Transcript

00:00:00.000 I think fear is pretty pervasive, and I wonder if you guys feel the way Jim Comey does or if you ever feel afraid. You first, Brendan.
00:00:10.420 Well, it's a great question, and I'm glad that, you know, James Comey is striking a tone of defiance. I think that's exactly right.
00:00:17.920 I completely understand why a person would feel afraid in this moment, no matter who you are.
00:00:24.460 But just as there are reasons for fear, I think that there are reasons for defiance and even reasons for hope.
00:00:30.180 You know, one of the things that I find encouraging here is that this administration wasn't able to secure an indictment on its first proposed charge,
00:00:37.700 which suggests that even only seeing the government's evidence, that these grand jurors rejected them.
00:00:44.880 So, you know, the fact that they've got an incredibly weak case, I think, is a reason for hope.
00:00:48.800 I think the other reason for hope is that this is a terrifically incompetent administration generally,
00:00:54.140 and it seems like an incompetent leadership that's coming into the Eastern District of Virginia.
00:00:58.320 So even though this administration might be pursuing political prosecutions and pursuing it very aggressively,
00:01:05.340 I don't think that they're necessarily going to pursue them particularly well.
00:01:08.840 Asked Trump if there would be more prosecutions of people on his enemies list, and the president said this.
00:01:13.660 It's not a list, but I think there'll be others.
00:01:17.140 I mean, they're corrupt.
00:01:18.500 These were corrupt, radical-left Democrats.
00:01:22.320 There'll be others.
00:01:23.020 Look, it was—that's my opinion.
00:01:25.080 They weaponized the Justice Department like nobody in history.
00:01:32.660 There will be others.
00:01:33.760 Eight months in, Donald Trump is making his personal revenge the law of the land.
00:01:38.420 You and I have talked for months about the weaponization of the Department of Justice against his political opponents.
00:01:44.780 You know, Comey was not the first person who was targeted or even the first person indicted.
00:01:49.160 You know, Congresswoman MacGyver in New Jersey has been indicted for doing her job in oversight over ICE.
00:01:55.040 But notwithstanding that, it was still shocking to actually see it happen,
00:02:00.620 to see that Donald Trump told the attorney general in a truth social post
00:02:05.880 that he needed to go after several individuals, one of whom was Comey,
00:02:11.620 that it was urgent to do so, and then essentially triggered the firing of the then-acting U.S. attorney
00:02:20.640 that he had nominated.
00:02:22.180 There was then this interregnary period that I still haven't seen a lot of reporting on,
00:02:25.620 in which another woman was apparently going to become the acting U.S. attorney,
00:02:29.240 and then she was not, and instead his former personal lawyer, with no prosecutorial experience,
00:02:34.860 was put in place and returned an indictment.
00:02:37.020 I mean, it is shocking in that this is the kind of conduct that you expect from a third-world dictatorship.
00:02:43.920 It's the kind of conduct that, frankly, in normal times would lead to impeachment.
00:02:48.260 But here we are.
00:02:49.780 From what Comey did, which we know he did, I mean, they doctored evidence to get warrants to spy on Trump.
00:02:57.440 He basically created a conspiracy to unseat a president and sabotage a presidency.
00:03:02.720 It almost seems like he was undercharged here.
00:03:09.080 Yeah, I think so.
00:03:11.060 People have to remember what is the substance of these lies?
00:03:15.340 What were they for?
00:03:16.940 These news stories that were put out there that were leaked to the press,
00:03:20.100 the thrust of them was that Donald Trump was under the throes of a foreign government.
00:03:26.540 He was a Russian agent.
00:03:28.220 Think of the national security implications of implying that your own president is a spy for a foreign country.
00:03:34.860 Would that be tolerated in any normal country?
00:03:37.300 You cannot let that go on.
00:03:39.260 You can't have an FBI director doing these kinds of things
00:03:42.160 and engaging in these sorts of manipulations and lying to Congress about it and getting away with it.
00:03:47.280 Yeah, he basically framed him as a traitor.
00:03:49.540 And what's the punishment for treason?
00:03:51.620 We all know what that is.
00:03:53.020 I mean, this is the worst thing you can possibly do.
00:03:57.600 You know, James is a little bit of a drama queen.
00:04:00.340 He put out a video last night.
00:04:02.100 He's the victim.
00:04:03.220 He's the martyr.
00:04:04.040 He's going to fight like hell.
00:04:06.760 How do you see James Comey mentally going into this trial?
00:04:12.160 One thing I think we've learned during the Russiagate period is that James Comey has a peculiar sort of vanity that I think is often his undoing.
00:04:24.560 He often thinks that he's being clever when he's not.
00:04:27.520 He often thinks that he's showing tremendous rectitude when he's actually looking like a phony on television.
00:04:34.300 The more exposure that he gets for himself, I think, actually, the more it will redound to Trump's benefit.
00:04:40.100 So, as far as I'm concerned, it's good if he's on television more during this period.
00:04:46.140 The Justice Department is now subpoenaing Fannie Willis, who is, of course, the prosecutor in Atlanta, Georgia, who brought charges against the co-conspirators on January 6th.
00:04:55.760 The FBI is firing 15 agents who five years ago kneeled briefly and were in a photo.
00:05:01.340 Again, there's the focus thing and there's the, like, rushing aspect of it, which both seem...
00:05:06.100 I mean, I think part of the problem with this stuff is that the number of Americans who know who Fannie Willis is, my guess is it's relatively small compared to the number of Americans who know...
00:05:14.420 Jimmy Kimmel.
00:05:14.900 Yes, exactly.
00:05:16.200 And so, you know, when he picks these really high-profile fights with people who have, you know, it's not the same level of who exists in the celebrity realm.
00:05:24.640 Yes.
00:05:24.960 It's just like, you know, his fights with Taylor Swift have also not, I think, kind of redounded to his benefit.
00:05:30.480 Stephen Miller, the fanatic who is driving much of Donald Trump's domestic policy agenda, calls the Democratic Party a domestic extremist organization.
00:05:38.080 And yesterday, Miller seemed beyond pleased with a new order Trump signed that essentially directs the government to investigate and prosecute politically progressive people and organizations who they claim falsely fund left-wing political violence.
00:05:51.900 The FBI has apparently fired 15 agents who took a knee during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protest.
