00:00:00.000 The meeting with President Putin tomorrow, I think it's going to be a good meeting, but the more important meeting will be the second meeting that we're having.
00:00:06.980 We're going to have a meeting with President Putin, President Zelensky, myself, and maybe we'll bring some of the European leaders along.
00:00:14.280 Maybe not. It's I don't know that it's going to be very important.
00:00:17.740 We're going to see what happens. And I think President Putin will make peace.
00:00:23.440 I think President Zelensky will make peace. We'll see if they can get along.
00:00:27.060 And if they can, it'll be great. You know, I've solved six wars in the last six months, a little more than six months now.
00:00:35.880 And I'm very proud of it. I thought the easiest one would be this one. It's actually the most difficult.
00:00:40.380 Who of these two do you think is going to win out in a room? 0.99
00:00:43.080 And and do you think Russia is counting on being able to sway the president who was for a moment, it looks like, possibly turning away from Putin to get him back in the fold?
00:00:51.800 Yeah, look, nothing is going to change Vladimir Putin's views.
00:00:57.680 Nothing has changed his views on Ukraine over the last decade, even after the full scale invasion.
00:01:03.880 The sanctions and precedent sanctions put on Russia by the Biden administration didn't change his view.
00:01:09.340 The tens and tens of thousands of Russians who've died on the front lines have not changed his view,
00:01:13.480 though I have no idea why Donald Trump thinks him being in a room with Vladimir Putin is somehow going to change Putin's position.
00:01:21.000 Putin's position has been absolutely the same since the first day of the Trump administration,
00:01:25.500 since all of this diplomacy, all of these promises done, the war started.
00:01:28.880 It's that I get to keep all of the parts of Ukraine that Russia currently occupies, that Russia has illegally annexed.
00:01:35.740 Ukraine is never going to be allowed inside of NATO and Ukraine doesn't really get credible security guarantees.
00:01:40.680 So at some point in the future, I might be able to invade again and take some more territory.
00:01:45.480 That's Putin's position. It's very clear, very consistent on it.
00:01:48.840 And I just see no strategy from the Trump administration to move Putin.
00:01:54.460 And so the question is not whether Putin moves, it's whether Trump essentially capitulates to Putin's view of the conflict,
00:02:01.580 calls it some kind of peace deal and tries to impose a version of it on Zelensky and the Europeans,
00:02:07.560 who absolutely do not want to see the legitimacy of Russia taking that territory.
00:02:12.520 They're realistic that, you know, Ukraine's military capacity to take all that back is limited.
00:02:17.660 But the point is that that should not be the price of a ceasefire, giving all that land away,
00:02:22.100 recognizing Russian control of that land and getting ahead of Ukraine's own choices
00:02:27.000 about whether they can join the European Union or whether they can join NATO.
00:02:30.620 So that's really what this is about.
00:02:31.920 It's Trump wanting, you know, the kind of short term sugar high news cycle victory of saying he's,
00:02:38.280 you know, achieving some kind of peace and Putin wanting to essentially win the war on his terms.
00:02:44.920 And that's why it's such a kind of uncertain situation, because the White House,
00:02:49.200 you know, they can move expectations up and down.
00:02:50.880 What they can't do is describe how they're going to move Vladimir Putin.
00:02:56.820 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:03:01.920 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:03:07.100 You're just not going to get a free shot.
00:03:08.360 All these networks lying about the people.
00:03:11.360 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:03:13.260 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:03:14.700 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:03:16.460 but you're not going to stop it.
00:03:17.380 It's going to happen.
00:03:18.660 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:03:22.060 Mega media.
00:03:23.400 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:03:28.080 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:03:32.600 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:03:38.860 War Room.
00:03:39.800 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:03:41.880 Bannon.
00:03:42.220 It's Thursday, 14 August, and the year of our Lord 2025 will be with you for the next couple of hours going through all this,
00:03:52.320 particularly talking about this very important, obviously, summit meeting tomorrow.
00:03:57.040 The first, I think, kickoff of several meetings that will lead to, hopefully, a Russian rapprochement with the United States of America.
00:04:04.380 What Ben Rhodes, remember Ben Rhodes, he was just a comms guy in the National Security Council, a failed playwright, yammering on for years.
00:04:13.460 These are the guys, every day they push the Ukrainian people into this war to continue to fight. 0.99
00:04:21.860 We have to underwrite it.
00:04:23.220 We have to underwrite all the military.
00:04:25.740 We have to write the support of the Ukrainian government, all of it.
00:04:28.720 That's all coming to an end, and they hate to see that President Trump holds all the cards in this situation.
00:04:35.740 Tomorrow, President Trump's going to leave.
00:04:37.700 It's a day trip.
00:04:38.860 He's going to leave early.
00:04:39.980 The morning show will capture that.
00:04:42.100 I think they leave the White House around 630.
00:04:45.040 They arrive early afternoon after our morning show to a joint base, Elmendorf-Richardson, in Alaska, outside of Anchorage.
00:04:53.580 As you remember, we've been talking about Alaska for the last couple of weeks, about hemispheric defense and the important strategic, how important Alaska is.
00:05:02.100 As you remember, we've told you about the testimony in 1935 of Brigadier General Billy Mitchell, in which he said that Alaska is the most strategic place on Earth.
00:05:12.640 And it's certainly the most strategic when it comes to defense of our hemispheric defense, not just from the Arctic, but also the Pacific.
00:05:20.300 And remember, we're a Pacific nation.
00:05:21.860 I'm honored to have the governor of Alaska, Mike Dunleavy, on.
00:05:25.600 Governor, can you give us a just frame what's going to happen tomorrow, where it's going to happen, and how important this is in the history of the state of Alaska?
00:05:33.880 Well, thanks, Steve, for having me on.
00:05:35.420 Absolutely.
00:05:35.960 This is huge for the state of Alaska.
00:05:38.720 It's going to take place in the military base, as you said, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
00:05:43.420 And that's actually inside of Anchorage, the municipality of Anchorage.
00:05:46.340 And so it's probably the best place to have it.
00:05:49.440 They can land there at the airport on the base.
00:05:51.860 They've got facilities there that can accommodate all the staff, many reporters as well.
00:05:57.500 There will be private rooms, obviously, for the president and President Putin to have discussions.
00:06:02.420 And so we're honored to host this.
