, and it was part of the post-Watergate government reforms.

00:00:18.980 It says clearly, the term of service to the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation

00:00:22.980 shall be 10 years, and a director may not serve more than one 10-year term.

00:00:28.260 Now, the reason we have those term limits, and the reason we try to insulate FBI directors

00:00:33.140 from presidential appointments, is, of course, J. Edgar Hoover, who ran the FBI and its precursor

00:00:38.380 for almost half a century until his death in 1972.

00:00:42.460 There's thousands of people in the FBI. I think folks at the Hoover building are probably,

00:00:46.800 you know, worried about the fact that Kash Patel says he wants to evacuate the building

00:00:52.180 and turning it into a museum of the deep state. But as a whole, you have an FBI that is

00:00:58.240 pretty conservative politically, I think it's fair to say, maybe one of the more conservative

00:01:03.480 arms of the U.S. federal government. And that email and who the deputy director,

00:01:08.220 who is going to be the deputy director, and what is that email he got?

00:01:10.440 Yeah, so Paul Abade is the deputy, but he got this email very shortly after January 6th saying that,

00:01:17.820 you know, Fox News is on and a lot of our various field offices saying that essentially a lot of

00:01:23.160 people were supportive of what happened. And there is this contingent, especially it's a group that I've

00:01:27.780 learned is pretty closely connected to Kash Patel of the so-called suspendables who have really been

00:01:33.540 working pretty closely with Kash Patel. So, I mean, there is definitely a contingent within the FBI of people

00:01:39.320 who are just kind of not happy with the way that things are going and supportive of Donald Trump

00:01:45.220 in general and supportive of major reforms. You have a group of individuals outside of the bureau,

00:01:49.760 now former FBI special agents who, you know, really do want the FBI sort of busted up and

00:01:54.600 sort of shattered in a lot of ways.

00:01:57.380 Chris Wray had a chance to stay in there and fight like Jay Powell, who said, I'm not going anywhere.

00:02:02.760 And the thing about Donald Trump is we've seen in the past, a lot of times he will push up to the line

00:02:08.860 and hold and wait. Shouldn't Wray have stayed in there for the sake of history? So history would record

00:02:18.260 that Donald Trump fired two FBI directors, unprecedented, one of them, an FBI director that

00:02:25.400 he actually appointed himself.

00:02:26.700 I think he should have stayed 100 percent. We were counting on him, too. You know, everybody's

00:02:32.160 got to kind of hit the barricades right now and do what's best for the country, not what's best for

00:02:37.340 themselves or what's best for an agency. And I thought this was a unique opportunity to have a

00:02:42.620 one of those guardrails. We have so few that at least there would be a continuity there in FBI so

00:02:50.440 things wouldn't go harem scarum right after the inauguration. But alas, now Trump's going to get

00:02:57.080 the FBI. And that's if there is such a thing as a Department of Revenge and Retribution,

00:03:03.160 that's where it's going to be emanating from, from Kash Patel and the people he brings in.

00:03:08.180 And I think it's unfortunate that Ray could have stayed in maybe three months, six months in and

00:03:13.180 then perhaps backed out.

00:03:14.780 Hey, Alamany, I'm curious if what we just heard here is reflected in the thoughts on Capitol Hill.

00:03:20.340 You've got a number of different nominees like Pete, who Pete Hegseth, who he's unqualified.

00:03:28.200 These are just facts. And he's behaved in ways that may disqualify him.

00:03:33.000 And there are just questions in terms of his basic ability to do a job.

00:03:37.540 Then there are nominees or ideas like Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard.

00:03:42.940 These are people who have outwardly engaged or spoken in ways that are dangerous to American

00:03:49.000 democracy. If I've said that right, are Republicans showing that they are aware of this distinction

00:03:56.340 and that they are aware of the dangers at stake?

00:03:59.080 Yeah, Mika, well, there's actually sort of two tracks of mine going on on Capitol Hill right now,

00:04:04.920 according to the number of people I spoke to yesterday after the news of Ray's resignation.

00:04:11.160 One of them being the nominations track going on, but also the fact that this news comes on the tails

00:04:16.720 of the Justice Department inspector general announcing that the Trump administration had previously used

00:04:24.220 concerning and surreptitious tactics to monitor congressional staffers and to Democratic lawmakers

00:04:30.340 and obtain their communications, that there is very clearly a precedent here for Trump abusing

00:04:36.140 some of the vast powers of surveillance that the Justice Department has.

00:04:41.340 And as Kash Patel has basically clearly stated that he plans on doing,

00:04:48.080 we know that there were 43 congressional staffers whose communications were monitored as a part of

00:04:54.060 investigations into who was leaking to potentially to reporters during the Justice Department and

00:05:01.620 the FBI's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election. And this is something that

00:05:08.200 that was top of mind for many of the staffers that I spoke with yesterday who flagged this inspector

00:05:13.740 general's report. But in terms of the nominations, these things all sort of feed into one

00:05:18.040 another. Kash Patel is someone, as is Tulsi Gabbard, who have kind of flown under the radar

00:05:23.800 and sort of sailed through the process so far as a result of all of the scrutiny that's been on

00:05:29.060 Pete Hegseth, whose nomination for now has has been relatively stable. We saw a number of

00:05:35.000 of noncommittal statements about the candidates meeting with Republican senators throughout the week

00:05:43.460 this week for one on one meetings. But right now, other than the usual suspects, Susan Collins,

00:05:50.740 Lisa Murkowski and Mitch McConnell, there is not a lot of opposition to these people. There are some

00:05:55.700 sort of milquetoast concerns, especially about Tulsi Gabbard, but not about Patel for the reasons that

00:06:02.260 that that we're talking about. So, you know, I talked to a Trump administration, a Trump transition

00:06:07.140 official last night who says that that they're really not concerned with many of their nominees

00:06:13.540 at the moment and feel like their approach, especially with Hegseth of fighting his detractors,

00:06:20.980 has really been effective.

00:06:22.340 Elect Donald Trump.

00:06:50.980 USA! USA! University of Tulsi Gabbard, USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! Russia!

00:07:14.300 USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

00:07:14.580 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:07:23.200 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.

00:07:28.440 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:07:32.700 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:07:34.620 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:07:36.040 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:07:38.720 It's going to happen.

00:07:39.780 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:07:43.400 Mega Media.

00:07:44.580 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:07:50.180 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:07:53.940 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:08:00.340 War Room.

00:08:01.160 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.

00:08:03.560 Thursday, 12 December, Year of Our Lord, 2024.

00:08:12.160 President Trump.

00:08:14.360 Man, oh man.

00:08:15.420 It's just, he's dropping, not just bombs, but you know, he is a blunt force instrument and he's leaving blunt force trauma.

00:08:27.500 Blunt force instrument, leaving blunt force trauma.

00:08:30.880 Now, here's all their big talk.

00:08:33.200 We're going to resist this.

00:08:34.220 We're going to do this.

00:08:34.980 We're going to have this.

00:08:35.740 We got this.

00:08:36.760 So Mark Alliance, take your number two pencil and write this down.

00:08:40.240 You're getting crushed right now.