00:05:58.880 That's the Washington Post is reporting that.
00:06:01.080 The agents say they didn't necessarily do it to express solidarity with the protesters' goals, but to defuse a tense situation.
00:06:07.820 Not that it would necessarily matter.
00:06:09.480 We've also got a New York Times report that Fannie Willis, who is, of course, the Georgia prosecutor who brought charges against the crew of folks that tried to engineer the January 6th,
00:06:22.280 that the Department of Justice has issued a subpoena for her travel records.
00:06:25.960 And the reason I bring both these up is the idea of them moving very quickly and very aggressively in front of all of us and what you think that means about the strength of what they're doing and its likelihood of succeeding.
00:06:43.420 Well, as always, the likelihood of succeeding depends on us.
00:06:47.060 But I think you're right to point to the speed as not necessarily a sign of strength.
00:06:51.620 One thing which is very characteristic of this crew is that they don't have an overall plan.
00:06:59.320 They want to change the regime, for sure, but there's no one central figure who's making the plan.
00:07:05.180 Instead, you have this kind of stochastic and very often personal effort, which is also a point of weakness.
00:07:11.580 It's reprehensible, illegal, and against everything in the best of American traditions to turn justice against individuals.
00:07:19.160 But it's also not the most effective way of doing things because we can sympathize with individuals.
00:07:25.300 And that's part of what the pushback will be about.
00:07:28.440 There's a phrase, and I didn't hear about this phrase until just a few years ago, China hawks.
00:07:33.800 Yes.
00:07:34.640 And apparently, if you're a China hawk, you get to wear that label with pride.
00:07:39.140 It's almost like a badge of honor.
00:07:40.660 Right.
00:07:41.080 It's a badge of shame.
00:07:42.140 There's no question it's a badge of shame.
00:07:45.480 There's no question that although they want what's in the best interest of our country, and we all want what's in the best interest of our country, destroying that pipeline of the American dream is not patriotic.
00:07:58.480 Right.
00:07:59.680 They think they're doing the right thing for our country, but it's not patriotic, not even a little bit.
00:08:04.800 No, no, to the CCP.
00:08:06.860 Chinese Communist Party, CCP virus.
00:08:12.300 We must hold them accountable.
00:08:16.360 CCP must pay for our lives.
00:08:20.200 Wild day out here in New York City.
00:08:21.760 The key difference between Trump 1.0 and Trump 2.0, and Tyler just hit that depth, is now that he has people in place at the Justice Department, like Pam Bondi, who don't care what facts are.
00:08:38.540 They don't care about the rule of law, which requires people, prosecutors, to treat like cases alike.
00:08:45.840 They care about one thing, and that is appeasing Donald Trump, and that's very different from his first term, where we had people like Bill Barr, who, and I have a lot of problems with Bill Barr, Charles, but when it mattered most, that Republican attorney general told Donald Trump that he was wrong about the big lie about the 2020 election.
00:09:06.160 His previous attorney general, Jeff Sessions, you remember, Sessions appropriately recused himself from overseeing the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
00:09:18.220 But that mold, that mold is gone this year.
00:09:22.540 That's why we're saying all of these types of actions against Comey, against Fonnie Willis and Letitia James, but even though the facts don't warrant it.
00:09:32.880 He's got people in place to do whatever he wants done.
00:09:35.340 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:09:43.460 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:09:48.680 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:09:52.940 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:09:54.900 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:09:56.340 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:09:58.980 It's going to happen.
00:10:00.240 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:10:03.640 Mega Media.
00:10:04.540 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:10:10.420 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:10:14.180 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:10:20.540 War Room.
00:10:21.400 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
00:10:23.800 Saturday, 27 September, year of our Lord, 2025.
00:10:32.680 We're going to start tonight, I think it's 7, 730.
00:10:36.640 Oregon plays Penn State.
00:10:38.140 Oregon was Charlie Kirk's team.
00:10:40.680 They actually, I think, honored him, or the coach honored him last week after the assassination.
00:10:45.600 Let's go to Penn State.
00:10:47.520 We're going to start in Pennsylvania.
00:10:48.500 We've got Cliff Maloney and Kevin Posobiec.
00:10:51.200 Jack Posobiec is going to join us in a moment to talk about the investigation of what's happening with terrorism.
00:10:57.140 But let's go to Penn State.
00:10:58.520 Cliff Maloney.
00:10:59.560 Cliff, why are we out there today?
00:11:02.520 And it's going to build over time.
00:11:04.140 You guys have a tailgater.
00:11:05.120 And Charlie Kirk is being honored, sir.
00:11:10.440 Well, Steve, listen, before I even answer it, take a look at this crowd.
00:11:13.520 This is the line right here.
00:11:15.160 Right here is the line of folks lined up.
00:11:17.820 We're giving out free freedom shirts to any of the college students here at Penn State.
00:11:22.260 They're out here.
00:11:23.180 We're honoring Charlie's legacy.
00:11:24.860 We're obviously rooting for the Nittany Lions.
00:11:26.740 We're not rooting for the Ducks.
00:11:28.280 We've got to focus.
00:11:29.420 We are Penn State.
00:11:30.300 But this is about getting every single person out there that sees the difference between good and evil and the horrific tragedy that happened to Charlie.
00:11:38.600 He would want us to do the work.
00:11:40.440 So we're out here.
00:11:41.480 We're not sitting back.
00:11:42.860 You know, we're not just relaxing.
00:11:44.100 We want to get back to it.
00:11:45.680 And we're going to register tons of people.
00:11:47.340 We've got 5,000 of these freedom shirts in Charlie's honor that we're going to be handing out to students.
00:11:54.240 Cliff, talk to me about Charlie.
00:11:55.820 Charlie, we had you on so many times, your grassroots game, really what delivered Pennsylvania was just elbow grease.
00:12:03.820 Talk to me about that, the true memory of Charlie Kirk in Pennsylvania, sir.
00:12:09.180 Yeah, well, look, Charlie gets all the credit.
00:12:10.780 You know, I said this on your show probably a year and a half ago, Steve, that Charlie was the one that called me and said,
00:12:15.520 Hey, listen, Cliff, I need you to go back to your home state of Pennsylvania.
00:12:18.620 You've got to run this PHA's program.
00:12:20.340 I want you to figure out how to hire 120 people, not 500,000 doors.