00:06:05.200 We are honored to be part of what hopefully is going to be a peace agreement that this particular meeting will set the stage for the grounds for.
00:06:14.020 And so, no, I think it's a great thing.
00:06:16.840 I mean, you've got to be able to talk with folks that are involved in these wars.
00:06:19.700 You saw that here last week with the president with Azerbaijan and Armenia.
00:06:23.660 He's done it with the Congo and Rwanda, the Abraham Accords and the first administration. 0.95
00:06:29.040 I mean, and I've got to be honest with you, I think the president is not given enough credit for that.
00:06:33.360 And so if anyone can bring these two sides together and get a just peace, I think it's going to be President Trump.
00:06:39.820 Governor, you know, we've talked about hemispheric defense and how the central part of that is, you know, Greenland, the Panama Canal, but really the Central Pacific as the strategic heartland of the United States.
00:06:52.640 We've been spending a lot of time in the territories in the Pacific, particularly since they've had some problems here of late.
00:06:59.340 But it all centers on Alaska being absolutely central to the strategic defense of our hemisphere with this great power struggle in the Arctic.
00:07:08.180 And now the United States looking at a hemispheric defense that will center in the Pacific.
00:07:12.580 Do the folks in Alaska, do the citizens up there understand how important you guys are strategically to the defense of the country?
00:07:21.140 You know, I think so, Steve.
00:07:22.640 We are detached from the lower 48.
00:07:25.360 We're up here in the Arctic, as you mentioned, rightfully so.
00:07:28.480 And I think a lot of people don't realize that.
00:07:30.000 We are a northern Pacific sovereign.
00:07:32.100 We are a western Pacific sovereign.
00:07:33.860 I always tell people that, and they find it fascinating, we're a thousand miles closer to Australia than California is.
00:07:40.280 That's how far west we are.
00:07:42.180 And so I think a lot of Alaskans understand that.
00:07:44.760 We have more military, retired military per capita than any other state in the country.
00:07:49.460 We have admirals up here, generals from the Joint Chiefs of Staff retire here.
00:07:54.420 People love Alaska.
00:07:55.740 People understand our position.
00:07:57.200 And as you know, historically speaking, Alaska was invaded by the Japanese during World War II.
00:08:02.280 That's how close we are to Japan.
00:08:04.420 And Alaska was born at the height of the Cold War in 1959.
00:08:08.700 And so we're very familiar with this neighborhood.
00:08:13.580 The Russians flying over are very close to our airspace.
00:08:16.500 The Koreans with a missile reached to our state. 1.00
00:08:20.420 And the Chinese flying their warships to the Brang Strait.
00:08:25.360 We understand the neighborhood that we live in.
00:08:27.220 We understand our responsibility as a true fort for North America and this side of the world.
00:08:32.220 And so, again, I think I think people are proud to be Alaskans, proud of our military, proud of our position in the globe and proud of what we can do for the defense of North America.
00:08:45.760 Governor, obviously, President Trump's on a roll in trying to get peace, as you mentioned, Armenia, Azerbaijan, you know, all over this.
00:08:54.240 Clearly, the Ukraine war with a number of casualties and destruction is central to this.
00:08:59.060 That's why he's going to Alaska to meet Putin.
00:09:01.340 But the rest of his agenda, the economic part, the domestic part, how do Alaskans feel right now?
00:09:06.400 It's always been a big MAGA state.
00:09:08.540 Where are we right now with how the domestic policy, particularly the economic policies, are kicking in in Alaska and among the MAGA faithful, sir?
00:09:18.200 It's been fantastic, Steve.
00:09:19.760 He is, in my opinion, he has been the best president for Alaska.
00:09:23.520 Alaska was purchased by Russia.
00:09:26.160 A lot of folks don't know that either, but they will.
00:09:27.840 In 1867 for about $7.2 million for its strategic location and its resources.
00:09:34.380 We have the only North American oil giant at Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope.
00:09:39.460 We were the pioneers in LNG export for gas in the world in 1968 from Nikiski, Alaska, to Japan for 50 years.
00:09:47.880 And President Trump understands not just our location and, as we mentioned, the strategic military purpose there, but our resources, massive amounts of oil, massive amounts of gas.
00:09:59.280 We have a huge gas line, the Alaskan gas line LNG project that is on the verge of being consummated that would provide gas to our allies in the Pacific for 50, 60 years.
00:10:09.100 It would revolutionize the economy here in Alaska.
00:10:11.860 Critical minerals, rare earths, incredible finds of graphite, largest graphite find in North America, nickel find, one of the largest nickel finds in the world, lead, zinc, you name it, timber.
00:10:24.240 I mean, the list goes on and on.
00:10:25.620 This place was blessed.
00:10:27.360 President Trump understands that.
00:10:28.800 And the great thing about President Trump is his first term, we were able to open up ANWR and start working on some projects up there.
00:10:36.260 The Biden administration came in.
00:10:38.120 Everything ground to a halt.
00:10:39.820 We had 70, we call them sanctions, 70 federal executive actions against Alaska.
00:10:47.120 At the same time, the Biden administration was having conversations with some of our enemies in Iran and Venezuela about producing more oil while trying to shut Alaska down.
00:10:55.980 So this election was pivotal for the state of Alaska as a resource state.
00:11:00.960 President Trump, with his executive order, the only state in the country to get an executive order, we were the only state mentioned in the state of the state.
00:11:08.580 And we only have 740,000 people in the state, Steve, but President Trump recognizes the importance across the board that Alaska is to the United States of America.
00:11:18.020 Now, tomorrow, this is going to end with a joint press conference.
00:11:23.480 It'll be historic, a joint press conference between with President Putin and President Trump.
00:11:28.400 Can you walk us through anything else on the evolution of the day that you know that you can share with us?
00:11:34.100 I'll have the opportunity to meet the president early in the morning when he arrives, greet him here in Alaska as the governor.
00:11:38.780 We'll probably have a brief conversation about how things are going with the natural gas pipeline, other aspects of his executive order.
00:11:47.840 You know, some people also don't realize, Steve, that when most of our presidents go to Asia, they land in Anchorage and refuel.
00:11:54.580 President Trump has done that often, especially in his first term.
00:11:57.260 And we were able to get an opportunity to go on Air Force One several times, sit down and talk about Alaska.
00:12:02.800 But we'll meet with him in the morning.