00:08:42.620 You're getting crushed across the board.

00:08:44.780 If you're going to be a strategist and not just some hack lawyer that's in places like North Carolina trying to steal or in California trying to get your guys to print ballots all day long because the local laws enforce you.

00:08:55.900 But you really want to get it together, get it together.

00:09:01.280 You've got to have your folks.

00:09:02.980 The first thing you've got to do is it's the way you project.

00:09:08.060 You can't ever show fear.

00:09:10.980 If you show fear, we're just going to run the tables on you.

00:09:14.880 Like you would have done us if we'd shown fear.

00:09:17.440 President Trump never showed fear.

00:09:20.120 The War Room Posse never showed fear.

00:09:21.740 Peter Navarro, Boris Epstein, Dan Scavino, Kash Patel, others, people put in prison, Tom Barrack, the newly announced ambassador to Turkey.

00:09:38.460 They gave him diesel therapy, shackled him and put him in a prison, I think, for 10 days.

00:09:43.160 And a nasty one, too, to try to break him, try to gain a role on Trump, didn't do it, went to trial, boom, testified, I think, for five days.

00:09:49.920 He's acquitted.

00:09:52.860 That's fearlessness.

00:09:55.040 You people are like little children.

00:09:58.760 We can smell the fear.

00:10:00.820 We see the confusion.

00:10:02.300 And now it's just double and triple down.

00:10:05.640 There's a great article, I think by Haberman and Swan today, about the Pete Hicks' situation.

00:10:12.460 And I've got a quote in there.

00:10:15.220 You know, the fixed bayonets, no more Gateses. 0.97

00:10:17.840 No more Gateses. 0.81

00:10:19.500 They just told you right there in the shows.

00:10:21.520 The one thing we didn't show with Jackie Alamey.

00:10:24.500 Alamey? 0.98

00:10:25.220 Jackie Alamey?

00:10:25.840 She's a young reporter over the Washington Post.

00:10:27.720 Very aggressive.

00:10:28.900 Very good.

00:10:29.760 She's always bird-dogging stories.

00:10:31.420 A Trump hater and an anti-MAGA.

00:10:34.400 But she's relentless.

00:10:36.700 Morning Mika.

00:10:38.120 And she's one of the rising stars.

00:10:39.480 She's one of the ones they're trying to promote. 0.99

00:10:40.940 You know, this person is a young rising star.

00:10:44.020 That's where she gets great slots on Morning Joe and in the evening shows. 0.85

00:10:48.140 You can kind of pick who the talent is by where they position them.

00:10:53.100 We didn't have time to do it.

00:10:54.480 Morning Mika literally cut her off when she said that, hey, it's some token resistance.

00:10:59.540 It's all phony.

00:11:00.520 They're all going to get confirmed.

00:11:04.240 They're all going to get confirmed.

00:11:05.900 Boom.

00:11:06.400 Let's go to commercial break.

00:11:07.380 I'm sure she got chewed out afterwards by the Morning Mika crowd. 1.00

00:11:12.240 You can't say that.

00:11:15.200 And then the professors right there, on Chris Hayes last night, the smart people last night

00:11:18.980 in the Alex Wagner show and the Chris Hayes show, because the rest of us, and Stephanie

00:11:23.800 Rule, they're all sitting there going, oh, my God, why didn't he stay?

00:11:28.120 Why did he leave?

00:11:29.420 He capitulated.

00:11:30.400 Ray capitulated.

00:11:31.620 He capitulated to us.

00:11:33.880 He capitulated to President Trump.

00:11:35.340 He capitulated to what he's known he's done.

00:11:38.300 Now, it's just rumor.

00:11:40.420 So I don't know this for a fact, but I'm hearing, you know, the buzz go out that maybe

00:11:44.480 the IG report is sometime in the near future.

00:11:49.680 The IG report on January 6th.

00:11:52.460 Note to self, put this in your notebook.

00:11:54.520 Write this down.

00:11:55.280 Hmm.

00:11:56.580 Interesting.

00:11:57.940 It's just 12 December, the year of the Lord, 2024, about in mid-December.

00:12:02.400 Wow.

00:12:02.920 We're about a month after the election.

00:12:05.340 This thing's been done for a while.

00:12:07.440 Hmm.

00:12:08.200 Why didn't it come out like a month before the election?

00:12:11.380 I'm asking for a friend.

00:12:12.960 Curious minds want to know.

00:12:19.800 Ray.

00:12:20.280 They needed Ray to stay for a year.

00:12:25.180 They needed Ray to stay for a year.

00:12:27.600 Brennan needed him.

00:12:29.100 McCabe needed him.

00:12:31.740 The Biden, the Merrick Garland needed him.

00:12:35.180 They needed him.

00:12:36.540 They needed him to stand in the breach.

00:12:38.700 If he had stood in the breach, here's their theory of the case.

00:12:42.040 If he stood in the breach, and you look at the converging forces of what we talk about

00:12:44.980 all the time, the war, the debt, and the invasion.

00:12:48.020 Let's just keep it simple.

00:12:48.900 The war, the Third World War, the kinetic part, where our – and can we get Admiral Stavridis

00:12:55.640 up on MSNBC?

00:12:57.240 Can we actually understand – I just – I don't get this, Admiral Stavridis and all you NATO,

00:13:04.220 it's the most greatest alliance.

00:13:05.700 Why is a NATO member Turkey bombing everybody down there, bombing Kurds, bombing Christians?

00:13:11.720 The Ottoman Empire is on a roll. 0.97

00:13:14.320 They unleashed ISIS, and they unleashed Al-Qaeda, and they unleashed – because it's all Muslim 1.00

00:13:18.900 brotherhood.

00:13:20.800 It's all Muslim brotherhood.

00:13:22.060 You got the Persians on one side, and you got the Muslim brotherhood. 0.66

00:13:24.300 Hamas is Muslim brotherhood, and I don't want to hear, oh, they got Persian back. 1.00

00:13:29.100 They got some, but it's Muslim brotherhood.

00:13:32.020 And Hezbollah is a proxy army for the Persians. 0.71

00:13:34.640 It's got the Persians and the Turks. 1.00

00:13:36.820 Turks playing the Muslim brotherhood game. 0.88

00:13:39.960 Persians playing their game. 1.00

00:13:41.820 So you got the war, you got the debt, and you have the invasion.

00:13:46.900 And all they're doing is – and here's their feeling.

00:13:49.620 If they jam Trump up enough, they jam Trump up enough that the investigations in the deconstruction

00:13:58.560 of the administrative state will have to be put on the back burner because the three

00:14:02.320 converging things are on – they're going to all converge on a point, and they're doing

00:14:05.560 everything right now possible to make sure they chop block him.

00:14:10.140 So they need Ray to hang. 0.99

00:14:12.700 Ray, bro, you got to hang. 0.97

00:14:14.160 If they can't get to the FBI, you can't get to the investigative apparatus. 0.56

00:14:18.000 Main justice and even the U.S. attorneys, they're kind of nothing without the investigative

00:14:24.400 power of the FBI.

00:14:26.680 This is why we want to seize the institution.