00:12:25.620 And the honor of my lifetime was being there on the live stream with Charlie on election night.
00:12:30.480 And he was the one that predicted it.
00:12:32.040 He said, if we pull off North Carolina and Georgia, Pennsylvania is going to be the play, as Jack Posovic would say.
00:12:38.500 And that was true.
00:12:39.460 You know, so that moment when we called it on election night and all of a sudden Erica runs in the room and hugs Charlie and they have that emotional exchange.
00:12:47.920 I mean, that video has been played hundreds of millions of times.
00:12:50.520 It's a great memory.
00:12:51.660 He's a great friend.
00:12:52.680 It's a horrific tragedy, but we will continue to do the work.
00:12:58.120 Cliff, the game is not until 730.
00:13:00.500 Can we just put that?
00:13:01.320 I just want to push the camera and show the line today.
00:13:03.420 How can you have a line out there at 10 o'clock in the morning at 10 o'clock in the morning for a game that doesn't even start until.
00:13:10.260 Who's a fan of Charlie Kirk here?
00:13:13.340 The game is at 730.
00:13:17.260 We've got hours and hours.
00:13:22.560 Wow.
00:13:24.240 That's the power of Charlie.
00:13:28.880 Let's hear the chant for Charlie as we go to break.
00:13:31.480 Can we hear it?
00:13:32.980 Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.
00:13:41.120 We love you, Charlie.
00:13:44.700 Amazing.
00:13:45.220 Cliff, Kevin Posobiec live from Penn State was Penn State fans are there to honor Charlie.
00:13:50.740 Charlie was a big Oregon fan.
00:13:52.460 Cliff.
00:13:52.840 Thank you so much, brother.
00:13:53.860 We're going to come back to you later in the show.
00:13:55.440 I'll text you.
00:13:58.820 Wow.

00:14:45.120 We're going to go to the other Posobiec brother, Jack.
00:14:48.940 We've got some updates on the terrorism.
00:14:50.780 We heard all the whining and moaning and bitching from the Democrats at the top in our great cold open.

00:16:42.660 From what Comey did, which we know he did, I mean, they doctored evidence to get warrants
00:16:48.540 to spy on Trump.
00:16:50.340 He basically created a conspiracy to unseat a president and sabotage a presidency.
00:16:56.360 It almost seems like he was undercharged here.
00:17:01.960 Yeah, I think so.
00:17:03.960 People have to remember what is the substance of these lies?
00:17:08.260 What were they for?
00:17:09.160 These news stories that were put out there that were leaked to the press, the thrust of
00:17:14.200 them was that Donald Trump was under the throes of a foreign government.
00:17:19.440 He was a Russian agent.
00:17:21.120 Think of the national security implications of implying that your own president is a spy
00:17:26.460 for a foreign country.
00:17:27.740 Would that be tolerated in any normal country?
00:17:30.240 You cannot let that go on.
00:17:32.100 And you can't have an FBI director doing these.
00:17:36.220 It took Matt Taibbi, who's no conservative by far, to put the spotlight on exactly what
00:17:43.320 the issue is.
00:17:44.740 Jack Posobiec, Taibbi's right.
00:17:46.340 I mean, it's the purpose of what from the from the allowing the dossier to leak all of it.
00:17:53.900 They try to make it seem that I mean, their purpose was to destroy Trump's presidency by
00:17:58.420 making him a Russian asset, sir.
00:18:00.500 Well, Steve, thanks so much for having me on.
00:18:04.380 It's great to be back here in D.C.
00:18:07.780 Not sure how long exactly I'll be here.
00:18:10.440 But, you know, we're holding it down, at least with the family this weekend.
00:18:15.860 And, you know, look, what Taibbi is knocking on here is is quite purposeful.
00:18:20.700 The Russiagate lie, which was spread not just by Comey, but by Comey, Rennon, Clapper, the
00:18:27.480 highest levels of the Obama administration.
00:18:30.500 This was a lie that turned the intelligence agencies.
00:18:33.860 Remember, this was the predicate lie that started the patriot purge of our military.
00:18:40.440 That started the patriot purge of the first administration.
00:18:44.300 This was the same guy, by the way, who sent FBI agents to go.
00:18:48.020 He bragged about it.
00:18:49.100 He sent FBI agents to go and interrogate General Flynn under false pretenses inside the White
00:18:55.840 House.
00:18:56.120 They ran an operation inside the Trump White House in the very first days of the administration,
00:19:01.560 Steve, when you were there yourself.
00:19:02.700 And he was doing all of this to undermine the duly elected president of the United States.
00:19:08.980 That is something that simply cannot stand.
00:19:12.520 That is why.
00:19:13.840 And of course, in any other republic, you would have had these people gone after in mass.
00:19:21.840 You would take all the conspirators and they would be tried all together.
00:19:25.720 Now, the way the DOJ is doing it is they're separating it.
00:19:28.720 They're going after different specific crimes.
00:19:30.460 But people need to look back and understand just how absolutely horrific and severing this
00:19:40.320 was to us as a nation because it gave people, gave liberals, the Democrats, this idea that
00:19:47.620 they weren't just pushing back against people they disagreed with, that this was a sinister
00:19:51.980 foreign plot.
00:19:53.760 And painted a picture that led to, by the way, the shooting of Steve Scalise at a baseball
00:19:59.340 practice over there in Virginia, because the shooter, if you looked at his Facebook page,
00:20:03.860 he was posting about it nonstop, that we have to stop these Republicans because they're all
00:20:08.760 Russian agents.
00:20:09.540 Give me, you've got a breaking story from last night on what the action we're taking now.
00:20:20.700 Now we're in the action phase.
00:20:22.260 And I agree with you.
00:20:23.600 I want to see more arrests, right?
00:20:25.840 I anticipate that's coming quite soon.
00:20:29.400 But we have a bigger, we have actually a bigger mandate in a, in a bigger platform now.
00:20:34.520 And that is rolling up these extremists.
00:20:36.980 And you see Chris Hayes and everybody, they're all freaked out.
00:20:39.580 Oh, Miller and all these guys are designated the Democratic Party as an extremist organization.
00:20:45.400 Well, hey, it is an extremist organization and it leads to extremist violent organizations.
00:20:52.340 Talk to me about, we initiated the action last night on the Joint Terrorist Task Force.
