00:00:00.000 Maryland. Maryland was a little bit off the hook. The biggest city in the state, Baltimore, of course, not only had a huge turnout for No Kings, again, it's another one of those cities that Trump is threatening to send the military into it. That, I think, helps goose turnout in any city that he's threatening. But Baltimore, simultaneous to its very large No Kings event, also had a huge marathon this weekend. That said, credit to the city and its public safety and political leadership.
00:00:26.780 Everything seems to have gone off without a hitch in Baltimore. Here's a look at Baltimore and also Townsend, Maryland and Frederick, Maryland. Boston? Come on. Look at that. Again, not AI. That's a real thing. Look at that crowd in Boston. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu told the huge crowd at the Boston Common that in Boston, every day is No Kings Day because, duh, it was just huge in Boston.
00:00:52.120 But there were more than 100 No Kings protests in little old Massachusetts. It's Michigan also had more than 100 No Kings protests this weekend all over the state, including up into the Upper Peninsula.
00:01:04.820 Here's a look at Ann Arbor up in the upper left where they had a huge turnout, also a really big turnout in Detroit. There's a look at Ferndale, Michigan in the lower left there.
00:01:14.160 And, of course, our beloved Flint, Michigan in the lower right.
00:01:17.980 Let's take it above Trump. Like, the reason that people should care is that the more you consolidate the power in one person, the less power you have as an individual.
00:01:27.660 The country was not set up to be an all-powerful monarchy.
00:01:33.080 But over the last 25 years, you've had both parties make government a hell of a lot bigger and provide a hell of a lot more power to the president.
00:01:41.380 Trump has taken that and he's put it on steroids.
00:01:44.620 Republicans are gleeful because they have the power.
00:01:47.640 But like you said, they will do unto you what you did to them.
00:01:51.780 You've been in the game longer than I have, Joe, and you know that there's no new power that is ever introduced into politics by one party that is not used and often abused and stretched to new lengths by the next one.
00:02:06.940 Head-to-head Minneapolis to Boston.
00:02:09.100 This is pretty intense, right?
00:02:10.920 I don't know why I was surprised to see something that huge for No Kings in Minneapolis, but Minneapolis was just gigantic.
00:02:17.140 Here's Minneapolis and also Duluth in the upper left, Anoka, Minnesota, and Northfield, Minnesota.
00:02:26.880 Head from Minnesota down to Mississippi.
00:02:29.220 No Kings protests, not just in, you know, Collegetown, Oxford, Mississippi, the home of Ole Miss, and in Jackson where people rallied on the South Lawn in the Mississippi State Capitol.
00:02:39.060 But you also saw good turnout and big protests in Hernando, Mississippi, and in spunky little beautiful Gulfport, Mississippi.
00:02:47.260 They got a big crowd there.
00:02:49.080 Throngs of people filled and then spilled out of Mill Creek Park in Kansas City.
00:02:53.640 So here's a look at Kansas City, Missouri.
00:02:56.060 Really was big.
00:02:57.460 And Columbia, Missouri, which was also really big.
00:03:00.020 Springfield, Missouri.
00:03:00.980 Look at that.
00:03:01.360 Both sides of the street.
00:03:02.480 And then up in the upper right-hand corner there, that's Jeff City.
00:03:04.960 Jeff City, Jefferson City, the state capital of Missouri people there on the state capital steps.
00:03:09.700 Members in some surprising places.
00:03:11.580 Here's West Yellowstone and Red Lodge, Montana.
00:03:15.260 That's Bozeman up in the upper left.
00:03:17.000 Our friends, again, at State's Newsroom report that in Polebridge, Montana, which is right on the edge of Glacier National Park,
00:03:23.440 they had more people turn out to protest than the actual population of the town.
00:03:30.200 Welcome, visitors.
00:03:31.260 But what the basic premise is, is that, yeah, we're never going to let them take power again.
00:03:36.040 That's why we have to go.
00:03:37.080 That's why we have to play to win.
00:03:38.520 Because right now the rule of the game is not the rule of law, but might makes right.
00:03:42.760 And we have the power and we can never let it up.
00:03:44.620 And that is the second part of that sort of thing that they put out there.
00:03:48.920 Some people say, yeah, I don't want it to come around again.
00:03:51.700 And it's like, yeah, and that's why you need to either stomach what Trump is doing, right? 0.74
00:03:55.260 Why you need to go along with this stuff, even though you think it's wrong, even though you know it's ridiculous,
00:03:59.380 even though it cuts against you when you believe it in, free speech or freedom or America, because we need to win.
00:04:04.720 Otherwise, they're going to come and get you twice as hard next time.
00:04:06.900 Who is the we there?
00:04:08.560 MAGA?
00:04:09.040 That's it.
00:04:09.780 It's MAGA.
00:04:10.580 It's largely MAGA.