00:14:29.040 Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

00:14:31.520 To take it away from the lawfare crowd, to take it away from the people who tried to destroy

00:14:35.820 this country.

00:14:37.580 Ray understands that, hey, guys, note this in Morning Joe and Evening MSNBC and the New

00:14:42.780 York Times and the Washington Post, all the media information war.

00:14:46.420 He capitulated.

00:14:48.420 He capitulated.

00:14:49.220 He surrendered.

00:14:50.620 He walked out with the white flag, hands up.

00:14:54.120 White flag, hands up.

00:14:55.740 I give up.

00:14:56.500 Please treat me well.

00:14:58.920 Next in the world.

00:15:00.160 Big victory on 5 November.

00:15:02.500 Now the work can finally start on the big issues facing the country.

00:15:06.080 One of the biggest is the national debt and the deficits that drive it.

00:15:11.120 Hey, you think the country's broke?

00:16:20.220 Cabinet position where a new president comes in.

00:16:22.760 He picks his new team.

00:16:24.240 Christopher Wray has a 10-year appointment.

00:16:27.240 Obviously, there's been a ton of public pressure, but he's choosing to step down.

00:16:31.000 Is it fair to say Trump's pressure kind of forced him to do it?

00:16:36.320 This is an important point that the public needs to understand.

00:16:40.020 And this is not normal.

00:16:41.280 A 10-year term is deliberate for an FBI director, for all FBI directors after J. Edgar Hoover,

00:16:47.080 to prevent both a director taking too long in office, Hoover was there for 40 years,

00:16:52.940 but also to ensure that this wasn't a political assignment where you'd leave with every new

00:16:58.300 administration.

00:16:58.920 So 10 years was the designated term.

00:17:01.820 What Chris Wray decided to do today was to really do something that further politicizes

00:17:09.500 the FBI.

00:17:10.080 He's attaching his decision to an incoming president who doesn't like him and has announced

00:17:16.100 that he's going to fire him.

00:17:17.440 And I would have preferred that Chris Wray decided to make Trump fire him, break another

00:17:23.240 norm, and go down in history for someone who fired two FBI directors.

00:17:28.700 But that's not what's happening today.

00:17:30.280 I'm really worried about the rank-and-file men and women of the FBI today and moving forward,

00:17:35.600 and then ultimately the future of the FBI as an agency that's going to remain neutral,

00:17:41.420 not become an arm of the White House.

00:17:44.520 We've got a nominee in Kash Patel who's not only not qualified, but more importantly,

00:17:50.200 has said repeatedly he intends to go after people for doing their job, for prosecuting,

00:17:55.980 for investigating, journalists, for being in the media.

00:17:59.420 That's not who Chris Wray was, and that's not who the FBI is.

00:18:02.860 Agents who think he should have been more forceful in defending the Bureau against Trump,

00:18:06.740 but he chose to go the quiet route, and I respect that.

00:18:10.620 Okay, but I've read through his transcript of his town hall employee meeting today a couple

00:18:15.640 of times, and what he's saying is that he thought it was better for the institution.

00:18:20.740 I think the fear was that if he was going to get fired, Trump was going to have to gin

00:18:25.100 up some kind of dirt, some kind of slaps on the FBI, as if we haven't heard enough of that

00:18:30.880 from Trump, that would further drag the Bureau and the men and women of the Bureau through the

00:18:36.000 mud.

00:18:36.240 And what Chris Wray is saying today is, we don't need that to happen.

00:18:40.480 I'll get out before he fires me.

00:18:42.880 I am, look, with regards to headquarters, which Kash Patel claims he was going to shut down

00:18:47.280 on day one, people are starting to leave.

00:18:50.360 This week alone, Stephanie, two assistant directors decided to retire.

00:18:54.940 They were eligible for retirement, but they weren't mandatory.

00:18:58.360 They didn't hit the age of mandatory age yet.

00:19:00.760 I think more of that's coming with regard to the field.

00:19:02.920 The concern I'm hearing is that, look, we get there's going to be massive change at

00:19:07.920 headquarters, but at the moment it affects our decisions in the field in terms of what

00:19:12.040 we can open and close and who we can investigate or not.

00:19:15.340 Questions I've heard being asked is, are we going to be allowed to open a corruption case

00:19:18.780 against a Republican mayor or a governor?

00:19:21.340 Are we going to be allowed to open a counterintelligence case against Russia?

00:19:24.360 Because it appears Trump is friendly with Putin.

00:19:27.000 All of these questions are concerns.

00:19:28.860 I want to deal with, I want to deal with, uh, yo, bro, preserve your documents and lawyer

00:19:37.640 up.

00:19:39.240 All of you guys, all of you FBI spokesmen, former guys, everybody associated with the 51 letters

00:19:45.800 that have been signed, the 51, your security clearance is going to be pulled immediately.

00:19:51.100 Preserve your documents and lawyer up.

00:19:52.820 So don't say when stuff gets pulled from you later, Hey, I didn't know that you got warned

00:19:57.560 in the war room over and over again, preserve your documents and lawyer up to the cash Patel

00:20:05.460 a situation about his qualifications.

00:20:07.760 They've had judges.

00:20:08.920 They've had come on, man.

00:20:12.120 65% of the FBI.

00:20:14.240 Now, I think on a budgetary basis is in counter Intel or intelligence, counterintelligence and

00:20:23.240 counterterrorism.

00:20:24.340 Those three areas, intelligence, counterintelligence and in, um, counterterrorism, particularly post

00:20:34.160 9-11.

00:20:35.440 This is what cash.

00:20:36.180 Somebody said the footprint's growing, the budget's exploding.

00:20:38.700 Why do you think they need a, a, a headquarters building that Maryland and Virginia have been

00:20:45.780 at each other's strokes fighting for?

00:20:47.420 Cause it's the size of the Pentagon.

00:20:49.000 Now, why is it the size of the Pentagon?

00:20:50.700 It's not because they're playing cops and robbers.

00:20:53.540 Only 35% I think of the budget or 40% of the budget is with traditional law enforcement.

00:21:00.240 That's kind of the afterthought unless they're Jack booting in to get people praying the rosary

00:21:06.800 at abortion centers, or unless they're Jack booting down the door to shackle parents who 0.79

00:21:11.580 have been at, uh, who had been at school board meetings that they took your license plate in

00:21:16.320 there and watch the tape because you're sitting there. 0.99

00:21:18.260 You don't want this pervert, bizarro porn forced down your kid's throat in the classroom 1.00

00:21:25.360 by some, some, uh, loser with purple spiked hair. 1.00

00:21:31.540 Well, that's still a relatively, that's a relatively small part. 0.64

00:21:36.160 This is what cash talks about the big footprint in that, in the interview.

00:21:40.200 And they better start embracing cash is much more amenable and much more even handed than

00:21:46.360 the ultra mega base.

00:21:47.920 We don't want to turn it into a cash note.

00:21:50.380 Hey bro, we don't want to turn it into a museum of the deep state.

00:21:53.780 They don't deserve a museum.

00:21:57.020 We want to take that, the architect, a brutal, what's called brutalist architecture.