00:20:57.220 You've been talking about that that would be basically a leveling up.
00:21:02.560 We would be going next level when that happened.
00:21:05.040 Talk to us about that.
00:21:06.940 Well, Steve, the Joint Terrorism Task Force are designed exactly for this purpose.
00:21:12.060 These are, and there's 200 of these all around the country and then really ensconced in the
00:21:16.960 major cities.
00:21:17.720 Of course, people know about the New York, LA, Chicago.
00:21:21.380 And this is where you've got local police.
00:21:24.100 So NYPD, LAPD, working hand in hand with DHS, FBI, sometimes elements of the intelligence
00:21:31.060 agencies where it makes sense, state police in some areas.
00:21:34.700 So what you're doing is you're breaking down those silos and you've got a fusion team to
00:21:39.480 be able to share intelligence and to be able to conduct operations in those specific areas
00:21:45.480 of operation, those AORs.
00:21:47.600 So when you have the ability to do that, now you're going to actually put up units where,
00:21:53.560 Steve, what I've been doing, Antifa investigations, and you talk to law enforcement from time to time,
00:21:58.800 there's always some guy who's been in the back of the office, D.C., New York, Philadelphia,
00:22:04.180 Portland.
00:22:04.800 They know the networks.
00:22:07.200 They know the ringleaders.
00:22:08.620 They know the financiers.
00:22:10.040 They've been tracking all of it.
00:22:11.600 The problem is they didn't have the green light.
00:22:14.060 They didn't get the rules of engagement.
00:22:15.560 They didn't get the authority to actually go and act on the information that they already
00:22:21.280 have.
00:22:22.100 And so this is what, and if you look at the memo that President Trump signed two days ago,
00:22:27.420 this new national security presidential memo, seven.
00:22:31.240 What that does, it directs the attorney general to go to activate the joint terrorism task forces.
00:22:37.380 So all the doxing, the swatting, the riots, the planning, the conspiracy, that goes down there.
00:22:42.840 Then boom, then you have the IRS and FinCEN out of the U.S. Treasury Department.
00:22:49.860 They are directed to go after the financial networks as well.
00:22:53.900 So this is actually a very meaty presidential memo, a little bit too long for the media to read.
00:22:59.140 I went and read it.
00:23:00.100 And by the way, I have to say that as a small token, I really appreciate that that memo specifically
00:23:08.640 references the fact that the ways that anti-fascist symbols, Antifa symbols, were written on the
00:23:15.920 bullets that were loaded up to shoot and kill my friend Charlie Kirk.
00:23:21.080 And so that specific assassination is referenced here in this memo, delegating this authority to the JTTFs
00:23:28.380 and finally putting them into action.
00:23:31.640 No, it's the assassination of Charlie that's the initiating incident here.
00:23:35.640 That's what finally brought it to global attention, something you and I have been arguing,
00:23:39.640 and Charlie have been arguing for a long time, that these are – was the transgender militias and or Antifa.
00:23:47.560 I mean, good Lord, Posovic, I had to get you out of Antifa fights eight years ago, ten years ago,
00:23:54.040 when you were still pushing the envelope with these guys.
00:23:56.260 I made a film with Andrew Breitbart, Occupy Unmasked, Andrew Breitbart's last work on Antifa back in 2012.
00:24:03.600 I mean, people have been pushing on this.
00:24:04.940 Are you confident, given your expertise of Antifa – and now we have – there's a leak that sources
00:24:12.280 under investigation already about the financing of all this – are you in a better place right now
00:24:19.600 about where you think we're going as a government, both on the legal prosecutions
00:24:24.500 and on the pick-and-shovel work of taking these violent terrorist organizations aligned with the Democratic Party apart?
00:24:35.260 Steve, this is what it's all about.
00:24:36.740 And I've been sitting there all week in the Charlie Kirk studio and saying that as wonderful as the Charlie Kirk
00:24:44.180 Memorial episodes have been, we need the action now.
00:24:47.880 We need the action.
00:24:49.060 We need to be coming back and saying it's time for the federal government, for a federal response.
00:24:54.580 Yes, on the networks, also looking at these transgender cells, the furries that seem to have this prior knowledge
00:25:03.060 of Charlie's assassination, these groups in Utah saying, oh, there's going to be something coming
00:25:08.040 when Charlie comes to town on the 10th.
00:25:11.560 You've got to watch the 10th.
00:25:12.620 It's going to be big.
00:25:13.740 All of this information that goes out, plus the work with Besant, Pam Bondi as well coming in,
00:25:19.780 and Stephen Miller, the fact that Stephen Miller – and you saw his speech over at the Memorial,
00:25:24.700 very impassioned speech from the heart, absolutely from the heart,
00:25:28.060 that you can tell he is absolutely taking the lead on this,
00:25:32.980 working in conjunction with the rest of the cabinet to make it a full priority for our government.
00:25:38.080 Steve, the enemy is here.
00:25:40.260 The enemy is here right now.
00:25:42.060 They've taken out Charlie.
00:25:43.380 They're going after our ICE agents.
00:25:45.300 They just shot up an ICE facility outside Chicago.
00:25:47.800 They're going up against other ICE – or excuse me, they shot up the one outside of Dallas,
00:25:51.620 and they're attacking the one outside of Chicago.
00:25:53.680 They found a guy with a gun.
00:25:55.140 Fortunately, they were able to stop him before they shot him up.
00:25:57.360 And if you don't, if you don't go after the networks right now, it sends a message,
00:26:03.580 and it sends a message that it's open season on ICE, on Trump, on every Trump supporter.
00:26:11.260 And on Turning Point, people – look, the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
00:26:14.720 They know exactly what they're doing.
00:26:17.120 Jack Basovic, great work in Phoenix this week with the Turning Point team.
00:26:22.040 I'm sure he'll be back out there, and the Turning Point team really represented –
00:26:25.640 re-initiating the college tour already and having a great week of shows.
00:26:30.220 Where do people get you now more than ever, Jack?
00:26:32.220 Particularly your Twitter feed is kind of the advanced intelligence operation, the air search radar.
00:26:39.140 Where do folks go to keep up with you over the weekend until we come back on Monday?
00:26:42.340 Yeah, Steve, well, of course, we'll be up at X, at Truth Social, at Jack Basovic, the Telegram, the Getter.