00:04:11.120 And that is why you see some of the breaks with the newer parts of the, you know, sort of like the podcast things that align with Trump the last cycle.
00:04:17.960 They don't really see themselves as part of that we.
00:04:20.900 And so they're willing to be more vocal and critical on a lot of these things because they don't see themselves that way.
00:04:26.980 But anyone that's really seen themselves as part of MAGA thinks, you know what, we now have made a deal with the devil.
00:04:32.520 We have to go through with it because if we don't, they're going to come and get us.
00:04:34.940 It's not even fully into his first year in office here.
00:04:38.600 And he just had one of the largest days of protest in American history against him in every freaking state in the country.
00:04:47.300 And so, yeah, naturally, he celebrates the occasion by getting out of backhoe to start tearing down the White House.
00:04:54.300 He really doesn't want to have to answer to the people.
00:04:56.940 You wouldn't do that if you ever thought you had to.
00:04:59.000 There's a big protest movement now in this country, a big, sustainable, growing, peaceful, fired up protest movement standing against this very unpopular president who is not doing anything to make himself more popular over time, while the popular resistance to him just grows and grows and grows.
00:05:19.240 About Republicans complaining that he is being dubbed a king is that in their minds, he has already surpassed that title anyway and moved on to a much higher calling.
00:05:30.460 He's a miracle worker.
00:05:31.980 Trump just performed an actual miracle before our eyes.
00:05:37.540 He was saved to do things like he did today.
00:05:40.340 He's got just a special anointing.
00:05:43.040 Prophecy, destiny and divine purpose.
00:05:45.540 President Trump is God's chosen instrument for this moment in time.
00:05:49.500 I've seen the hand of God on him for a very long time.
00:05:51.800 You know, we're saving Christianity. 0.98
00:05:53.700 We're saving God.
00:05:55.380 To Republicans, king is a demotion.
00:06:00.020 He's not a king.
00:06:01.220 He's a deity sent by God to bring peace to all of mankind.
00:06:04.960 A Jesus-like figure.
00:06:06.040 I mean, I get it.
00:06:08.180 There is a lot of crossover.
00:06:09.360 It's why tonight I thought we'd end our program with some fun and play the hottest new game show on basic cable.
00:06:17.560 Jesus or Trump.
00:06:22.020 Bing-bong. 0.97
00:06:22.940 All right, here we go.
00:06:24.260 You guys are very good at this game.
00:06:27.500 So if you ask, is Trump a king?
00:06:29.980 Nay, nay.
00:06:31.780 He is the king of kings.
00:06:33.400 And that, my friends, is a reason to rejoice.
00:06:38.420 Not like that!
00:06:42.360 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:06:47.260 Pray for our enemies.
00:06:49.220 Because we're going medieval on these people.
00:06:52.500 Here's the time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:06:56.760 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:06:58.660 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:07:00.100 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that.
00:07:01.840 But you're not going to stop it.
00:07:02.720 It's going to happen.
00:07:04.060 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:07:07.460 Mega Media.
00:07:08.380 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:07:14.260 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:07:18.020 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:07:24.400 War Room.
00:07:25.220 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:07:32.720 Tuesday, 21 October, Year of the Lord, 2025.
00:07:36.340 In fact, of my great production crew here, in the Rachel Maddow, you know, she gets into this thing.
00:07:42.400 And I think the next block you and I talked about, about three and a half percent.
00:07:45.640 If you can pull that, I want to play that a little later.
00:07:48.240 Dave Bratt's going to write shotgun with us this morning.
00:07:51.040 The, you know, Rachel Maddow, the brains of the operation, I think it's pretty evident now she's punched out. 1.00
00:08:02.920 I mean, they spent 30 minutes on the show last night because you can only watch her on Monday.
00:08:06.740 30 minutes on the show talking about the epic fail of the No Kings.
00:08:13.680 They're hanging their hat on this of, like, Trump's authoritarian breakout can only be stopped by the No Kings movement. 0.95
00:08:24.800 First off, it's the dumbest name in the world, but let's forget the branding for a second. 0.73
00:08:28.860 Their whole purpose is they're trying to make an argument that this thing is building with intensity. 0.97
00:08:33.140 This is building with, this is building with a scale because they've got this theory of the case from that whack job up at Harvard, the Institute of Politics, the one that Natalie Winters goes through and, you know, blows up every couple of weeks.
00:08:49.300 She's got this theory of how countries are these political scientists of how countries stop the rise of authoritarians.
00:08:58.440 And they've got three ways they do it.
00:08:59.760 You know, they're nonviolent.
00:09:01.140 They are, they show momentum.
00:09:04.200 They have urgency.
00:09:05.500 They get to scale.
00:09:07.260 And essentially three and a half percent, their theory, these political scientists, right, who are all a bunch of guys, men and women don't know anything, that at three and a half percent of the population, you have a breakout.