00:22:01.200 I think it's from the, uh, Mussolini's fascist thirties in Italy. 0.99

00:22:04.900 We want to take that horrible building apart, which is a nice whore. 1.00

00:22:09.760 And just like the Romans did at Carthage after, I believe it was the third Punic war, 0.97

00:22:16.260 Scipio Africanus said, what do we do here?

00:22:20.020 Because remember it was, uh, it was Cato the elder, Cato the elder after everything, Cato

00:22:26.980 the elders in the Senate, whether he's talking about education or he's talking about taxes

00:22:30.580 or he's talking about cleaning the streets because everything came to the, to the Roman

00:22:35.380 Senate.

00:22:35.800 Remember the, um, the people in Senate of Rome was the SPQR.

00:22:39.940 The people in Senate of Rome, everything they argued, he'd finished everything.

00:22:43.580 Cato the elder, Carthago, Delenda Est.

00:22:48.220 Oh, and Carthage must be destroyed.

00:22:50.920 You know why he did that?

00:22:52.780 That's information warfare.

00:22:54.540 That's psychological warfare.

00:22:56.720 He put it into the people's mind.

00:22:59.000 No matter what we're discussing, it's only one thing that really matters.

00:23:03.020 And that's, we have to destroy that enemy because until we destroy that enemy, we're not free.

00:23:10.180 It's kind of like, I don't know, my dispositive question at the top, is this the CCP?

00:23:17.440 Is the 21st century, the CCP going to win or the American Republic?

00:23:21.660 Because everything's got to come under that.

00:23:23.360 So no cash.

00:23:27.060 I want to do what Scipio Africanus and Cato the elder want to do.

00:23:32.840 It's the American Gestapo.

00:23:35.940 It's, it's been, and you see these guys on TV all the time.

00:23:38.840 They just tell you how they're going to be.

00:23:39.980 Weissman, all this crowd, McCabe, Comey, it can't be reformed.

00:23:43.400 It's not about people.

00:23:44.300 It's not about putting in better people.

00:23:46.440 This is a systemic problem.

00:23:49.640 And they keep saying, and they're lying about cash.

00:23:52.120 He didn't say shut down the intelligence operation, the counterintelligence operation, or the counterterrorism.

00:24:04.240 He's saying get rid of it.

00:24:05.580 What that has to be done, because I'm a very strong advocate that we get rid of the FBI in total.

00:24:13.860 You take those three elements, which are 60%, 65% of the budget, approximately, and you're going to put those in other agencies.

00:24:24.800 You're not going to put them into the CIA, because the CIA is not supposed to, not supposed to deal anything domestically.

00:24:32.620 Although Bobby Kennedy, RFK Jr., is on a tear.

00:24:35.920 He wants all those files in JFK, because he's thinking, hey, I'm not buying that.

00:24:40.540 I think the CIA might have had a, might have had something to do in the assassination of my uncle.

00:24:44.840 I'm just saying.

00:24:45.520 And remember in that book that was written about the Church Commission, when Church puts Gary Hart onto the CIA, they put, Hart was a young hot runner on Church on that committee.

00:24:57.380 The famous Church Committee that they talk about, where all these reforms came from.

00:25:02.520 Church, Gary Hart's the young hot runner going to be president one day.

00:25:06.140 They put him on the CIA part of it, of the Church Committee, because they don't know what they're going to find, because the CIA was so out of control, nobody was controlling it.

00:25:17.340 And they're feeding what they want to hear, which is the, they're killing, they're assassinating guys in sub-Saharan Africa. 0.65

00:25:24.980 They're, they're doing, and eventually get to, hey, they took a couple of, they took a couple of whacks at, at Castro with, I don't know, a poison cigar and poison darts.

00:25:33.500 Who knows?

00:25:34.160 But Hart's sitting there with the CIA, with Angleton.

00:25:39.080 Angleton is the famous guy.

00:25:40.500 Angleton's the guy that ran the deal for like 20 or 30 years or internally, the internal guy.

00:25:45.600 The guy that went on the mall, they knew they had Soviet malls.

00:25:48.800 They went on, he destroyed like 50 guys, committed suicide, to find the mall, never found them.

00:25:54.780 We found out later, you know, Hanson and those guys who they were.

00:25:57.700 He's had dinner at one of these clubs in D.C.

00:26:02.080 And Angleton is a, is a guy who would take a drink.

00:26:06.460 Most of the, a lot of these guys are alcoholics, flat out.

00:26:10.620 Don't know if it was because of their conscience or not.

00:26:12.540 And Angleton's sitting there and they, and he says, look, you know, I have to ask you this question before we go.

00:26:19.780 It's like the third dinner.

00:26:20.560 He says, did the CIA, and Hart can barely get it out because he's nervous.

00:26:24.880 Did the CIA have anything to do with the assassination of President Kennedy?

00:26:28.600 What he didn't get was a firm no.

00:26:35.620 Angleton paused.

00:26:37.820 Angleton looked at him over his drink.

00:26:40.740 And Angleton said, you're, you were a theology student as an undergraduate, were you not?

00:26:44.500 He says, yeah.

00:26:45.160 Uh-huh.

00:26:46.560 He said, in my father's house, there are many mansions.

00:26:55.940 That was it.

00:26:58.600 And Gary Hart went back to church and said, hey, I think that's a line of country we don't want to develop.

00:27:04.960 Let's just go sidle on that.

00:27:06.540 The Great Church Commission didn't touch it.

00:27:11.720 And remember, there were a couple, three things that came up.

00:27:14.560 MK Ultra.

00:27:16.560 You talk about the Unabomber.

00:27:17.900 You talk about the shooter.

00:27:19.360 You talk about this guy that gunned this CEO down.

00:27:23.180 In cold blood in Midtown Manhattan, point blank range, lying in wait.

00:27:27.080 Shot him in the back. 0.88

00:27:27.900 Not exactly the American way. 0.88

00:27:29.560 Doesn't remind me of the Old West.

00:27:32.440 Right?

00:27:34.320 Kind of the way they got rid of Wild Bill Hickok. 0.74

00:27:36.560 Shot him right in the back.

00:27:37.860 Point blank range. 0.85

00:27:40.260 Not legendary.

00:27:41.600 Right?

00:27:41.960 Don't do it that way.

00:27:45.580 That guy was inspired by the Unabomber. 0.95

00:27:47.480 And the Unabomber was tied up in MK Ultra.

00:27:49.960 I think that's where the first game is first tab of acid.

00:27:51.900 Took that brother in a different direction.

00:27:58.160 These, they're freaked out because Ray surrendered to Trump.

00:28:04.600 In this town, they're in panic right now.

00:28:07.060 They have no air cover.

00:28:08.780 Pam Bondi's going to justice. 0.66

00:28:11.060 And wait for it.

00:28:12.160 Cash Patel's going to the FBI.

00:28:17.120 Short break.

00:28:19.720 I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.

00:28:25.280 First, think back to 9-11.

00:28:26.800 Shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.

00:28:29.300 This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.

00:28:38.160 Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author,

00:28:45.300 is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.

00:28:51.380 In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move.

00:28:58.760 If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA,

00:29:05.800 the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.