00:26:49.660 And, you know, we're actually going through – we're digging up some of the interviews that I did with Charlie, some of the final podcasts.
00:26:56.600 We just found one where we were talking about the book Unhumans and the history of the Bolsheviks.
00:27:00.720 And Charlie, he was so insightful.
00:27:04.240 He said, Jack, how could a group of only a couple of thousand Bolsheviks take over the entire Russian Empire, 100 million people?
00:27:11.880 And I said, Charlie, people didn't take it seriously.
00:27:15.580 People didn't react.
00:27:17.520 So it was too late.
00:27:20.240 Jack Basovic, one more time, where do you go on – where do you go on Twitter?
00:27:24.540 What's that? Jack Basovic.
00:27:25.660 The book Unhumans, it's – the Bolsheviks were a couple of thousand.
00:27:36.580 Amazing story.
00:27:37.860 Jack Basovic tells it.
00:27:39.640 Very relevant to today.
00:27:42.000 Jack, thanks so much for calling in.
00:27:43.680 Just got off a red eye.
00:27:46.400 Can't start better than the Basovic brothers to start off a Saturday, right?
00:27:50.160 Kevin Basovic's up for Cliff Maloney at the Penn State-Oregon game at a tailgate party in honor of Charlie Kirk giving away 5,000 of the shirts that Charlie Kirk was wearing at the moment they assassinated him.
00:28:07.080 Short commercial break.
00:28:08.020 Back in a moment.
00:28:12.140 According to the Department of Energy, blackouts could increase by 10,000 percent over the next few years.
00:28:17.500 It's because of massive energy demand from artificial intelligence data centers.
00:28:22.340 We talk about that all the time here in the War Room.
00:28:25.260 And we have a fragile power grid.
00:28:27.260 It just cannot keep up with that demand.
00:28:29.500 I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of being without power, even for a day.
00:28:33.820 That's why I got the Grid Doctor 3300 from my patron supply.
00:28:38.680 It's a powerful solar generator that runs refrigerators, AC units, medical devices, power tools, anything you need to write out a blackout.
00:28:47.220 And right now, for their Christmas in July event, they're including over $1,000 in free survival gear with your generator, including emergency food supply, water filtration, survival tools, and more.
00:29:01.280 You heard that right.
00:29:02.400 Over $1,000 in free gear for a limited time.
00:29:06.280 Head to mypatriotsupply.com slash Bannon.
00:29:09.120 That's mypatriotsupply.com slash Bannon.
00:29:12.140 And grab the Christmas in July bundle before it's gone.
00:29:15.820 Blackouts are coming.
00:29:17.660 Go to mypatriotsupply.com slash Bannon and get prepared today.
00:29:22.540 War Room.
00:29:23.440 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:29:29.180 Okay.
00:29:31.000 Dr. Thayer's going to join us on the terrorism.
00:29:33.280 He had been very instrumental in making all this happen.
00:29:37.580 But first, I've got someone that's gone to ground.
00:29:40.760 Mike Lindell joins us.
00:29:41.860 Mike, I know you're not a Secret Service guy at a Bethpage protecting the president.
00:29:48.100 You sitting there with, I don't know, a rifle.
00:29:51.880 This has nothing to do with Smartmatic, what happened in court here.
00:29:54.500 So you haven't gone to ground.
00:29:55.800 You haven't gone and, you know, started your own militia.
00:29:58.600 Sir, what is happening on a Saturday morning?
00:30:01.220 You're there with a weapon.
00:30:02.860 Well, I'll tell you, Steve.
00:30:04.160 You know, I don't lose stuff in court every day.
00:30:06.060 But when I do, I don't let it bother me.
00:30:08.040 I go hunt, my normal hunting trips.
00:30:09.880 And I'll tell you, the Smartmatic, they have to realize I don't give up because there's only one truth.
00:30:15.960 And that judge made a very bad ruling in Minnesota with the summary judgment.
00:30:20.460 But I'm not going to let it bother me.
00:30:22.500 We're having a great time out here at Duck Hunt.
00:30:25.400 Thanks.
00:30:27.080 Talk to me.
00:30:27.860 The posse today, we started at Penn State in a commemoration for Charlie Kirk.
00:30:33.220 People are looking for a deal on this Saturday.
00:30:35.160 What do you got for us, sir?
00:30:37.040 Well, you guys, we got this the last weekend for the big pre-shipping, you guys, on those big ticket items.
00:30:42.160 But we got the three-in-one sale, the sale where the towels came in.

00:30:49.280 All the colors are still in stock.

00:31:22.700 Once they're gone, they're gone forever.
00:31:24.800 And any size, any color, $29.88, that's what the box stores would have paid.

00:31:53.360 They're very busy.
00:31:54.140 1-800-873-1062.
00:31:57.360 And I will say this, Steve.
00:31:59.420 I will never stop until we get to paper ballots, hand counted.
00:32:03.280 You know that.
00:32:04.500 Smartmatic knows that.
00:32:05.620 They all know that.
00:32:06.500 I don't even know why they keep attacking me.
00:32:08.480 But we will win.
00:32:09.640 Got them to the end.
00:32:10.840 There we go.
00:32:11.380 We just got some ducks here.
00:32:12.620 Fly it in, everybody.
00:32:15.600 Okay.
00:32:16.200 Get back to the business at hand, shooting ducks.
00:32:20.040 Thank you, Mike.
00:32:20.940 Appreciate you.
00:32:22.420 What a warrior.
00:32:24.080 And crazy.
00:32:25.000 That's what I love about him.
00:32:28.280 Dr. Thayer, so a lot going on.
00:32:29.860 We're hurtling towards a government shutdown.
00:32:33.200 This is to our advantage.
00:32:35.520 Russ Vogt has a total plan to do mass firings.
00:32:37.960 They're now freaking out.
00:32:38.920 The Democrats may say, hey, we got the wrong strategy here.
00:32:41.940 Also, you heard last night where they've, you heard it from, you know, folks over at CRA.
00:32:47.120 They've told them up front, they say, hey, look, we're out of money.
00:32:50.700 The WIC program goes away.
00:32:51.880 All of it goes away.
00:32:52.700 So the Democrats may be crating around us.
00:32:54.540 President Trump doesn't care.