00:09:20.920 And that's how you thwart the rise of the authoritarians.
00:09:24.800 But you can tell they're trying to make this no kings thing.
00:09:29.940 It's something it's not.
00:09:30.740 It's a fail.
00:09:31.800 If that's the best you got, these old, you know, the liberals, you know, when you see around, they whine about everything.
00:09:39.380 They want a frictionless life. 0.91
00:09:40.700 And all they do is bitch about everything because all of most of them are in dead end jobs.
00:09:46.660 They've been they've never really been rewarded in life for what they feel is their proper place in the universe, particularly intellectually. 0.99
00:09:54.800 So they're just the meanest, nastiest, most bitter people in the world.
00:10:00.200 One of the reasons I love the MAGA movement is kind of the determination and grit, but also just the good old American, you know, the the the understanding and adversity.
00:10:12.440 Right. Right. In comradeship and in brotherhood and all that, you can have fun.
00:10:17.700 And it's the glint in the eyes of people and understanding what they're fighting for, a higher cause, which is defense of this republic as a as the new Jerusalem.
00:10:29.180 Yeah, you're fighting it.
00:10:30.960 We're fighting a spiritual war and folks understand that and embrace that.
00:10:34.760 On the other side, you just have the same bitter, you know, people that don't feel they've been rewarded in life because they're smarter than everybody and they're stuck in some dead end job.
00:10:45.620 Either as a teacher or professor or, you know, something or something that's attached to to the government.
00:10:53.180 Right. And so they never think they've been rewarded and they're bitter for it.
00:10:57.000 And this thing had no energy.
00:10:59.080 The crowds. It was a joke.
00:11:01.560 And it's no seven million. Give me a break.
00:11:04.760 These crowds were nothing.
00:11:07.720 It's a nothing burger.
00:11:09.160 If you can't get more than that in New York City to rally against Trump, because it's all hatred, it's pure hatred of Trump and no kings.
00:11:16.300 A guy that won the House, the Senate, the popular vote, the Electoral College.
00:11:22.220 And is dominating them on everything.
00:11:25.700 Full spectrum dominance to the fact that they've shut down the government on illegal aliens because they don't have illegal aliens or everything.
00:11:33.400 And the reason is they don't have enough of the American people.
00:11:35.700 Now, and Brad's going to join me and say, I want to get to this instrument of divine will or the providential nature of President Trump's political life.
00:11:49.080 Right. The political life.
00:11:50.860 The. As it becomes more and more evident to these folks.
00:11:58.320 And you're going to see this because of the structural realignment of the country demographically and and where the country is moving to.
00:12:09.220 Now, that's become structurally harder and harder for them to get power through the democratic process.
00:12:18.100 What do I mean by well, Steve, what do you mean by that?
00:12:20.280 Well, let's give you some details.
00:12:21.840 The Supreme Court, as you know, we followed it closely, this this racial gerrymandering argument they had.
00:12:29.920 And I believe that they'll come back in January.
00:12:31.900 And I think we're going to win that.
00:12:33.420 And that CNN tells me that's 10 seats.
00:12:35.720 The New York Times, I think, says 19, although I may have those reversed.
00:12:39.400 But somewhere between 10 and 19 seats will flip and become, you know, not just competitive, but seats that it should both groups think the Republicans will pick up.
00:12:51.240 So that's huge.
00:12:52.100 But in addition, we have our daily work here at the War Room, which is, you remember, this audience delivered, I don't know, eight or 10 seats in 21 and early 22.
00:13:00.760 That became the basis for Polly Pockets speakership, McCarthy first and then replaced by Polly Pockets. 0.68
00:13:12.140 The gross amount of that number is 21, as Alex de Grasse, who's kind of one of the chief architects of this and was the chief architect of 21 and 22, has come on here.
00:13:22.980 Now, that includes the five in Texas we've already banked, but it also it doesn't net out the five that it looks like unless we make some dramatic changes.
00:13:32.820 And what I mean by that is get President Trump engaged in the in the contest out there, which the locals here to four have not wanted.
00:13:39.560 But you must get Trump engaged to stop Newsom in California.
00:13:45.320 You add, I don't know, 10 or 12 there, maybe 15 there net.
00:13:50.400 You add 10, 12, 15 net in the others.
00:13:54.980 You got 20 north.
00:13:57.640 It makes it very, very, very difficult for the for the for the radical Democrats to think that they can have a shot of taking back the House.
00:14:08.960 Now, look, we're going to fight every day for that, but it makes it the it makes the odds longer.
00:14:13.540 Also, there's a couple of structural issues in that demographic shift about the Senate.
00:14:20.400 You add on top of it, what I think we're going to make a top priority is a mid decade census.
00:14:26.380 The one in 2020 was gun decked.
00:14:28.680 Stephen Miller and I had it that no illegal aliens will be would be counted because illegal aliens cannot be counted and should not be counted.