00:29:09.800 I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.

00:29:15.320 Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming

00:29:22.060 and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.

00:29:27.640 Watch Jim's warning video now, before it's censored like I've been in the past.

00:29:33.400 Go to RickardsWarRoom.com.

00:29:35.420 That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.

00:29:39.680 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.

00:29:42.160 So there's a rumor that the IG report's going to be out, I don't know, sometime today, tomorrow.

00:29:48.460 We're going to dive into that big league.

00:29:50.940 Carrie Lake named as Voice of America.

00:29:54.700 Huge piece in the New York Times, kind of lead story in the New York Times.

00:29:58.560 Don't offer me the print edition.

00:29:59.760 I'm going to check here momentarily.

00:30:00.820 But it's all about you, this audience.

00:30:04.960 Fixed bayonets and basically retrieving Pete Hegseth's candidacy.

00:30:13.020 So you've got three things going on.

00:30:15.040 The world war, the debt.

00:30:17.300 You've got the war, the debt, and the invasion, to keep it simple.

00:30:21.360 The war, the debt, and the invasion.

00:30:24.180 Lead story on zero hedge is how an explosion of spending is happening.

00:30:31.100 The greatest, remember, the fiscal year of the government starts 1 October.

00:30:36.580 So October, November, December, I think this will be the greatest deficit we've ever had outside the pandemic.

00:30:41.800 Extraordinary events, but for normal course of business.

00:30:44.600 I think we're on track to have, by the end of December, the greatest ever.

00:30:48.500 And nobody can figure it out.

00:30:50.660 We know revenue's kind of down or off.

00:30:54.140 But there's an explosion.

00:30:56.620 And I've got it up on, I think I've got it up on, in fact, I know I got it up on Getty.

00:31:00.100 I got it up last night.

00:31:01.800 And we're going to have some people here break it down for you.

00:31:03.620 So number one, the debt is exploding because they're trying to jam Trump up.

00:31:07.820 Two, the war.

00:31:09.900 You know, now you've got Poland. 0.68

00:31:11.220 You've got all the guys in NATO saying, hey, I don't know.

00:31:13.620 We're not putting in, I don't know if we're putting in security forces.

00:31:16.160 Who's guaranteeing that?

00:31:17.060 We're not going to do that.

00:31:17.900 We're polling.

00:31:19.160 They talk in the general.

00:31:20.220 NATO's got to do it.

00:31:22.580 NATO's got to do it.

00:31:23.180 NATO ought to do something.

00:31:24.240 But then when they talk about specific commitments, well, I don't know if we can do it.

00:31:27.340 Well, here's what.

00:31:27.980 The United States is never, under Donald Trump, never going to put a troop anywhere near peacekeeping there in Israel or the Middle East.

00:31:34.740 Not going to happen.

00:31:36.780 Been there, done that.

00:31:38.360 20 years in Afghanistan, Iraq.

00:31:41.260 What, 15 years in Vietnam?

00:31:44.680 Or 13 years in Vietnam?

00:31:48.140 In Korea.

00:31:48.900 We're still in Korea.

00:31:50.040 Korea's imploding right now. 0.77

00:31:51.260 Korea's imploding. 0.95

00:31:53.540 They just declared martial law last week.

00:31:55.300 Not only lasted for a couple hours, but the defense minister committed, tried to commit suicide.

00:31:59.500 Now they said the guys were marching on the election thing to get to the election.

00:32:02.380 They take that election integrity even bigger than MAGA does.

00:32:06.760 They're all insurrectionists and they're running the government.

00:32:09.980 He tried to commit suicide.

00:32:13.220 The whole thing's spinning out of control.

00:32:14.680 You got Turkey and all, you remember they were cheering over the weekend and MSNBC had everybody up there and CNN and all these shows.

00:32:21.260 Oh, these are, I told you they're not Jeffersonian Democrats.

00:32:23.460 They're hanging people right now. 0.80

00:32:25.380 Doing all the revenge killings.

00:32:28.840 And Erdogan, Erdogan just, he's, Erdogan wants to reverse everything Otto Turk did 100 years ago.

00:32:35.340 It's the caliphate. 0.98

00:32:37.800 He's going to go back to the Ottoman Turks, the original glory when they took over Constantinople. 1.00

00:32:42.760 You know, the Visigoths and the Goss, everybody took a run on Rome, but hey, they lasted for another thousand years over there.

00:32:49.680 The Byzantine Empire.

00:32:52.360 They were taken down finally.

00:32:55.040 Essentially by the Kurds. 0.69

00:32:59.080 They took them over.

00:33:00.880 They're proud of the Ottoman Empire went all the way down to Saudi Arabia. 0.91

00:33:03.940 Mecca and Medina, the two holy sites.

00:33:06.440 He wants it.

00:33:07.400 Before he checks out.

00:33:08.360 Note to self, he's a NATO ally doing bombing runs on folks up there.

00:33:13.720 So much for NATO allies.

00:33:16.480 And all day long, all day long, and all they're talking about, and all they're on President Trump.

00:33:20.360 They call him President Trump, the advisors.

00:33:21.920 They're all over Waltz.

00:33:23.240 They're all over Marco Rubio.

00:33:25.640 Hex does not have anything to do with him because he's going through his turn in the barrel.

00:33:28.660 But nonstop, they want, you know, we've got to portion this thing off.

00:33:33.160 It's like Germany after the war.

00:33:34.500 America's got to have, so we have to have nothing. 0.56

00:33:38.560 Send them a few more shells over to Israel. 0.93

00:33:41.340 They blew up Hezbollah. 0.58

00:33:42.860 That's what started this thing, the domino effect.

00:33:45.460 Hell, they did 100 bombing runs yesterday.

00:33:47.540 And they're sitting there going, oh, you've got to have, you know, you're going to do this.

00:33:52.520 Hey, get all the millions, I think, I don't know, it was 10 million that went into Europe in the first Syrian crisis.

00:33:58.120 Took down Merkel's government.

00:34:00.740 It destroyed, started to destroy Europe. 0.77

00:34:03.160 Send them all back.

00:34:04.580 War's over. 0.58

00:34:06.100 Assad's gone.

00:34:06.800 He's up in, he's up in Moscow.

00:34:08.980 Drinking vodka with, with Putin and the KGB guys.

00:34:12.140 Good riddance. 0.51

00:34:13.460 He's a bad guy.

00:34:14.180 But I'll tell you, I sat in the National Security Council with the president.

00:34:19.540 I told him right there, hey, can I see some evidence of these chemical attacks?

00:34:25.540 You talk a lot about it.

00:34:26.840 Where's, where are the facts?

00:34:27.760 Where's the evidence?

00:34:29.500 These people will lie to you, look you in the eye and lie to you.

00:34:33.320 They will look you in the eye and lie to you.

00:34:36.320 That's the deep state.

00:34:37.700 They got their own deal.

00:34:40.040 What they want to do, they want to get a cheek by jowl.

00:34:43.280 And Tulsi Gabbard knows this is what a hater.