00:12:04.940 And then, you know, people have asked me this question.
00:12:07.380 If it's a short meeting with Putin, what does that mean?
00:12:10.320 You know, we'll find out.
00:12:11.500 That may mean that it didn't go as well as we want it to go.
00:12:15.180 If it's a longer meeting, I think what that does is that bodes well for future meetings to try and get, once again, a just peace in that part of the world.
00:12:21.940 So this four or five hours is going to be crucial.
00:12:24.840 I think it's the president's going to look Putin in the eye, you know, take the measure of the man to see if he's, you know, very sincere about doing his part to help end this war.
00:12:35.640 And then hopefully what happens after this, you have President Zelensky, President Trump, President Putin, and maybe we can get somewhere with a peace agreement.
00:12:46.560 That's the hope.
00:12:49.720 Governor Don Levy, Alaska is a big mega state.
00:12:52.680 We've got a huge war room posse up there. 0.67
00:12:54.880 So honored to have you on.
00:12:55.900 I look forward to having you back.
00:12:56.820 Where do people keep up with you on social media, sir?
00:12:58.840 How do they follow you?
00:13:00.440 They go to our Twitter.
00:13:01.740 They go to our Facebook site.
00:13:03.460 They go to our website.
00:13:04.880 But you do have a big following up here.
00:13:07.520 And if you don't mind, Steve, one of the biggest fans of yours is my friend Walter.
00:13:11.020 He's watching right now.
00:13:12.380 And I'm going to do a shout out to him.
00:13:13.620 But this is an incredible state, Steve.
00:13:15.580 If you have not been up here, we're inviting you up here to do a little podcast up here.
00:13:19.320 And we'd love to host you in the great state of Alaska.
00:13:23.080 Oh, we'll do that in a second.
00:13:25.200 I love Alaska.
00:13:25.960 Governor, thank you so much.
00:13:27.280 Look forward to tomorrow in the strategic asset that is the state of Alaska.
00:13:33.020 Thank you so much, sir.
00:13:34.420 Thank you.
00:13:35.040 Really incredible.
00:13:36.800 Great state.
00:13:37.720 Great people.
00:13:38.440 Great location for this historic meeting.
00:13:41.340 President Trump leaving in the morning.
00:13:43.500 I believe the meeting is going to take at least the five or six hours they're talking about, maybe even longer.
00:13:47.920 There will be a joint press conference.
00:13:49.280 We're going to give you the whole lay of the land.
00:13:51.800 Our own Brian Glenn will be there.
00:13:53.480 He's en route right now.
00:13:54.580 Brian will join us in the morning for the morning show.
00:13:57.020 Wall-to-wall coverage by Real America Voice in the war room on the historic summit in the great state of Alaska between President Putin of Russia and Donald John Trump, the president of the United States.
00:14:11.000 We've got some domestic politics to talk about.
00:14:14.620 I think Gavin Newsom announced for president today in 2028, put a shot across everybody's bow.
00:14:20.360 He's coming in hot.
00:14:21.860 You know what it's about?
00:14:22.800 It's about redistricting.
00:14:24.420 He thinks he can steal a march on us in Texas because of the feckless governor, lieutenant governor, and house speaker down there that kind of blew the chance to get this redistricting done and send a message to the nation.
00:14:37.240 That's okay.
00:14:38.020 We're still going to get it done.
00:14:39.420 Brian Harrison is going to join us.
00:14:40.580 We are packed for the next, what, hour and 45 minutes.
00:14:44.500 Stick around.
00:14:45.320 Got so much going on here in the war room.
00:14:47.260 Brian Harrison from the great state of Texas.
00:14:50.740 How's that?
00:14:51.340 Alaska and Texas back-to-back.
00:14:53.140 Come on, man.
00:14:53.940 In the war room.
00:14:55.000 Short break.
00:14:55.460 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the bloc of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:15:15.160 They're calling this the Rio Reset.
00:15:18.800 As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:15:26.960 While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:15:32.880 The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

00:17:02.060 And right outside, at this exact moment, are dozens and dozens of ICE agents.
00:17:07.540 Donald Trump and his minions, Tom Homan, tough guy.
00:17:23.420 Coley decided, coincidentally or not, that this was a location to advance ICE arrest.
00:17:29.560 Indiscriminate, perhaps, we'll find out later.
00:17:35.400 It was certainly indiscriminate when a 15-year-old disabled boy had a gun put to his head in Los Angeles trying to go to school just a few days ago.
00:17:44.160 I don't need to belabor this, except I want to level set.
00:17:58.440 People are scared.
00:18:00.540 People are fearful.
00:18:02.760 You had a United States senator that was thrown down to the ground in a federal building.
00:18:07.200 Alex Padilla.
00:18:10.820 J.D. Vance's name is Alex Padilla, not Jose Padilla.
00:18:18.300 That's the vice president of the United States.
00:18:23.560 It's another museum not so far away from us.
00:18:27.300 Talks about those 53 days.
00:18:31.240 Some of you know what I'm referring to.
00:18:34.080 Wake up, America.
00:18:35.660 This is a serious moment.
00:18:38.040 Wake up to what's going on.
00:18:40.440 Wake up to the fear, the anxiety.
00:18:43.680 Wake up to what's happening, not just here in Los Angeles, where we saw our streets militarized.
00:18:49.420 We saw our due process rights thrown out the window.
00:18:52.380 You heard the word disappeared.
00:18:54.480 We're here with our state of mind, with the clarity of our purpose and conviction,
00:18:59.800 to recognize that we need to reconcile the world we're living in.
00:19:02.960 We do have agency.
00:19:04.360 We are not bystanders in this world.
00:19:05.820 We can shape the future.
00:19:07.640 And that's what we intend to do today.
00:19:09.660 We're here because Donald Trump on January 6th tried to light democracy on fire, tried to wreck this country, tried to steal an election, as Alex just said, by trying to dial in for 11, almost 12,000 votes.
00:19:24.900 And here we are, an open and plain sight before one vote is cast in the 2026 midterm election.
00:19:31.380 And here he is, once again, trying to rig the system.
00:19:34.920 He doesn't play by a different set of rules.
00:19:36.920 He doesn't believe in the rules.
00:19:39.780 And as a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done.
00:19:45.480 It's not good enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, and talk about the way the world should be.
00:19:52.360 We have got to recognize the cards that have been dealt.