00:14:36.120 And that was overruled by Wilbur Ross and the Wall Street crowd over commerce at the time.
00:14:41.600 We kick that back in and hey, guess what?
00:14:45.860 It becomes self-evident on the electoral college basis.
00:14:49.140 They can't win anywhere.
00:14:50.520 Anyway, short, short, short break.
00:14:52.660 Back in the warm in a second.
00:14:53.720 I want to tell you about a new offer from our sponsor, Birch Gold, Veterans Day Free Silver.

00:16:55.040 OK.
00:16:55.760 Anyway, as they get more and more desperate, they're obviously anti-democratic.
00:17:01.160 You saw what the illegitimate regime did.
00:17:03.080 They stole the 2020 election.
00:17:05.460 Yes, they did.
00:17:06.880 They stole the 2020 election.
00:17:08.520 And then they clamped down with the vaccine mandates.
00:17:13.460 Right.
00:17:13.760 They ran this like like the Bolsheviks ran things. 0.97
00:17:19.880 Remember the billboards about people that if you know anybody that went to January 6th or whatever, the lives of others like the East Germans and the Stassi. 0.98
00:17:29.780 So we know what they're like.
00:17:31.380 That's why you back President Trump.
00:17:34.580 Yes, you.
00:17:35.080 This audience backed President Trump.
00:17:36.420 Put your shoulder to the wheel immediately and said, no, it's not going to be Ron DeSantis.
00:17:39.540 It's not going to be Nikki Haley.
00:17:41.240 Trump's coming back and we're going to set things right here.
00:17:43.540 So the American Cincinnatus, that would be Donald Trump and you are his legions.
00:17:51.080 And the left is going to become more and more apparent because of demographic shifts in the nation and geographic shifts in the nation that structurally it's going to be harder and harder and harder for the Democrats to actually, you know, take over, take, take back the institutions.
00:18:15.300 This is why I say maximalist strategy, move with urgency and seize the institutions while seizing the institutions.
00:18:24.860 And they're going to get more and more violent and more and more dangerous.
00:18:28.000 And they're going to be putting up guys like Mandami in these big urban areas where they can get all the illegal aliens in and get them somehow to vote. 0.97
00:18:35.380 That's why you have to have ICE officers at the polls in 2026 and, you know, be rolling up people and arresting people in mass deportations.
00:18:44.220 That'll get their attention.
00:18:47.980 I want to play, though.
00:18:50.000 President Trump is providential.
00:18:52.000 I had a ringside seat.
00:18:54.440 And President Trump is not churchy and not particularly, I don't know, not particularly churchy.
00:18:59.500 OK.
00:19:01.140 But he is an instrument of divine will and he's a providential figure of that.
00:19:06.240 It's obvious.
00:19:06.900 The facts lay it out.
00:19:08.680 Let's go and play some cuts from the war room and then we'll bring in the day Brett.
00:19:12.080 In the lesson of Trump in the steel of 2020, providence was working through that.
00:19:19.100 Look, Trump, I've had an opportunity to see it up close for 10, I don't know, 12 years, 13 years.
00:19:26.520 It's providential.
00:19:28.260 He's a very imperfect individual.
00:19:31.520 His imperfections and his overcoming his imperfections to save the country makes his greatness even more.
00:19:41.540 Right?
00:19:42.500 Right?
00:19:43.920 We've had three in this country.
00:19:46.200 General Washington at the revolution and the birth of the nation.
00:19:50.080 You see Washington, you read the bar priest.
00:19:51.940 They were torturing him all the time, particularly in the revolution, right?
00:19:54.760 They're trying to cashier him.
00:19:55.800 They're putting the knives in his back.
00:19:56.960 I mean, this guy was steady at it and that's how we got through the revolution.
00:20:01.440 He wouldn't quit and he understood if you don't quit, we're going to win.
00:20:06.420 Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, right?
00:20:08.940 Same way.
00:20:09.600 At the rebirth of the nation.
00:20:11.500 In Trump, at the reclaiming of the nation, the rejuvenation of the nation.
00:20:15.980 That's why it's all on the line here.
00:20:17.300 This is not normal politics.
00:20:18.560 We're not talking about marginal tax rates.
00:20:20.500 We're not talking about just what were the basic politics of the turn of the century.
00:20:24.820 Why?
00:20:25.140 Think about it for a second yourself.
00:20:28.400 You're much savvier today about politics, the economy, the way the country works, right?
00:20:34.560 If you go back in time and look at yourself and your own political life and what you believed
00:20:39.700 and what you donated for, right?
00:20:41.960 You've had a great awakening.
00:20:44.080 A great awakening that is tied to a spiritual awakening led by a man.
00:20:48.540 And Trump is not particularly churchy, right?
00:20:51.300 Because God chooses his instruments.
00:20:53.860 And they hate him because they understand your commitment to him.