00:32:55.580 He went to the Ryder Cup yesterday and is focused on other problems.
00:33:00.780 Dr. Thayer, including the terrorism problem.
00:33:03.060 What you just sent me, that he just, can we pull that on truth?
00:33:06.920 Just read, Dr. Thayer, because you've been instrumental in all this.
00:33:10.760 The truth social that President Trump, the President of the United States, just put out, sir.
00:33:17.040 Yes, Steve, great to join you.
00:33:18.380 So we just truthed at the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem.
00:33:23.020 I'm directing Secretary of War, Pete Hexeth, to provide all necessary troops to protect war ravaged Portland
00:33:30.340 and any of our ICE facilities under siege from an attack by Antifa and other domestic terrorists.
00:33:38.540 I am also authorizing full force if necessary.
00:33:43.020 Thank you for your attention to this matter.
00:33:45.460 So he just sent that out this morning.
00:33:49.860 Well, this is the other part that we've talked about.
00:33:53.400 Number one, declare martial law in Portland and go on and round them up, right?
00:33:59.720 And those are the foot soldiers, but the foot soldiers, tell us about the lairs of Antifa,
00:34:03.660 because you know this better than anybody.
00:34:04.600 You got the foot soldiers in front.
00:34:06.200 You then have the military and other people inside the deep state that train them.
00:34:10.260 And then you've got the organization, the media, the politicians, the not-for-profits, and Soros.
00:34:16.580 Walk us through it, sir.
00:34:18.760 Right, Steve.
00:34:19.620 I think that's a good way to think of it.
00:34:21.840 At base or the muscle is going to be provided by these individuals.
00:34:28.880 For example, as President Trump just said, those surrounding Portland.
00:34:32.660 But those individuals are also organized and communicate.
00:34:38.280 They have resources.
00:34:40.280 And so you have to go deeper, if you will, to the nervous system that connects it to the brain, right?
00:34:47.860 The leadership.
00:34:49.760 Antifa likes to say that it's a cephalus, right?
00:34:52.140 It's headless.
00:34:52.860 It doesn't have an organization.
00:34:54.940 But it certainly does, of course.
00:34:58.500 And that's going to be revealed through the investigations.
00:35:03.080 And Jack's comments, of course, on the creation of the—or the implications, really, of the Joint Terrorism Task Force is hugely important.
00:35:12.500 So you're going to have the foundations and democratic donors that are really very important here.
00:35:20.660 Secondly, Steve, and this needs to get attention, the Chinese Communist Party is also behind this.
00:35:27.880 So there are, if you will, domestic elements, democratic donors, for example, Tides Foundation, Act Blue.
00:35:36.060 But the CCP is also behind it.
00:35:39.760 So we need, as we advance the investigation, to ensure that we get to the CCP.
00:35:48.400 Because if you only go after, if you will, quote-unquote domestic actors, you're not winning.
00:35:55.740 You've got to go after—
00:35:57.120 Let's play the package.
00:35:58.280 Can I play that?
00:35:59.260 Can I play in the video?
00:36:00.740 Can I get the—I want to play this package for you one more time.
00:36:03.740 Can I go ahead and play it?
00:36:04.460 You ready?
00:36:05.280 Let's go ahead and play this, and I'm going to get Dr. Thayer's response.
00:36:08.980 There's a phrase, and I didn't even hear about this phrase until just a few years ago, China hawks.
00:36:14.420 Yes.
00:36:15.280 And apparently, if you're a China hawk, you get to wear that label with pride.
00:36:19.920 It's almost like a badge of honor.
00:36:21.440 Right.
00:36:21.880 It's a badge of shame.
00:36:24.100 There's no question it's a badge of shame.
00:36:26.140 There's no question that although they want what's in the best interest of our country, and we all want what's in the best interest of our country,
00:36:32.440 destroying that pipeline of the American dream is not patriotic.
00:36:40.280 They think they're doing the right thing for our country, but it's not patriotic, not even a little bit.
00:36:45.620 No, no, to the CCP.
00:36:47.900 Chinese Communist Party, CCP virus.
00:36:53.060 We must hold them accountable.
00:36:55.900 You see the wisdom of La Bajing right there in New York City?
00:37:01.040 This is one of the wealthiest guys in the world, most powerful guys in the world.
00:37:04.660 He should never be allowed in the White House again.
00:37:06.900 He should be under arrest.
00:37:08.080 He's an agent of influence.
00:37:09.220 I've said this forever.
00:37:10.760 If you look at every move he makes and his background, he is an agent of influence of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:37:17.400 He should be arrested today, not tomorrow, not tonight, today.
00:37:23.020 To sit there and say that the China hawk's a badge of shame, screw you, dude.
00:37:27.140 We're going to run you.
00:37:28.140 This is outrageous.
00:37:29.860 This is what's happening to the country.
00:37:31.280 They talk about artificial intelligence, and we need no regulation of artificial intelligence, and Peter Thiel is saying that really the Antichrist people want to regulate artificial intelligence.
00:37:40.580 If we shut down their access to technology and chips and training, there wouldn't be any arms race here.
00:37:48.080 Don't buy the media narrative coming from the oligarchs, and this guy is one of the worst.
00:37:53.180 He is an agent of influence for the Chinese Communist Party, and for him to sit there and say the American dream is predicated on us.
00:38:01.280 Us allowing China to steal everything, our intellectual property.
00:38:06.480 Let me repeat this.
00:38:08.340 This guy is an agent of influence, and to have him anywhere near the White House, all these people rubbing up on him, right?
00:38:15.420 The people around President Trump, the technology shop over there, they ought to be terminated and run out of the White House today.
00:38:23.320 This guy is an—let me repeat this in case anybody's missing my point.
00:38:27.040 He is an agent of influence at the highest levels for the Chinese Communist Party.
00:38:33.260 Dr. Thayer, am I incorrect in that, sir?
00:38:37.580 No, absolutely right.
00:38:39.520 What he said was deliberate, of course.
00:38:42.360 So what he's attempting to do is threat deflate.
00:38:46.540 He's attempting to minimize, of course, the danger of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:38:54.080 He's attempting to tie the success of the evil CCP, Chinese Communist Party, to the American dream, right?
00:39:06.200 To what are the birthright of Americans.
00:39:10.780 So he wants, essentially, the engagement policies to continue.