00:19:56.460 And we have got to meet fire with fire.
00:19:58.940 And we've got to be held to a higher level of accountability.
00:20:03.160 So that's what this is about.
00:20:05.140 It's not complicated.
00:20:06.480 We're doing this in reaction to a president of the United States that called a sitting governor of the state of Texas and said, find me five seats.
00:20:14.540 We're doing it in reaction to that act.
00:20:17.940 On November 4th, a special election, coinciding with a lot of local municipal elections, to provide a temporary pathway for congressional maps, we will affirm our commitment to the state independent redistricting after the 2030 census.
00:20:35.160 But we're asking the voters for their consent to do midterm redistricting in 2026, 2028, and 2030 for the congressional maps to respond to what's happening in Texas, to respond what Trump is trying to excite.
00:20:52.940 And we'll do so in a way that also affirms our desire as a state to level the playing field all across the United States.
00:21:00.540 We believe in a national independent redistricting framework.
00:21:04.160 And we believe that's the right goal and the right thing to pursue.
00:21:09.160 And I will just state for the fact, Zoe Lofgren, who runs our California delegation, she authored the bill.
00:21:15.900 Democrats, Democrats unanimously supported that national independent redistricting commission.
00:21:22.640 Republicans were nowhere to be found.
00:21:25.780 They want to rig these elections and they want the power that gerrymandering provides because they know what Donald Trump knows.
00:21:32.900 He's going to lose the midterms.
00:21:36.320 He knows de facto his presidency ends in 17 months.
00:21:41.360 When Speaker Jeffries is back in line.
00:21:44.500 He knows it.
00:21:45.080 Why else, why else would you try to rig the system?
00:21:50.660 Wake up to what Donald Trump is doing.
00:21:54.000 Wake up to his assault.
00:21:55.800 Wake up.
00:21:56.380 Wake up to the assault on institutions and knowledge and history.
00:22:01.340 Wake up to his war on science and public health.
00:22:04.340 Wake up to his war against the American people.
00:22:06.920 This is a guy who lays claim to want to get a Nobel Prize sitting there and betting his knee to Mr. Putin.
00:22:14.880 You have the power to straighten this out.
00:22:22.100 And so I want to, again, just thank everybody for exercising not just their formal authority.
00:22:28.940 Yes, that's what we're doing, but also sharing their moral authority at this moment.
00:22:32.980 I want to thank everybody for being here today, for being here tomorrow.
00:22:38.280 And most importantly, we're counting on all of you on November 4th to be there for each other, to win this election and stand up for our democracy.
00:22:50.580 Thank you all very, very much.
00:22:52.120 Everything you know about the authoritarian tendencies of the president of the United States, I said in a moment ago, wake up, America.
00:22:59.540 Wake up.
00:23:00.780 You will not have a country if he rigs this election.
00:23:03.980 You will have a president who will be running for a third term.
00:23:06.360 Mark my word.
00:23:07.780 I wasn't exaggerating when I said that I received in the mail a Trump 2028 ad from one of his biggest supporters.
00:23:14.400 These guys are not screwing around.
00:23:16.940 The rules do not apply to him.
00:23:18.380 The most corrupt president in history.
00:23:22.640 He doesn't believe in free enterprise, crony capitalism.
00:23:26.920 He is wrecking this country, wrecking the economy.
00:23:30.140 He's a lawless president.
00:23:31.760 Wake up, America.
00:23:33.220 Wake up to what's going on.
00:23:36.520 OK, right there, folks, just so you understand what's going on.
00:23:40.100 Gavin Newsom announced that's his presidential launch today, and he's doing it on, as we told you,
00:23:45.340 the most important topic now in politics all the way through into 2026, the correct and accurate reflection of the demographic shift in the United States of America in redistricting.
00:23:56.940 Both a mid-decade census, there's going to be ruling on this, on the gerrymandering by the Supreme Court.
00:24:04.680 And most importantly, using your agency.
00:24:07.020 Is Newsom like ripping us off?
00:24:09.180 I know they watch the show and take notes, but good God, man.
00:24:12.760 Everything on the board, use your agency.
00:24:14.480 Right now, I want to bring in Brian Harrison.
00:24:17.620 Brian, Newsom would not have been able to get such a big launch today if the feckless governor of Texas had done his job.
00:24:25.480 So here we are.
00:24:26.080 Give us an update on where we are.
00:24:28.100 I'm going to hold you through the break and bring you back because we've got to talk about this.
00:24:30.980 This is game on right now because Newsom's talking the same thing that Harrison and Bannon have been that, hey,
00:24:36.420 if these guys are able to stop the redistricting and somehow Hakeem Jeffries is able to win,
00:24:41.560 the whole Trump movement and Trump revolution comes to a grinding halt with Hakeem Jeffries, the Speaker of the House, sir.
00:24:49.520 Yeah, I mean, look, the Democrats clearly know what time it is in America, and I'm embarrassed to say it.
00:24:53.760 In fact, I'm mad as hell about it.
00:24:55.500 It seems like the Democrat leadership in California is more well aware of the stakes,
00:25:00.400 what is on the line over the next few months than the so-called Republican leadership in the state of Texas.
00:25:05.940 Okay, Gavin Newsom's a leftist, Democrat, progressive, socialist hack who's being cynical, hypocritical, and dishonest
00:25:12.300 in every single thing that he's saying, his whole let's fight fire with fire on this redistricting thing.
00:25:17.120 Are you kidding me?
00:25:17.920 To go with that analogy, he's the biggest arsonist on planet Earth.
00:25:22.020 But here's the reality.
00:25:23.480 I believe the threats that are coming out of him.
00:25:26.040 I believe the rhetoric because the Democrats in California are playing to win.
00:25:30.920 They understand the stakes are nothing less than the future of this great republic, these United States of America.
00:25:37.960 And I'm sorry, I'm sick and tired of Republican states sitting back, taking it on the chin,
00:25:43.400 not fighting as hard for the future of our states and our country as Democrats like Gavin Newsom is.
00:25:50.320 And we've had empty promise after empty promise here in the state of Texas from our elected Republican leadership.
00:25:54.860 Eleven days ago, we were promised by our governor these Democrats that went rogue would have their seats vacated
00:26:00.520 and they'd be booted out of the legislature.
00:26:02.880 Zero seats vacated.