00:21:00.540 And part of your commitment is you understand, wait for it, MSNBC, wait for it, wait for it, no, don't go, wait for it.
00:21:07.800 He is an instrument of divine providence.
00:21:12.980 Yep.
00:21:13.900 He is.
00:21:14.940 Of that, there's no doubt.
00:21:16.600 There's empirical evidence of that.
00:21:18.180 This is one of the reasons people support him because they understand he's doing God's will to save this republic.
00:21:29.140 When all rationality said, no, let me not do that, they win.
00:21:35.820 Trump wouldn't do that.
00:21:37.100 Trump would never quit.
00:21:38.100 Trump would never back down.
00:21:39.320 And that's why they hate him. 0.99
00:21:41.840 And that's why they must destroy him. 0.97
00:21:43.380 But also divine providence. 0.54
00:21:46.500 Do not forget the assassination attempt.
00:21:49.940 We came one-eighth of one-eighth of one-tenth of one-twentieth of one-millimeter from having President Trump's head blown off, right, on live TV.
00:22:00.240 That was the work, that was the hand of God.
00:22:05.080 That was the hand of God that gave us the opportunity, the inflection point, for you to use your agency three months later, four months later, and deliver this stunning victory.
00:22:21.740 The same divine providence to put me in a prison, right?
00:22:26.020 Because it is God's plan.
00:22:30.240 Dave Brett, can we, John Stewart, and John Stewart is not his name, but John Stewart mocks, openly mocks Christ and mocks God, right, in this discussion of President Trump.
00:22:47.080 Is President Trump, you're my theologian here, is President Trump the instrument of divine providence, the instrument of God's will, sir?
00:22:55.300 Yeah, yes, and, you know, as Charlie Kirk taught us, right, what Charlie did that was so great, you know, he was mocked.
00:23:05.220 Christ was mocked.
00:23:06.900 John Stewart is a comedian.
00:23:09.540 The country's starting to get serious right now.
00:23:11.860 And so if you go to the Bible, right, there's different spheres.
00:23:14.980 Trump, President Trump is clearly providential.
00:23:18.640 He's not a priest, right?
00:23:20.120 There's different spheres, and there's some complexity in understanding the Christian system.
00:23:24.900 But Romans 13 is the classic text.
00:23:28.460 I mean, for the one in authority is God's servant for your good.
00:23:34.300 But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason.
00:23:40.560 They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
00:23:45.700 The left is freaking out because President Trump not only brought renewed energy to the government, to that sphere, and to justice, and to arresting the wrongdoers, but he's also brought tremendous strength and courage, and it's contagious on the spiritual front.
00:24:05.600 You know, Christ suffered on the cross for all of us.
00:24:09.220 And, you know, if you haven't ever pictured that, that he took on the wrath for the entire world's sins of all times.
00:24:16.820 Just picture the wrath of God going into one man.
00:24:20.720 And if that doesn't convict you and make you feel thankful to God, he suffered so that we can be free.
00:24:28.540 And now this country, we live at the absolute pinnacle of freedom.
00:24:33.900 We've bestowed rights on everyone.
00:24:36.780 We have ultimate freedom.
00:24:38.440 We have the highest form of constitutional government you could ever imagine.
00:24:43.020 But now it's getting tricky because we've extended maybe too many rights without corresponding responsibilities in our system.
00:24:51.220 And so a lot of people are taking advantage of this.
00:24:53.860 Pritzker is threatening to go after the law itself, right?
00:24:57.660 God has given the law.
00:24:59.920 Pritzker is threatening to go after the law, and it's going to be a show of force and of constitutional governance.
00:25:07.420 The president, under his Article II powers, clearly has the power to enforce the law of the land.
00:25:13.740 That's what he's doing, right?
00:25:15.540 And the left gets away, and I think they're running out of time, as Charlie Kirk showed us.
00:25:20.800 Bible sales, by the way, are up 36 percent fueled by the death of Charlie Kirk, another martyr for Christ and the cause.
00:25:29.420 Hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:25:30.520 It's not the death.
00:25:31.340 It's not the death.
00:25:32.200 It's an assassination.
00:25:33.380 He's a Christian. 0.87
00:25:34.180 Yes, yes.
00:25:34.680 He's a Christian martyr.
00:25:35.540 Yes.
00:25:35.780 It's an assassination.
00:25:37.220 So continue on.
00:25:41.140 Go ahead.
00:25:41.620 Continue on.
00:25:42.160 Yeah, well, the main point, and I think the serious of this moment, right, Stuart just mocking Jesus Christ, juxtaposing humor, that's some dangerous ground, right, when you talk about the wrath of God, et cetera.
00:25:58.640 And then he mocks all the Christians who are trying to make great statements about what President Trump means in their lives.
00:26:04.100 But this moment in time, the left, right, the left cannot offer up an alternative worldview, and I think that is kind of a key as to what's going on.