00:39:16.620 The policies that got us in this mess, the policies that crushed Lao Bajing, the policies that are committing genocide in Xinjiang,
00:39:27.100 the policies that are causing the expansion in the South China Sea, East China Sea, rapid buildup of Chinese nuclear weapons,
00:39:36.180 conventional might, for example, that we saw on display on September 3rd.
00:39:40.780 What he's trying to do is to justify the theft of technology to aid the most evil regime, of course, on the face of the planet.
00:39:54.060 So it's a deliberate exercise.
00:39:57.240 How he could get away with that, of course, is obviously he's on a friendly channel.
00:40:03.320 But nonetheless, he needs to be challenged on that every time he shows up.
00:40:10.540 We need to recognize, Steve, not only that he's an agent of influence, right, but this is precisely the siphon.
00:40:17.240 This is money that he's profiting, right?
00:40:20.480 Technology that he's sending to the PRC is making the PRC a greater threat, making them wealthier.
00:40:28.460 They're using part of that wealth to fund Antifa.
00:40:30.820 So there's the intersection between, obviously, the growth of Chinese Communist Party
00:40:37.180 and how they're able to use their might to undermine us in many ways, right?
00:40:41.460 It's a spectrum through threat deflators like Jensen Hong and so many others,
00:40:48.240 but also by funding and supporting through front organizations,
00:40:53.460 which the PRC are expert at creating and running Antifa and other organizations to undermine us.
00:41:03.460 This is a direct threat.
00:41:05.480 So he's essentially the money changer, right?
00:41:08.800 He's essentially one of the funders of Antifa through his actions.
00:41:14.960 And he should be looked at very, very closely.
00:41:18.900 Oh, no.
00:41:19.340 And not just, obviously, this individual, but many others.
00:41:24.120 Yeah.
00:41:25.320 He's the CEO, chairman, CEO, founder of NVIDIA, one of the most powerful people in the world,
00:41:30.280 and kowtowed to by the United States government.
00:41:32.380 It's just ridiculous.
00:41:33.180 He ought to be rolled up today.
00:41:34.520 A very dangerous individual.
00:41:35.860 The Chinese Communist Party would be nowhere in artificial intelligence
00:41:40.140 if we cut them off from capital, know-how, expertise, technology, nowhere.
00:41:44.620 Dr. Thayer, where do people, your work on all this, particularly the terrorism part,
00:41:48.600 has been extraordinary.
00:41:49.520 Where do people get you, sir?
00:41:51.380 Where's your social media?
00:41:53.180 At Brad Thayer, Bradley Thayer on Truth, and at Getter.
00:41:56.960 So the whole of government response is absolutely necessary.
00:42:00.380 But, Steve, it's also a whole of society response, right?
00:42:03.400 But we need to popularize this and not give these guys any room to hide
00:42:10.960 as they support Antifa directly or through front organizations.
00:42:18.320 Thank you, brother.
00:42:19.180 Can we put it back up where we go?
00:42:20.780 Dr. Thayer, thank you.
00:42:22.040 I just want to – Donald Trump, the president of the United States,
00:42:24.200 commander-in-chief of the armed forces, just put up a true social –
00:42:28.220 at the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem,
00:42:30.880 I am directing Secretary of War Pete Hexeth to provide all necessary troops
00:42:36.160 to protect war-ravaged Portland and any of our ICE facilities under siege
00:42:41.320 from attack by Antifa and other domestic terrorists.
00:42:47.240 I'm authorizing full force if necessary.
00:42:50.840 That's the Secretary of War.
00:42:53.160 Stakes could not be higher.
00:42:54.820 We have advocated this for a long time.
00:42:56.600 President Trump is now fully engaged.
00:42:59.460 The Joint Terrorism Task Force kicked in last night.
00:43:02.040 Jack Vosovic reported that.
00:43:03.420 Dr. Bradley Thayer here talking about President Trump,
00:43:06.820 ordering the troops into Portland, Oregon.
00:43:10.280 As President Trump says, no games, no games.
00:43:13.200 Games are over.
00:43:14.620 Reality is about to hit Antifa and its supporters in the Democratic Party.
00:43:20.160 If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this.
00:43:24.880 In today's AI and cyber world, scammers are stealing home titles with more ease than ever,
00:43:31.400 and your equity is the target.

00:43:42.420 Your home title has been transferred out of your name.
00:43:45.140 Then they take out loans using your equity or even sell your property.
00:43:50.300 You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or foreclosure notice.
00:43:57.160 So let me ask you, when was the last time you personally checked your home title?
00:44:03.040 If you're like me, the answer is never.

00:44:44.820 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:44:49.420 Okay, bottom of the next hour, I'm going to have Philip Patrick come in.
00:44:52.360 We're going to talk capital markets and precious metals, golds on a tear.
00:44:57.040 You need to understand why.
00:44:59.140 Take out your phone right now and text BANN, B-A-N-N-O-N, at 989898.
00:45:03.600 The ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump.
00:45:08.480 And these lays out not just the logic for it and why it's a hedge.
00:45:12.500 And we've got some pretty explosive news to break down at 1030.
00:45:16.280 I don't think people are thinking about this the right way.
00:45:19.360 Philip Patrick and I kind of walk you through it, why it's kind of a permanent revolution.
00:45:23.800 It appears for precious metals because of fiat currency and what central banks and other money center banks are doing.
00:45:32.040 We'll break that all down then.
00:45:33.760 But this talks about IRAs, 401ks, all of it.
00:45:36.800 Plus you get access to Philip Patrick and the team is what you need.
00:45:40.660 Build a relationship with these guys at Birch Gold.
00:45:43.860 Now that it looks like every couple of days gold is setting another all-time high.
00:45:47.400 Do I have Ben Harwell back up?
00:45:51.920 Yes.
00:45:52.360 So, Ben, two things I got to get from you is all this in the Ukraine because it looks like we're rapidly hurtling into the kinetic part of the Third World War.
00:46:03.080 President Trump has tried and tried and tried to bring the Russians to the table, including kind of threatened him this when he was in England.
00:46:09.580 And by the way, England is putting in a digital ID that even Boris Johnson, as bad as he is, is sitting there saying, I will never take a government ID.
00:46:19.800 And so the whole idea of the surveillance state is actually getting more advanced in our mother country.