00:26:04.280 Ten days ago, our rhino speaker of the House said that he would arrest these 51 rogue Democrats. 0.94
00:26:09.580 Zero arrest.
00:26:10.960 It is long past time that Republicans fight as hard for the future as the Democrats do.
00:26:15.800 And it's long past time that the state of Texas live up to its reputation and not just be different than California,
00:26:22.340 but be the opposite of California.
00:26:24.440 California wants to go to this progressive left utopian vision,
00:26:28.040 which leads to nothing more than high crime, high housing costs, high taxes, high regulations.
00:26:33.280 And people are fleeing these Democrat states left, right and center for red states.
00:26:37.200 But red states should be leading like Texas. 0.99
00:26:40.100 We should be the number one state in America for liberty.
00:26:42.280 And we should have the boldest, most fearless Republican leadership in the country.
00:26:46.780 We should have redistricted by now.
00:26:48.740 And as far as I'm concerned, if we come back after the Democrats have absolutely wiped the floor
00:26:53.220 with the elected Republican leadership in Texas for the last month,
00:26:56.440 defeating every one of our agenda items in special session one.
00:26:59.560 In special session two, if we do not add more Republican seats to the map, I'm sorry,
00:27:04.080 that's just a further declaration of defeat and waving the white flag of surrender.
00:27:08.440 And my note that the 30 million freedom-loving patriotic Texans, they want better and they deserve better.
00:27:16.160 Brian, hang over a second.
00:27:17.360 I'm going to hold you through the break.
00:27:18.680 You know, the Democrats perfected gerrymandering.
00:27:21.260 You got Pritzker 14 to 3 up in the great state of Illinois.
00:27:24.320 And I think, I don't know, Illinois is 45% Republican.
00:27:27.440 In Massachusetts, 40% Republican.
00:27:30.080 Not one congressional district that's Republican.
00:27:32.580 In fact, in all of New England, which I think breaks down at roughly 40 to 45% Republican, right?
00:27:38.540 All of New England, all of it.
00:27:40.660 I think it's 25 to nothing.
00:27:42.640 Not one Republican House member.
00:27:46.080 California's already perfected this.
00:27:47.360 They're coming again.
00:27:48.480 And Gavin Newsom's coming hard.
00:27:49.960 You know why?
00:27:50.920 He wants to be president of the United States.
00:27:53.280 He's got nothing to run on in his record.
00:27:56.020 So he's going to use this as he's the guy that stopped Trump.
00:27:59.620 That's what it is.
00:28:00.280 He's the guy that stopped Trump.
00:28:02.360 Use your agency.
00:28:03.440 Just hear it right there.
00:28:05.280 Also, who sent him that hat?
00:28:06.720 The Trump 2028 hat.
00:28:08.200 Who did that? 0.91
00:28:09.740 Hmm.
00:28:10.120 One of his biggest supporters.
00:28:11.920 That rattled Gavin Newsom.
00:28:14.460 Okay.
00:28:15.040 Short commercial break.
00:28:16.860 We're going to return.
00:28:18.060 We got Brian Harrison.
00:28:19.900 The great state of Texas.
00:28:21.020 We're going to talk about next week how we get this done.
00:28:23.860 Back in a moment.

00:29:36.740 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:29:40.080 Okay, welcome back.
00:29:44.240 Brian Harrison.
00:29:46.540 Newsom's playing hardball smash-mouth nine.
00:29:50.020 They have a 52-seat delegation.
00:29:52.100 I think they only got nine Republicans.
00:29:56.200 They're going to take as many of those as they can.
00:29:57.860 Gavin Newsom's playing smash-mouth.
00:29:59.320 Gavin Newsom understands something.
00:30:00.740 He wants to be president of the United States.
00:30:02.100 He cannot run on his record at California because it's a disaster.
00:30:05.860 How do I know that?
00:30:06.620 Hundreds of thousands of people every year leave and flee to other states in the West,
00:30:11.340 particularly the great state of Texas, right?
00:30:14.440 So that's why his demographics are shifting.
00:30:17.800 But why, brother, the Harrison plan was every week that we're out, and you said this two weeks
00:30:23.880 ago, add another seat. 0.65
00:30:25.080 So that's last week one, this week one.
00:30:27.440 So we're not five anymore.
00:30:28.820 We're seven, correct?
00:30:30.120 The governor said the other night he was babbling on Fox.
00:30:33.340 He could do to nine.
00:30:34.800 Why are we not going?
00:30:36.240 Why are we not maximalist here?
00:30:37.880 Why are we not taking nine if nine can be fairly allocated, sir?
00:30:43.320 Yeah, well, and let me just recap everybody where we are, because we're on the last day
00:30:48.080 of the special session, because you've heard a lot of talk about all these punishments that
00:30:51.960 have supposedly been meted out.
00:30:53.080 Let me just give folks some statistics here on the last day.
00:30:55.520 The number of Democrat seats that have been vacated, zero.
00:30:58.240 The number of Democrats arrested, zero.
00:31:00.540 The fines they're going to actually be forced to pay, zero.
00:31:03.620 The chairmanships and vice chairmanships that have been taken away, zero.
00:31:06.860 Committees they've been removed from, zero.
00:31:08.960 Seniority lost, zero.
00:31:10.700 Additional Republican seats added to the map.
00:31:12.360 We'll come back to this, but so far, zero.
00:31:14.540 How many of them have had their budget cuts, or budgets cut, at least in a way that they
00:31:17.720 can't just fill in with political dollars?
00:31:19.640 Zero.
00:31:20.140 Again, still haven't even touched their parking spots.
00:31:22.860 And get this, Gene Wu, the leader of the Democrats, the socialist, is still on the redistricting
00:31:28.580 committee.
00:31:29.260 Okay, so that's how unserious the Republican response has been down here in Texas.
00:31:33.600 Now let's go to the main point.
00:31:34.880 The Democrats are probably going to come back, probably sometime next week.
00:31:38.860 We gavel out tomorrow.
00:31:40.220 We'll try to gavel in.
00:31:41.080 I doubt they're here tomorrow.
00:31:42.360 Probably next week they show back up with their list of demands, whatever.
00:31:46.240 And we'll probably be forced to endorse some bad punishment theater where a few Democrats 0.98
00:31:51.380 maybe are taking off some irrelevant committees that aren't going to meet again anyway.