00:26:14.160 They've built up K-12, higher ed, and their philosophical system is called deconstruction.
00:26:20.560 That comes straight out of Karl Marx, right, the permanent revolution of destroying all of our loves.
00:26:26.780 It's a great Catholic, R. R. Reno, his return of the strong gods.
00:26:31.160 The left is tearing down all of our loves, the love of God.
00:26:35.800 They're clearly – they've destroyed God and taken them out of the schools.
00:26:38.820 They're winning.
00:26:39.960 The love of our country, nationalism, is now on the rise.
00:26:44.240 Charlie Kirk combined both the spirituality of the Christian system along with the constitutional republic we live in to his service.
00:26:52.600 And then the family has been torn to shreds.
00:26:55.460 But there is a rebirth, and you can feel it coming.
00:26:57.940 There's a rebirth of the loves, and it's the return of the strong gods, and we better make sure we're serving the right God.
00:27:06.300 Can you hang on for a second, Dave Bratt?
00:27:08.680 Sure, sure.
00:27:09.900 We're going to go to short commercial break.
00:27:11.400 Dave Bratt's running shotgun with me.
00:27:12.740 We're going to continue to drill down on this because they're raising the stakes.
00:27:18.120 You see Jim Vanderhay over Axios trying to cut a path for him.
00:27:22.020 They're raising the stakes.
00:27:24.900 The left is devolving into a morass of anarchy, chaos, and violence because for decades they've depended upon illegal alien invaders to be the basic substrate of their party, and President Trump is out of that.
00:27:42.180 That's why we need to triple down. 0.99
00:27:43.920 There's a bunch of Christian preachers saying, hey, our evangelicals, our congregations are afraid to come in here.
00:27:51.420 Have you looked at your power bill lately?
00:27:54.020 Electricity prices are at all-time highs, and they're only going up.
00:27:58.380 Even worse, power outages are becoming more and more common.
00:28:02.120 In fact, according to the Department of Energy, blackouts could increase 10,000% over the next few years.
00:28:08.460 If you don't have a backup generator for your home, it's time to get one.
00:28:12.780 The one I recommend is the Grid Doctor 3300 solar generator from our friends at MyPatriotSupply.
00:28:20.160 Unlike gas generators, it's quiet, fume-free, and safe to use indoors.
00:28:25.360 Yet it's powerful enough to run almost everything in your home.
00:28:30.000 And with the free solar panel included, you'll have unlimited off-grid power to outlast any storm, blackout, or grid failure.
00:28:37.560 Best of all, you can get the Grid Doctor 3300 for zero down and as little as $104 a month when you shop at MyPatriotSupply.com slash Bannon.
00:28:49.100 That's right, 3300 watts of backup power delivered to your door for zero dollars down.
00:28:55.940 See the page for more details at MyPatriotSupply.com slash Bannon.
00:29:00.300 That's MyPatriotSupply.com slash Bannon.
00:29:03.480 This electricity issue is huge.
00:29:06.020 Deal with it today with the Grid Doctor 3300 from MyPatriotSupply.com slash Bannon.
00:29:15.560 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:29:18.240 This is what's so important about signing and finally getting serious about the anti-terrorism of Antifa.
00:29:31.220 To get down, not the foot soldiers, it's just like in the No Kings crowd.
00:29:35.420 They're bragging it was so non-violent.
00:29:37.960 Fantastic.
00:29:38.660 We're great.
00:29:39.060 It's not non-violent.
00:29:40.020 Good, good on you.
00:29:44.340 But it's a stiff.
00:29:46.780 It's got no momentum.
00:29:48.020 It's got no heat.
00:29:48.880 It doesn't have the thing that you can collect to actually win to political power.
00:29:55.920 What do you mean a 3.5% are you going to do what?
00:29:57.560 Throw it?
00:29:57.700 How are you going to throw it?
00:29:58.940 Tell me how you're going to take the house back, Rachel.
00:30:01.320 And Rachel's punched out. 1.00
00:30:03.280 They know that.
00:30:04.180 She's taking $20 million a year for one night a week. 1.00
00:30:07.580 $20 million a year for one night a week.
00:30:09.400 And she doesn't have her fastball anymore. 1.00
00:30:13.880 I've said forever, she brings the operation.
00:30:16.280 There's no – she spent 27 minutes, I think, last night going through state by state of this ridiculous no energy, a bunch of PBS watchers sitting around the same whining and griping they always do, these liberals, right, progressives, because it's never good enough. 0.97
00:30:37.520 They've got a frictionless life, basically a frictionless life, and all they do is bitch and moan about everything. 1.00
00:30:44.940 There's a great piece in the Free Beacon of the MSNBC event, the live event they had, where they think rolling out Martin Sheen is like going to grab – because this is the fantasy. 0.82
00:30:55.900 They go back to Martin Sheen and the constitutional lawyer and the white Obama. 0.79
00:31:00.640 He's going to solve all the problems, right?