00:34:46.420 They got her, they got up cheek by jowl with the Russians and they want to get tangled because 1.00

00:34:51.260 they want to get, they want, now why are they, with everything else going in the world,

00:34:55.500 why is they so focused on getting in war with the Russians?

00:35:01.160 You notice I didn't say war with the KGB. 0.94

00:35:03.540 Putin and these guys are bad hombres. 0.99

00:35:06.260 They're gangsters. 0.99

00:35:07.660 I got that.

00:35:08.520 There's a lot of gangsters in the world.

00:35:13.300 The framers and founders of our nation understood that.

00:35:17.500 They said, don't, whatever you do, we got our own deal here, here, the New Jerusalem here,

00:35:23.740 here, here.

00:35:25.020 Don't go abroad looking for monsters to slay.

00:35:28.700 We had to do it.

00:35:31.940 We had, when we did it, we had to do it.

00:35:34.040 Barbary pirates, we had to do that. 1.00

00:35:35.520 Hell, they'd taken all the shipping.

00:35:36.800 We couldn't, we couldn't send anything out.

00:35:39.260 Even that was a little on the margin.

00:35:41.140 That was a little questionable, but hey, you had to do it, went and did it.

00:35:44.720 And we did it.

00:35:46.880 And then came home.

00:35:50.180 So the war, they're getting, they're getting Trump.

00:35:51.840 I'm telling you, they're, they are sucking us in to something that's a hundred times worse

00:35:56.980 than Vietnam.

00:35:57.500 You think Vietnam was bad, man? 1.00

00:35:59.400 That's the jungle down there.

00:36:02.960 When the French leave, it's terrible. 1.00

00:36:04.860 And the people have fought it.

00:36:05.860 The sacrifice of our troops, horrible, just horrible, horrible and not supported.

00:36:13.380 But that is nothing compared to what this thing is.

00:36:16.900 You take that arc from Russia through the bloodlands of Ukraine.

00:36:20.380 You take it down to Romania and the Balkans.

00:36:22.760 You get into Turkey and Greece.

00:36:24.880 You come across to Syria.

00:36:26.440 You cut all the way down to the Tigris and Euphrates, to Iraq, Persia.

00:36:30.700 These are ancient, ancient, ancient vendettas.

00:36:34.440 People have been over there killing each other for thousands of years.

00:36:39.320 Thousands and thousands and thousands of years.

00:36:43.320 They're going to be killing each other a thousand years from now.

00:36:46.780 That's what President Trump says.

00:36:48.220 It's sand and death.

00:36:50.380 Don't do it on the debt.

00:36:53.760 We'll break it down later.

00:36:54.980 Put the zero hit story of exploding.

00:36:58.780 They're trying to handcuff Trump right now, and they just passed the NDA. 1.00

00:37:01.580 Oh, suck on this. 1.00

00:37:02.600 You've got a trillion dollar defense budget. 0.99

00:37:05.100 Well, Trump comes in and says, I don't want to appropriate that.

00:37:06.860 I've got the Doge guys right here.

00:37:08.040 The Doge guys are here, and they've got some other ideas.

00:37:12.040 Well, we can't.

00:37:12.600 We passed it.

00:37:13.160 We've got a top-line number.

00:37:14.160 We passed it.

00:37:15.700 This is the games they're playing.

00:37:16.900 And everybody's sitting there calling me, no, Steve, you're overselling that.

00:37:20.180 It can still change.

00:37:20.740 I said, okay, fine.

00:37:21.740 Just show me where it's ever changed.

00:37:24.120 Ever.

00:37:25.240 Even a marginal change.

00:37:26.340 Show me.

00:37:26.760 Once that top line's locked in, it's locked in.

00:37:28.660 That's why they pass it.

00:37:30.560 And programmatically, they kind of got the programs.

00:37:32.480 We've got to do this.

00:37:33.080 We've got to do this.

00:37:33.680 We've got to do this.

00:37:34.300 We've got to do that.

00:37:35.780 You may carve it out on the side, but you're not going to get to it.

00:37:38.200 You're not going to get down to it.

00:37:39.280 And if you don't get down to that defense budget, there's no Doge.

00:37:42.440 There's no cuts.

00:37:43.200 Where are you going to take it?

00:37:43.860 You can't take entitlements now.

00:37:45.460 You can't.

00:37:45.920 You can't.

00:37:46.340 Here's why.

00:37:48.660 It's not that maybe you should.

00:37:49.580 The math, it's a contractual obligation to the working class and middle class.

00:37:54.240 You've got one thing you're hanging on.

00:37:55.660 That little $1,200 check and some Medicare and some health insurance or health.

00:38:00.800 Not great, but it's something.

00:38:02.060 And you've got to, that's a contract with you and they can't break it.

00:38:07.620 They can renegotiate and re-vote it, but you've got to say so on that.

00:38:10.600 You're at the table.

00:38:12.480 They just can't do that.

00:38:14.240 That's what's discretionary spending.

00:38:17.040 So don't talk to me about $2 trillion unless you understand how they're jamming you up right now

00:38:21.640 and jamming Trump up right now. 0.94

00:38:24.240 Because you think these folks up here, you think they give a damn, a tinker's damn what Trump thinks? 0.97

00:38:28.420 They do not. 0.92

00:38:29.080 They may go in the camera and, you know, I, you know, somehow I've got to really look at these nominees

00:38:35.080 and I've got to, you know, got to advise him and consent with him.

00:38:38.940 Come on, man.

00:38:41.140 Behind closed doors?

00:38:42.200 No way.

00:38:43.760 Impossible.

00:38:44.320 And Vivek and when they walked up the other day, the only thing they understand is fear and power.

00:38:50.380 How do you think we got rid of Ray?

00:38:54.620 How do you think we saved Hexer?

00:38:55.940 Don't look, ask me.

00:38:56.880 Look at the New York Times.

00:38:57.940 How do we do that?

00:38:58.700 This audience.

00:39:00.200 You fixed bayonets and said, hey, no more Gateses. 0.91

00:39:04.000 We should never let him go.

00:39:05.900 No more wobbly Republicans.

00:39:07.460 I don't want to hear any happy talk.

00:39:08.820 I don't want to hear any whinging. 0.99

00:39:10.560 Trump took a bullet in four weeks, took a bullet to the head. 0.98

00:39:13.440 Chris Ray, not shrapnel. 0.73

00:39:15.320 Another reason you're gone. 1.00

00:39:17.680 Took a bullet to the head. 0.81

00:39:19.440 Four months later, won a landslide victory.

00:39:21.760 And you guys in the Senate wouldn't even be, have jobs or have chairmanships if it wasn't for Trump.

00:39:27.200 Who dragged everybody across the goal line, as he always does.

00:39:33.240 And then you got the border.

00:39:35.400 And nobody's talking about the border.

00:39:36.980 We got Oscar Blue and Burkwam down there in harm's way again. 1.00

00:39:42.360 Why is that?

00:39:44.120 They're all trying to get across.

00:39:46.600 Can you imagine this?

00:39:48.020 They're not even kicking in ice and setting the platform and training people up and getting them in the uniforms again and telling ice, give me a cheery aye aye.

00:39:54.720 Let's do some calisthenics.

00:39:56.100 Trump's coming in.