00:31:54.400 So who knows?
00:31:55.620 Here's the point.
00:31:57.700 Play hardball.
00:31:59.880 Remember the stakes.
00:32:01.140 Know what time it is in our country.
00:32:02.640 And you're right.
00:32:03.320 I was pushing this idea weeks ago.
00:32:05.100 Every week they're gone, add another seat.
00:32:06.880 For folks who are following along, the original maps we contemplated added five new Republican
00:32:12.400 seats in Texas.
00:32:13.380 They were gone two weeks.
00:32:14.520 We better start out tomorrow with a new map that has at least seven seats on, okay, to
00:32:20.780 punish them for what they did and to make up for what California is about to do.
00:32:24.280 But quite frankly, I heard our governor on national television for the last two days start talking
00:32:29.180 about adding 10 seats.
00:32:30.480 So great.
00:32:31.420 If he's got a way to get to 10, let's do that.
00:32:33.600 But here's the reality.
00:32:34.600 If our feckless and weak rhino leadership in the Texas House files another map and there's 1.00
00:32:40.680 only plus five Republican seats on it, I don't care what kind of fake pretend punishments they're 0.97
00:32:46.180 going to meet out to the Democrats.
00:32:47.600 We are not up to the challenge.
00:32:50.760 And we will once again have allowed the Democrats to defeat us on not just the biggest issue in
00:32:55.540 Texas, but arguably the biggest issue for the future of the country and maybe the world.
00:33:00.600 So as far as I'm concerned, the only punishment I'm looking for right now, how many more Republican 0.94
00:33:05.400 seats are we being added to that map?
00:33:07.140 And it better be a number between seven and 10.
00:33:11.480 Brian Harrison, where do people follow you?
00:33:14.020 Your Twitter account is revered among Republican leadership in the great state of Texas.
00:33:19.620 Where does our audience go to participate?
00:33:23.640 That's right.
00:33:24.360 Go piss off a rhino today. 0.99
00:33:26.980 That's right.
00:33:27.980 Go irritate.
00:33:28.940 Do your civic service and your daily duty to go irritate at least one rhino today by going 1.00
00:33:34.320 to my social media on X, at Brian E. Harrison, at Brian E. Harrison on X, at Brian E. Harrison.
00:33:40.960 And guys, just please, the possity, Steve, I'd be remiss if I didn't say thank you again,
00:33:45.700 because I assure you, if we hadn't have done, if y'all hadn't have done and lit up the phone
00:33:49.160 lines, social media, Facebook, Twitter of the leadership in the state of Texas, this
00:33:53.160 thing probably would have been already put to bed by now.
00:33:55.360 They now know failure is not an option, but remind them, not only so they get the redistricting
00:34:01.200 done, minimum seven seats, better eight, nine, even better than that.
00:34:05.380 Let's go.
00:34:05.940 Anything less than seven, pure capitulation to the Democrats.
00:34:08.860 Amen, brother.
00:34:12.040 Thank you, Brian.
00:34:12.680 Look forward to having you on tomorrow and throughout next week.
00:34:15.700 Got to get this done now.
00:34:16.880 Talk to you soon, my friend.
00:34:17.780 God bless y'all.
00:34:18.500 The trains leaving the station in California.
00:34:22.500 Just understand that.
00:34:23.520 Leaving the station.
00:34:24.940 We are absolutely packed today.
00:34:27.320 Now through the second hour, also, I haven't even gotten time to break down what's going
00:34:30.660 to happen tomorrow in the great state of Alaska.
00:34:33.200 I really want to thank the governor for kicking off the show today.
00:34:36.580 Anthony Esposito joins us.
00:34:38.580 So, Anthony, you're one of the big brains on Wall Street.
00:34:42.480 I appreciate you coming in.
00:34:44.300 Was that print this morning on inflation?
00:34:47.780 Was that a bad print?
00:34:49.840 Is it, how should we interpret it?
00:34:51.880 We've had a pretty good run here on the tariffs not kicking in inflation.
00:34:56.600 We know affordability and inflation, food prices, all of it, housing prices are still
00:35:01.120 top of mind with people.
00:35:02.340 Our President Trump's trying to get everything else done.
00:35:04.660 He and Besson are focused on this.
00:35:06.400 Just walk our audience through your understanding of what the numbers today told us.
00:35:13.220 All right, Steve.
00:35:14.120 Thanks for having me.
00:35:15.640 The numbers, the CPI and the PPI numbers this week show a couple of things.
00:35:19.400 The first thing, as you just alluded to, is that we're not seeing any tariff influence
00:35:24.880 or any tariff upward pressure on inflation in the country.
00:35:28.800 So, the fear-mongering was wrong.
00:35:31.220 History showed us that it would be wrong, and it is wrong.
00:35:34.120 What we're seeing in the numbers is we're seeing inflation and energy come down, which
00:35:38.740 is a huge deal.
00:35:39.960 Food inflation come down.
00:35:42.000 We saw real wages, the real value of the take-home dollar go up.
00:35:46.620 We saw small business sentiment go up to a five-month high.
00:35:50.460 So, we're seeing a lot of positives.
00:35:52.420 There are pockets where either methodology is wrong, which you could make that argument,
00:35:56.880 or pockets where it's just a little stickier as far as prices coming down.
00:36:01.340 And those had to do today with services in the PPI report, and they had to do with shelter,
00:36:07.780 owner-equivalent rents in the CPI report.
00:36:10.700 So, those items are stickier as far as coming down, but still well below the levels that
00:36:16.020 we saw under the Biden administration.
00:36:18.780 All good news.
00:36:19.840 As far as the market, the market's on fire, where the S&P is itching to continue to hit
00:36:25.660 new highs, as it does.
00:36:27.280 Two days ago, off the CPI report, we had our first close ever above $6,400 on the cash.
00:36:33.320 We continue to grind higher through the PPI report.
00:36:36.060 It's interesting, the CPI report, those positives in there as a cooler report, pushed the market
00:36:43.340 higher.
00:36:44.140 PPI initially looked hot.
00:36:46.160 People kind of dug into it.
00:36:47.660 The market took a little bit of a dip in the overnight in the futures or the pre-market
00:36:51.320 in the futures.
00:36:52.460 And then as we got through the cash session, what happened is we got back to flat over that
00:36:57.140 number.