00:31:02.960 No, no.
00:31:05.220 Because you're part of the problem.
00:31:07.900 You support the oligarchs.
00:31:10.020 You say you don't, but hey, then why don't you tax them when you – first couple of months of Biden's illegitimate regime.
00:31:15.920 You had the House.
00:31:16.860 You had the Senate.
00:31:17.700 You had the presidency.
00:31:18.760 Where's my tax on the billionaires?
00:31:20.740 Where is it?
00:31:22.740 Where?
00:31:23.280 Where'd it go?
00:31:24.840 Didn't go anywhere.
00:31:25.540 Didn't even go to committee.
00:31:26.420 You know why?
00:31:26.860 Because you're owned by the billionaires.
00:31:28.220 And this is why this is all – it's equivalent to the Kochs doing some stuff in the Tea Party.
00:31:33.460 That's all this – no kings.
00:31:35.860 No kings.
00:31:36.920 No kings event is about it.
00:31:38.860 And there are going to be investigations already at Treasury, already at the IRS to get in back of who finances all this.
00:31:44.820 Where's the foreign money?
00:31:45.980 Let's out the billionaires to finance this.
00:31:47.680 Let's just get down to it.
00:31:48.880 And that's going to scare a bunch of them off and you're going to have the devolution of the Democratic Party understanding they can't win national elections.
00:31:59.760 With no illegal aliens gone, they have no muscle. 1.00
00:32:04.320 They're gone.
00:32:06.520 They're not going to be able to win the House on a national basis.
00:32:09.220 They're not going to be able to take back over the Senate. 0.60
00:32:10.920 The Electoral College is permanently shifting our way in 2030.
00:32:14.540 Now I say permanently, we have to deliver on what we're saying we have to deliver.
00:32:19.920 And the president, I think you're going to see a big pivot back to domestic issues quite shortly.
00:32:25.080 He's trying to solve – he's trying to solve these wars and these problems with China, the economic war there, as a domestic concern so we don't get sucked into more 20-year wars.
00:32:33.840 This is why the CIA director should come forward right now to the American people and tell about the gun-decked intelligence that you told the president of the United States that almost sucked us in to a land war in Persia.
00:32:53.280 OK?
00:32:53.880 We have to do that.
00:32:55.000 But this is why this is such a – this is the battle right here.
00:32:59.160 This is the fight.
00:32:59.900 And they've got no juice, no energy, no urgency, no – and they're trying to make this case.
00:33:05.500 Now, it's getting bigger every time it started at 2 million, it went to 5 million, now it's 7 million.
00:33:09.000 There was not 7 million people.
00:33:11.080 And it's not 7 million people that matter.
00:33:13.420 What do I mean by that?
00:33:14.180 The people like in the war in posse that will get out into the trenches and get it done. 0.97
00:33:20.180 Those people just want to sit at home and watch PBS and old reruns of West Wing and bitch and moan about Trump. 1.00
00:33:27.260 That's what they want to do. 0.97
00:33:28.680 I've got now – let's go ahead.
00:33:29.820 We have a cold open.
00:33:30.600 I've got the James O'Keefe here.
00:33:32.240 Quite interesting.
00:33:33.140 Let's go ahead and let's go ahead and play the open.
00:33:35.380 I'm going to bring James in.
00:33:36.800 So ATI would do 20 percent and their subcontractor would do about 80 percent?
00:33:40.800 80 percent.
00:33:41.600 Wow.
00:33:42.360 I don't know if you want to share that they do all the work.
00:33:44.980 No.
00:33:45.400 Yeah.
00:33:45.580 No.
00:33:46.100 So we do about 20 percent of the work.
00:33:49.060 20 percent?
00:33:49.540 These government contractors like ATI taking advantage of their special minority-owned status.
00:33:55.880 And I tell you, pass-throughs are a great thing as well.
00:33:58.920 So a lot of our subcontractors bid on contracts that were perfect in their industry.
00:34:06.100 But because they weren't Native American, they wouldn't win it. 1.00
00:34:09.340 So we bid on it for them.
00:34:11.440 They became our sub.
00:34:13.100 And it's an automatic win because of your Native American status. 0.92
00:34:17.040 Isn't that exciting?
00:34:17.740 It's so exciting.
00:34:18.620 A lot of people don't know that.
00:34:20.120 I don't think anybody knows that.
00:34:21.380 I don't think anybody knows that.
00:34:21.440 I don't think anybody knows that.
00:34:22.440 I want to keep it that way.
00:34:23.220 That's right.
00:34:23.620 That's right.
00:34:24.540 I want to keep it a secret.
00:34:26.040 You know what I mean?
00:34:26.500 Exactly.
00:34:26.960 Taking the money in, subcontracting much of the work out.