00:39:57.380 They're going to do shock and awe, but we need some bodies and maybe coordinate with Texas and, hey, we got to go.

00:40:02.040 You know, we're relieved.

00:40:03.200 They're going to do it differently.

00:40:04.800 We understand that.

00:40:05.440 But here you go.

00:40:06.080 We get everybody lined up.

00:40:06.760 No, they're not doing that.

00:40:07.920 They're doing the exact opposite.

00:40:11.760 And what media is trying to do, because remember, all they want to do in politics is follow the horse race.

00:40:16.820 Follow the horse race. 1.00

00:40:17.760 That's for the dumb and lazy. 1.00

00:40:19.180 He's up. 1.00

00:40:19.780 He's bad.

00:40:20.240 No, but it's DeSantis and Youngkin and Nikki Haley. 0.98

00:40:23.700 It's all nonsense.

00:40:25.840 Doesn't mean anything. 1.00

00:40:27.880 It's for the dumb and lazy. 0.99

00:40:29.360 On the nominations, and we got to get them across. 0.99

00:40:31.720 So we do spend some time on it.

00:40:33.140 But the time is really saying, audience, hey, today we're fixing bayonets and it's Pete Hegseth or it's Tulsi Gabbard or it's Bobby Kennedy because they all got to get approved.

00:40:44.400 We're not obsessing.

00:40:45.580 They just came out of Lisa Murkowski's office, and we're live here outside of Lisa Murkowski for her pearls of wisdom.

00:40:52.920 We don't give a damn what Lisa Murkowski has to say. 0.62

00:40:56.100 It's a whole scam up there in Alaska. 0.80

00:40:58.060 People in Alaska ought to be ashamed of themselves for not taking care of this thing.

00:41:02.480 Ought to be ashamed of themselves in Alaska.

00:41:04.520 You got good folks up there.

00:41:05.660 You got this voting thing that you let them come in, and you're never going to have good people up there.

00:41:10.600 You're never going to have fire breathers.

00:41:12.680 Well, you've allowed to do it.

00:41:14.620 Just saying.

00:41:15.280 So I'd love the people in Alaska, but don't give me the last frontier, and we're, you know, walking around with no shirts, jumping in ice ponds.

00:41:23.440 Take care of business.

00:41:24.500 Get Lisa Murkowski out of there. 1.00

00:41:25.800 She's embarrassing you guys. 0.99

00:41:28.400 Or Collins.

00:41:29.040 Collins came to talk.

00:41:31.660 Maine, you ought to be real proud of that one.

00:41:33.160 That's a beauty.

00:41:38.100 Not physically.

00:41:39.060 I'm talking about the whole package.

00:41:41.940 She's a beaut. 1.00

00:41:42.700 But we're not waiting for her pearls of wisdom.

00:41:48.100 Because underneath that, you've got to get the personnel, boom, to do it.

00:41:52.040 And they're doing, the transition team's doing good for second and third tier.

00:41:55.020 But it's also the convergence of the thing itself.

00:42:00.500 They're not standing there in this period trying to have Trump's people in some logical, coordinated way relieve the watch.

00:42:09.120 Because at high noon, you give them a cheery eye-eye.

00:42:11.460 I got the deck in the con, baby.

00:42:14.140 We got this.

00:42:15.680 They're not doing that.

00:42:17.680 They're trying to jam it up.

00:42:19.040 And this is why, this is why Ray shocked them.

00:42:23.580 Shocked them.

00:42:24.140 They thought Ray would, at least he's heard the professor.

00:42:26.080 He's at least going to stick out for a year.

00:42:27.740 They needed a year air cover.

00:42:29.420 And here's what's really shocked them.

00:42:30.740 Weissman, changing your huggies tonight.

00:42:34.580 Ask yourself a question.

00:42:38.800 Ask yourself this question.

00:42:42.660 What does Ray know that you guys don't?

00:42:46.720 Why did Ray capitulate?

00:42:48.200 Why did Ray, for all the media, that for all those years, was it Ken Dillian?

00:43:03.300 What do they call him?

00:43:04.200 Fusion Ken?

00:43:05.580 Brother, we're all over you.

00:43:06.740 You should know that.

00:43:08.640 Got some bad stuff, Ken.

00:43:10.300 What does Ray know that you brothers and sisters don't?

00:43:21.720 Why did Ray surrender and get the hell out of town?

00:43:25.880 Why didn't he stand in the breach?

00:43:27.680 Why didn't he stand up for you?

00:43:28.680 Why didn't he provide air cover for y'all?

00:43:31.280 Ask yourself that.

00:43:33.100 The one guy you needed, the one guy you needed, ran.

00:43:38.260 For over 10 years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider,

00:45:11.200 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:45:16.240 Okay, Thursday, 12 December, Year of the Lord, 2024.

00:45:19.800 Man, where's this year gone?

00:45:21.980 Where has this month gone?

00:45:23.060 I don't think it's just because I'm getting older.

00:45:26.500 It's just zipping by.

00:45:30.300 And remember, I spent four months in a cell block.

00:45:32.840 It's still zipping by.

00:45:35.820 Fast.

00:45:36.540 Middle of December already.

00:45:37.540 You, this audience.

00:45:41.280 The response I got yesterday from folks in North Carolina, here on Capitol Hill, of what you accomplished and have in the back of the folks down there in the legislature, because we set things as much right as we possibly could.

00:45:53.460 And I know it was powerful because MSNBC all last night had Democrats down there whining.

00:45:59.440 So you've done good.

00:46:00.520 I mean, the power of people were like blown away by that.

00:46:03.920 Also in the NDAA.

00:46:05.040 And I realized we didn't really get to the ramparts because that thing was happening.

00:46:09.740 We tried to warn people.

00:46:10.780 It just was outside.

00:46:11.500 But you can only, you know, you can only focus on so many things.

00:46:15.140 And we had to get to.

00:46:16.000 And that's why I want everybody to read the New York Times article.

00:46:18.200 In fact, Grace, if we can somehow try to get an archive of it.

00:46:21.760 I really want people to read all of it.

00:46:24.580 It's got Matt Boyle.

00:46:25.720 It's got Turning Point USA.

00:46:27.500 It has the War Room Posse.

00:46:28.800 And I say in there, I'm quoted, I think, no more Gateses, that we live in one world, and that's the world of victory.

00:46:42.360 And we'll double down.

00:46:43.900 We'll triple down.

00:46:45.080 There's no retreat.

00:46:46.120 There's no surrender.

00:46:47.000 And you just move forward.

00:46:50.420 If you look at the opposing forces we have, they don't have that.

00:46:53.420 The Ray thing is a shock to the system.

00:46:55.580 That it's finally now they're starting to begin to deal with the fact that not just Trump won, but we are seizing the institutions.

00:47:09.700 And somebody put on Twitter the other day, there's this tension between destroying the institutions or taking over, reforming and rebuilding.

00:47:15.860 Don't.

00:47:16.500 Come on, man.

00:47:17.280 Stop that nonsense.

00:47:18.200 You have to seize the institutions to then see whether they can be reformed or whether they can be reconstituted or should they just go away?