00:36:57.520 So, what that tells you is that market participants are net positive on the report and see these
00:37:04.340 reports as, A, a cooling of inflation, and B, it gives potential for the rate cuts that
00:37:10.960 President Trump has been touting and that Mr. Powell has been resisting.
00:37:15.240 So, inflation looks like it's coming our way.
00:37:18.160 The trend is coming our way.
00:37:20.220 It is coming down, and it sets up for potential rate cuts, which is what the market is looking
00:37:24.780 for at this point.
00:37:25.460 The bond market, too, the 10-year treasury.
00:37:31.180 I mean, it seems like both the equity markets and the bond market are starting to now kind
00:37:36.020 of understand what President Trump's economic plan is and how Besson and Trump are executing
00:37:43.540 it.
00:37:43.840 Am I incorrect on that?
00:37:45.220 Or do you think that with the 10-year treasury showing us that the bond market's in a pretty
00:37:50.500 good place?
00:37:51.000 Now, the 10-year treasuries have come down off of the Biden peak.
00:37:55.440 We're down at about 4.2 now on the 10-year, which is a better level than we saw under Biden,
00:38:01.720 even as Powell made those politicized, drastic rate cuts heading into the election.
00:38:08.560 That was interesting because we saw him cut the Fed funds rate, but we saw the 10-year continue
00:38:13.180 to rally as far as rates.
00:38:14.780 So, that was kind of not getting the job done.
00:38:17.720 The bond market is ready to fade, and as the bonds rally, rates will come in.
00:38:25.080 That will happen as inflation cools or continues to cool, and as growth starts to reignite,
00:38:30.800 real growth starts to reignite, and real take-home wages rise.
00:38:34.400 What we need the bond market to realize is, very simply, inflation is continuing to come
00:38:39.660 under control.
00:38:40.300 And you would be willing to lend the government money at a lower return because of the stability
00:38:47.300 of the economy, economic growth, and debt.
00:38:50.400 So, we want to see debt start to come down, which is where we're heading.
00:38:54.960 We want to see real growth, which will help with deficit spending and those debt numbers
00:38:58.840 coming down.
00:38:59.580 And we want to see inflation continue to fade.
00:39:01.820 If we can see those things, it's kind of another cog in the wheel of this economic plan, right?
00:39:09.520 We have taxes, we have tariffs, we have deregulation and growth, and what will that do?
00:39:15.620 That will bring rates down on the 10-year, and it will increase take-home pay and economic
00:39:22.080 growth, which is what we're looking for.
00:39:23.900 The bottom line is, that 10-year yield is the focus for the consumer.
00:39:28.460 It's the focus for what we pay for our goods.
00:39:30.980 The 10-year yield is very closely related to the 30-year fixed mortgage rate, the rate
00:39:36.560 we pay on our credit cards, the rate we pay for an auto loan.
00:39:39.600 All of these things come down to that 10-year yield, and I think President Trump and Secretary
00:39:44.440 Besson understand that, and they understand that their plan in this move forward will get
00:39:49.400 those rates lower.
00:39:54.320 Scott Besson got the job because he's a safe pair of hands, and the capital markets understand
00:39:58.840 he understands capital markets as well as anybody.
00:40:01.480 He's done something he hasn't done, and that's the last couple of days.
00:40:04.160 He's actually putting Powell on the spot and saying, hey, we're well beyond where we should
00:40:08.860 be as far as rates go.
00:40:10.140 We should have 150 basis point to 175 basis point, I think.
00:40:14.220 That's one and a half points to 1.75 point rate cut.
00:40:18.480 Do you support that?
00:40:19.600 You know, at this point, I do.
00:40:22.880 I think that we want to get to a neutral rate.
00:40:26.220 We don't want the rate to be restrictive.
00:40:28.420 And at this point, it looks like it's restrictive.
00:40:31.040 So I think Secretary Besson's point yesterday heading into the cash session was he could see
00:40:36.020 a 50 basis point cut coming.
00:40:38.120 And overall, he thinks 150 basis points to 175 basis points in a cut would bring us to a
00:40:44.640 neutral spot.
00:40:45.300 And I think that you could support that with the math.
00:40:48.520 I think it's interesting that he's making the comment.
00:40:51.560 I would venture to guess that they're pretty frustrated with Powell.
00:40:55.680 I think Powell is not data dependent.
00:40:57.980 I think Powell is extremely politicized and pushing back in a way that he shouldn't.
00:41:02.420 He really, he has overseen or miss, he's overseen a massive amount of missteps at the Fed, whether
00:41:10.140 it's monetary policy or balance sheet.
00:41:12.440 He's losing $100 billion a year at the Fed, and he's been doing that for three years now.
00:41:17.720 It's really unprecedented how poorly he's managing the Fed.
00:41:21.560 And the Fed and the Treasury really are working in the same ecosystem.
00:41:25.240 So if you have a Fed that's not moving along the path to improve economic conditions, lower
00:41:31.100 rates, lower inflation and improve growth, and you have a Treasury that's working in the
00:41:35.720 other direction that's trying to get those things accomplished.
00:41:38.000 I think it's frustrating, and I think Secretary Besson's just voicing a very educated, very
00:41:43.420 seasoned opinion of where he thinks the neutral rate is.
00:41:49.700 Anthony, where do people get you on social media?
00:41:52.020 Where do they go to find out more about your fund?

00:44:56.560 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:45:01.640 Folks, you are the tip of the tip of the spear.
00:45:04.380 You are driving not just the narrative.
00:45:06.900 You're driving the action of modern American politics.
00:45:11.340 It is upon your shoulders when President Trump came back from having the election stolen in 2020
00:45:19.420 and came back to Mar-a-Lago in January of 2021 when President Trump had to make that fundamental decision.
00:45:26.680 The most courageous, morally courageous, physically courageous decision in American political history
00:45:35.340 to say they stole this and I've got to set things right.
00:45:39.780 I will run again for the presidency when the Murdochs and everybody in the Republican establishment,
00:45:44.220 everybody turned against him except you in this audience that had his back
00:45:49.280 and said, hey, you're our guy.
00:45:52.420 And, of course, in the logic of American history, it always had to be Trump.
00:45:56.740 You remember, we talked about this every day in those dark days.
00:46:00.800 Now, they seem dark, but we could see the sunlit uplands, right, of what victory meant, electoral victory.