00:46:25.340 And I think that's very, very dangerous for us here.
00:46:28.160 But on Ukraine, Zelensky said yesterday he ain't leaving until they've won the war.
00:46:33.460 That could be a couple of decades, if ever.
00:46:35.740 Your thoughts on Ukraine before we go to the United Kingdom?
00:46:39.580 Look, Steve, Axios have, and I push this out on Geta, Axios have this interview with Zelensky who says that he had President Trump's explicit backing to hit Russian energy targets and infrastructure and arms factories.
00:47:00.440 And he said that if Ukraine gets the additional long range weaponry from the U.S., which he spoke to President Trump directly about on the margins of the U.N., he said we will use that.
00:47:11.460 And Zelensky added that the Russian centers of power, like the Kremlin, were very much on the table.
00:47:18.220 And Zelensky even added that basically the Russians working in the Kremlin, they need to know where the bomb shelters are, because if they don't stop the war, they're going to need it in any case.
00:47:28.440 Steve, this is really something that you've been highlighting now for many, many months.
00:47:33.640 This is the World War III, well underway.
00:47:37.820 And I have to say, and I'll pick my words carefully on this, because I'm certainly not going to come onto the warming, criticise President Trump.
00:47:46.620 But if President Trump feels or thinks or is acting under the assumption that supplying U.S. arms via NATO is going to eliminate America from the picture, from any potential reprisal on the Russian part because of that technicality being supplied via NATO, I think President Trump is making a very large miscalculation on that.
00:48:12.180 America is certainly going to be dragged in if Zelensky uses long-range missiles to bomb the Kremlin.
00:48:20.100 There's no way, I think, America is going to stay out of that.
00:48:23.240 So you're right to say President Trump has been working very hard over the last eight months to achieve peace.
00:48:31.160 But really, I think the way things are going now, he really needs to do what he said in the election campaign.
00:48:36.800 And if he can't end the war, he's got to withdraw the United States explicitly and implicitly from every engagement.
00:48:46.200 And it has to be on the table now, really.
00:48:48.540 If you look at what the Europeans are doing, so they're all sort of walking with the swagger because they've got President Trump's backing there because he said, again,
00:48:59.160 President Trump has said that he thinks that Zelensky can win this war, it should be on the table because of the European swagger, American withdrawal from NATO.
00:49:12.720 But hang on, but hang on, but hang on.
00:49:15.220 The swagger comes, he had the meeting here in D.C.
00:49:19.360 The swagger comes with really no commitment.
00:49:22.700 There's no real commitment from money.
00:49:24.200 Macron's government is essentially paralyzed, imploded because of the money situation.
00:49:31.500 They're broke.
00:49:32.540 The Germans are essentially broke.
00:49:35.420 They're talking about they can't give any troops.
00:49:38.300 England is in a financial crisis right now.
00:49:41.020 Starmer's approval, I think, is 11 percent.
00:49:44.900 Italy is just more phony, happy talk.
00:49:47.660 There's no commitment of troops.
00:49:49.020 There's no commitment because one of the defensemen said the other day, he says, we use this term security guarantees.
00:49:55.300 It's kind of happy talk.
00:49:56.500 He says security guarantees essentially the commitment of troops to go up to the line of contact in a peaceful in a peaceful deployment.
00:50:05.120 But you must be committed to engage and fight the Russian army in open combat.
00:50:13.100 And there ain't a country in Europe that's prepared to do that.
00:50:16.340 Right.
00:50:16.520 They're just not.
00:50:17.200 And so President Trump is sitting there saying, hey, if they want to buy weapons, I'll sell them all the weapons possible.
00:50:23.240 But I'm not giving them.
00:50:24.280 He just reiterated the other day, no more three hundred fifty billion dollars like Biden did.
00:50:28.880 So.
00:50:29.440 So why do the Europeans have swagger?
00:50:31.360 I realize President Trump said, hey, you know, and he was trying to beat up Putin by saying, hey, I think that they didn't take it in a couple of weeks.
00:50:39.040 They're a paper tiger.
00:50:40.120 They're going broke.
00:50:41.420 We're going to take the three hundred fifty billion dollars of assets.
00:50:43.980 We'll talk about that with Philip Patrick when they get here.
00:50:46.320 That Ukraine, you know, can not just go back and reverse what the war has done for the last three or four years, but then take back Donbass and Crimea.
00:50:57.360 That's what President Trump negotiating.
00:50:59.120 Why would NATO have swagger when internally to each country they don't actually have the ability to put the money, the troops and particularly the troops where they have to go to be prepared for combat in eastern Ukraine with the Russian army?
00:51:15.220 Sir, we got about a minute.
00:51:16.160 I'm going to hold you through.
00:51:16.960 Give me a minute response.
00:51:18.040 Well, the first thing, Steve, to say is on your list of what is going wrong in Europe, I must add the fact that France's sovereign debt was downgraded by Fitch's, right?
00:51:29.240 Which is Fitch, one of the four great ratings agencies.
00:51:34.000 So that downgrade illustrates to the bond markets that France has in sustainability in terms of its long term debt.
00:51:42.600 That is fundamentally the reason why France is a paper tiger, one of the most military powerful of the European nations.
00:51:50.420 But coming back to why the swagger, Steve, now I will continue this after the break, but it's precisely for those reasons that they're incapable of doing anything without America.
00:51:58.820 Because they think, I don't know why, but they think that they have President Trump wrapped in to underwrite their security.
00:52:08.780 If they didn't feel that, you wouldn't see the swagger.
00:52:11.300 Yeah.
00:52:12.840 Hang on a second.
00:52:13.740 I'll hold you through the break.
00:52:14.360 This is because of Lindsey Graham and these guys that run around in Europe, go to these conferences and come back here and get on Fox TV.
00:52:21.180 Lindsey Graham's now all for Bannon's Trump 28.
00:52:24.220 Why?
00:52:25.220 Because of what's happening in NATO and President Trump talking about winning the war in Ukraine.
00:52:29.960 This is how cunning the Lindsey Graham's are.
00:52:33.920 Anyway, short commercial break.
00:52:35.320 An entire hour of heat next in the war room.
00:52:43.720 Hey, we're human.
00:52:45.120 All too human.
00:52:47.080 I don't always eat healthy.