00:47:31.760 The FBI, I strongly believe, a couple of years now will go away.

00:47:35.540 The functions, most of the functions won't.

00:47:38.200 They'll be allocated to different areas, particularly the counterterrorism, the counterintelligence and the intelligence part.

00:47:44.900 The law enforcement, I think, will go somewhere in DOJ with U.S. attorneys that the U.S. attorneys will have an investigative force and maybe some sort of policing action on some limited basis.

00:47:56.300 But never, ever, ever, ever again.

00:47:59.420 This is all a thing from Hoover.

00:48:02.360 And they're not very good.

00:48:06.040 This is not very good.

00:48:08.040 Did I mention 9-11?

00:48:09.400 They're not very good.

00:48:10.280 Well, Steve, that was 20-some years ago.

00:48:12.440 No, no.

00:48:13.060 Come on.

00:48:13.380 That's nothing in time.

00:48:15.120 Have they really changed?

00:48:16.460 Have they really gotten any better?

00:48:18.920 Look at all the intelligence fairies we have every week. 1.00

00:48:23.040 Have they really gotten any better?

00:48:25.640 They've gotten better at jackbooting, putting the jackboot on folks playing the rosary.

00:48:32.160 People that have no power and they don't think are going to come back to power.

00:48:35.980 And I don't like using the term bully.

00:48:37.360 I think it's too schoolyard.

00:48:40.760 They were all fine about jackbooting your house down and putting you in change. 0.99

00:48:46.380 They shackled Navarre, a 70-year-old man, at Reagan National Airport in front of hundreds of people.

00:48:53.520 And he's a well-known guy.

00:48:54.520 He's on TV.

00:48:55.880 They took him out like a dog.

00:48:57.320 They handcuffed him, shackled him, and took him down to that tarmac off the thing, off the plane, and humiliated him in front of everybody.

00:49:05.580 You know why?

00:49:06.780 Because they could.

00:49:07.560 They never thought.

00:49:08.760 Do you ever think in two billion years that if they thought Peter Navarro was ever going to be a senior counselor in the White House, in the Oval Office every day,

00:49:21.320 that he would do that?

00:49:25.200 That they would do that?

00:49:27.820 No.

00:49:28.860 Impossible.

00:49:30.600 Impossible.

00:49:32.620 They wouldn't do it.

00:49:34.920 They would not do it.

00:49:36.120 Is that clock right now?

00:49:40.500 Okay, fine.

00:49:41.360 I'm in the middle of a roll.

00:49:44.220 And all of a sudden we're looking at something different.

00:49:47.540 No, of course not.

00:49:50.680 Of course not.

00:49:52.340 That shows you how evil they are.

00:49:53.780 The shock to the system.

00:49:55.460 The important thing to take away today is that the deep state ain't that tough.

00:50:01.200 Oh, they're bad, and they're cunning, and they got the apparatus, and they're going to be, hey, we're so far from victory.

00:50:05.560 Don't, don't.

00:50:06.060 I'm not, I'm not, I'm not resting.

00:50:08.260 We're not resting on the laurels.

00:50:09.460 We're not doing it.

00:50:10.020 No, we're so far from that.

00:50:11.180 But you can feel the fear coming through every day.

00:50:14.680 You can feel the fear.

00:50:15.160 Look at this.

00:50:15.640 Wall Street Journal.

00:50:17.500 Murdoch's paper.

00:50:19.700 All you people who read the Wall Street Journal every day.

00:50:21.700 I got so many friends.

00:50:22.720 I got nephews, and they're reading the Wall Street Journal every day, and they're sending me stuff. 0.99

00:50:26.180 I said, you know, it's all lies, all crap. 0.99

00:50:27.780 It's all wrong information. 0.99

00:50:29.480 These guys have been wrong in everything.

00:50:31.280 Everything.

00:50:31.840 Not some things.

00:50:32.580 Everything.

00:50:33.360 Where is the Wall Street Journal?

00:50:34.540 Where were they?

00:50:35.380 Running up to 2008.

00:50:37.580 Show me all the articles in Wall Street Journal, Warren, about the greatest financial collapse

00:50:41.300 in the history of the country.

00:50:42.760 Where were they?

00:50:43.660 Where was it?

00:50:44.500 Now, if you didn't see it, because it wasn't written, it wasn't printed, they ain't maybe

00:50:48.080 had a couple guys in articles saying, hey, I think we got a problem here.

00:50:52.840 I think we got a problem here.

00:50:53.640 What do they got?

00:50:54.740 How Tulsi Gabbard sees the world.

00:50:56.600 Right there.

00:50:57.040 This is yesterday.

00:50:58.000 Right there.

00:50:59.440 Can't have Tulsi Gabbard.

00:51:00.880 She wants peace.

00:51:02.020 She's bad. 0.60

00:51:03.420 Right here, they got Bolton, who's kind of a creep.

00:51:07.060 They got Bolton.

00:51:07.740 Cash Patel doesn't belong to the FBI.

00:51:09.500 Hey, Bolton, got news for you.

00:51:11.380 He's at the FBI, going to be at the FBI.

00:51:13.420 They told you up on the morning show today.

00:51:14.860 There's no real opposition to him.

00:51:18.020 Trump's misguided attack on birthright citizenship.

00:51:20.380 They don't like that either, because they like tons of illegal aliens here, and they want 1.00

00:51:23.400 more of them.

00:51:24.560 Oh, and down here, and this is the most logical one, but down here is how you can't, Trump

00:51:28.560 can't get out of forever wars.

00:51:29.800 You got to be in, you're sucked into forever wars.

00:51:32.420 And if you don't believe that, look at, look at Syria.

00:51:36.580 That's the whole deal.

00:51:38.980 The war, because we're in the kinetic part of the Third World War now.

00:51:42.540 If you're not taking notes at home, a million people in the last two and a half years, three

00:51:47.680 years, a million people, a million six, according to a million Ukrainians, both combat troops

00:51:53.740 and civilians, and six or seven hundred thousand Russians.

00:51:57.060 That was according to President Trump, the six or seven hundred thousand.

00:52:00.740 That's a million six.

00:52:02.000 I won't round up to two.

00:52:05.480 That's just in your watch, watching the show the last couple of years.

00:52:08.060 We've been warning about that.

00:52:10.860 The debt thing's out of control.

00:52:12.440 I'm telling you, everything he wants to do, that debt ceiling deal comes off, I think,

00:52:16.840 on the 2nd of January, 3rd of January.

00:52:19.020 Boom, you're going to get back.

00:52:20.140 You're still going to have flat champagne in your glasses.

00:52:24.280 Vive, was it Vue Cliqueau, or some of that fancy Moet Chandon?

00:52:30.480 You're going to have a flat, warm champagne still in your glasses.

00:52:34.500 We're going to hit the debt ceiling.

00:52:35.840 And then you got, we're going to get to Burkwam and Oscar.

00:52:38.980 If they hadn't been snatched, they might have been snatched.

00:52:41.200 They're down with some bad hombres, and those bad hombres are getting people tickets.

00:52:47.320 They're coming right in here to good old United States of America. 0.89