00:46:10.620 Now, we're down to it, okay?
00:46:14.940 And this gets back to seizing the institutions.
00:46:19.140 You see President Trump doing this in Washington, D.C.
00:46:21.880 Even Morning Joe this morning said, hey, it is a terrible argument to make
00:46:26.920 to say that crime's not a problem in D.C. and crime's coming down.
00:46:29.980 You see all these shows, and you don't have to watch them.
00:46:31.980 Our staff does to curate it.
00:46:33.620 It is over and over and over again these ridiculous statistics.
00:46:37.780 Everybody, Joe Scarborough said, everybody, regardless if you're left-wing progressive
00:46:42.960 or right-wing Republican, everybody knows D.C. is a hellhole, a crime-ridden, filthy, dirty, graffiti-ridden.
00:46:51.940 It's an embarrassment what's happened to this beautiful Capitol, and Trump's had enough of it.
00:46:57.380 And that's why seizing the institutions, particularly about the imperial Capitol,
00:47:02.020 at the same time the cultural institutions of the Kennedy Center and the Smithsonian
00:47:06.480 and many more to come, and, of course, the universities and the law firms and the media,
00:47:11.680 confronting them all.
00:47:13.020 This is what seizing the institutions is about, and it's going to be tough.
00:47:17.120 It's going to be gnarly.
00:47:19.100 It's not going to go in a straight line.
00:47:20.940 You're going to have good days.
00:47:22.020 You're going to have bad days.
00:47:22.820 We're going to continue to press on.
00:47:23.960 This is why you, this audience, drove the action in back of a handful of grassroots folks
00:47:31.940 and a guy named Brian Harrison.
00:47:34.520 This is where Glenn Story comes in.
00:47:35.860 The Patriot Mobile team is so amazing to drive this coming out of Texas
00:47:41.740 because of massive demographic shifts.
00:47:44.800 And now, because you've made it a huge deal, President Trump has said,
00:47:48.900 he's told Lutnick, we've got to have a mid-decade census, and we've got to do it right.
00:47:54.320 And you heard Wade Miller Day, and Lutnick's got to get on with it.
00:47:56.600 You've got to fire today all those deadbeats at the Bureau of the Census Bureau
00:48:03.260 that gave us the worst census ever last time and blamed it on the pandemic.
00:48:08.840 Seize the institutions.
00:48:11.320 The Democrats are tough.
00:48:13.120 The Democrats are hard.
00:48:16.020 Gavin Newsom, you know, Pritzker announced his kind of the other day,
00:48:18.860 and he's lucky he's a billionaire.
00:48:19.940 He's a rich kid.
00:48:20.480 He doesn't really know what he's doing.
00:48:21.420 He kind of wanders around.
00:48:22.420 You saw what he did with the folks he invited up there.
00:48:25.260 That's his way of doing things.
00:48:26.580 He's just going to spend a lot of money trying to be president.
00:48:29.300 First of all, Pritzker ain't never going to be president.
00:48:32.500 Gavin Newsom understands he's a political animal.
00:48:35.540 He understands he doesn't have a record to run on from California.
00:48:39.740 The disaster they made that, that's why people are leaving.
00:48:42.260 He's going to do this.
00:48:43.900 With the Democrats being in the fetal position everywhere except in the courts
00:48:48.540 and legal, lawfare, in Alex Marlowe's book so brilliantly lays it out,
00:48:56.060 the lawfare, he's going to step forward and say, hey, I'm going to do it,
00:49:00.380 and the first thing I'm going to do is thwart the feckless governor of Texas,
00:49:04.460 and I'm going to do a redistricting, and I'm going to get you seven seats.
00:49:08.180 Remember, you're going to have a 52-seat delegation in California
00:49:13.040 before we do the census and take a couple of three away. 0.94
00:49:16.900 But there's going to be like Massachusetts.
00:49:18.320 There's going to be like New England.
00:49:19.380 You're going to have no Republican representatives, or if you do,
00:49:23.180 it's going to be 50 to 2.
00:49:24.420 It's game on, folks, and you're driving this.
00:49:29.580 We need, and DeSantis has done it.
00:49:31.840 Florida's going to step up.
00:49:33.260 Ohio.
00:49:34.800 Indiana's got to step up.
00:49:36.160 We're going to spend more time about Indiana in the next couple of days.
00:49:38.440 Got to step up.
00:49:39.160 Don't want to hear it.
00:49:39.820 No whining in the war room.
00:49:41.160 Got to step up.
00:49:42.620 I think Missouri got another one there.
00:49:44.100 We're going to have 14 or 15 before we do the census
00:49:46.560 and before the Supreme Court kicks in.
00:49:48.000 We need those, and we need them now.
00:49:50.420 The reason you need them, it's fair.
00:49:52.700 We're talking about fairness to people.
00:49:55.220 This is unacceptable, and it's unacceptable what's happened up in New England,
00:49:59.120 and we're going to get to that later.
00:50:00.420 But right now, we've got 15 or more in Texas.
00:50:04.380 And Abbott, look, you've been so hapless.
00:50:06.880 And look, you can go on Fox and mumble through all that stuff you want.
00:50:09.580 There's a bunch of 70-year-olds.
00:50:10.640 That audience is irrelevant.
00:50:12.760 A bunch of 70-year-olds, okay?
00:50:16.340 The War Room, Real America's Voices, other podcasts,
00:50:19.420 is where you get the battle-hardened combat veterans of politics,
00:50:23.480 modern politics, and they think you're a joke
00:50:26.840 because you can't come in with all that happy talk you put up there.
00:50:30.600 You should have done this during the regular session.
00:50:33.040 We wouldn't be in this situation now.
00:50:34.380 And guess what?
00:50:34.860 We want all nine or maybe ten.
00:50:37.860 There should be one for every week.
00:50:39.540 And if you said there's nine or ten available, we want all nine or ten.
00:50:42.360 We want to take a maximalist position on this, a maximalist position.
00:50:47.520 In New England, they did.
00:50:48.560 It's 25 to nothing.
00:50:50.920 And you got the governor of Massachusetts saying,
00:50:52.820 hey, I'm going to have to do rejection.
00:50:54.060 Lady, I think it's 10 to nothing.
00:50:56.440 You already squeezed all the juice out of that.
00:50:59.560 Six o'clock show is going to be on fire.