00:34:31.560 I sit back, collect my percentage, and they do the work.
00:34:35.880 Correct.
00:34:36.600 Yeah.
00:34:37.080 They're doing most of the work.
00:34:38.260 Get the contracts, get the money, act as a pass-through, and it's the taxpayer who gets
00:34:44.720 screwed over.
00:34:45.380 Is there some rules or something that people will tell me about that you have to report
00:34:49.240 51%?
00:34:50.560 51%.
00:34:51.040 51%.
00:34:51.560 On paper.
00:34:52.540 Correct.
00:34:52.980 Right.
00:34:53.620 As long as it's on paper.
00:34:54.800 As long as it's on paper.
00:34:55.880 51%.
00:34:56.680 We'll get the guy.
00:34:57.880 And remember, there's no competition because you're Native American.
00:35:01.960 Ding, ding.
00:35:02.760 That's the best kept secret.
00:35:05.100 It is indeed.
00:35:06.240 It is.
00:35:06.940 It is.
00:35:07.920 Go ahead.
00:35:08.440 Here's to pass-throughs.
00:35:10.800 There you go.
00:35:11.880 How about that?
00:35:12.440 Yeah, exactly.
00:35:13.940 Exactly.
00:35:16.320 In vino veritas.
00:35:26.120 So hold it.
00:35:28.420 I got James O'Keefe as the narrator.
00:35:30.940 James, I don't know if this is back to your acorn days.
00:35:33.960 Now you're at the front line of investigations.
00:35:36.320 Was that you or Willy Wonka in the meetings?
00:35:40.620 I mean, and they actually, they didn't see through your disguise, sir?
00:35:46.760 Hey, Steve. 0.81
00:35:47.880 Yeah, this is kind of akin to the acorn pimp hooker thing from 16 years ago. 0.97
00:35:53.960 I mean, I just put on a ridiculous disguise. 0.79
00:35:57.180 But the question, am I really good at my job? 0.99
00:36:01.340 Or are these people just that systemically corrupt?
00:36:03.980 Yeah, this is not fake.
00:36:07.660 This is real.
00:36:08.580 This is an actual subcontractor who gets hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government that we busted.
00:36:15.000 And this is a huge, huge scam.
00:36:17.720 This 8A program designed to help, quote, socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses.
00:36:25.740 Steve, it's a billion, hundred billion dollar scam that we've busted.
00:36:30.920 And now we have the head of the SBA, as of last night, launching an investigation.
00:36:35.800 Hopefully this gets reformed.
00:36:38.240 Well, we know a bunch of guys over the SBA.
00:36:42.280 But here's the question I've got.
00:36:45.280 It's stunning.
00:36:46.240 And this is why you've got to watch the entire video.
00:36:48.100 James is actually in and they're having meetings.
00:36:50.120 And he's, you know, he's he's Willy Wonka.
00:36:52.900 But this is a huge program.
00:36:54.380 How was this program not gutted?
00:36:56.860 We just had a two trillion dollar, one point eight trillion dollar deficit.
00:37:00.460 We're looking at a two trillion dollar deficit.
00:37:03.460 The deconstruction administrative state.
00:37:05.540 I thought that this was low hanging fruit.
00:37:08.180 How did we get to USAID and these others and miss this?
00:37:11.480 This program is massive.
00:37:12.760 You just saw right there. 0.99
00:37:14.360 It's both corrupt and incompetent. 0.99
00:37:17.840 Right. 0.99
00:37:18.240 It's not even doing what it says to do.
00:37:20.100 So how did this how did this miss the acts of Russ vote?
00:37:25.120 Well, I'm not sure that it it did.
00:37:27.060 I mean, this just broke yesterday afternoon, yesterday evening.
00:37:29.660 And we've got another one coming out tomorrow.
00:37:32.040 Another employee in one of these firms.
00:37:34.020 We're going to I'm going to keep I'm going to bring down the whole disease temple, Steve Bannon.
00:37:38.060 I've been working on this story for nine months.
00:37:41.980 I've got people I've got multiple videos inside these firms.
00:37:45.860 And, you know, my understanding is Russ is aware of it.
00:37:48.240 But to answer your question is, why hasn't it been taken down is because everyone's making money off this everyone.
00:37:55.460 And it seems like every everyone.
00:37:57.160 I mean, I've gotten 100 messages overnight.
00:37:59.200 I stay up all night reading all these messages.
00:38:02.820 Everybody is making money off of this eight a small business minority subcontracting scheme. 0.94
00:38:08.020 The entire system is basically built on a facade.
00:38:11.520 And so you basically have to tear it, tear it down brick by brick because the whole thing would collapse.
00:38:18.500 If this is five percent, Steve, of the federal deficit, that'll get two billion dollars.
00:38:23.140 This is a hundred billion through these fraudulent eight a schemes.
00:38:28.300 Walk me through.
00:38:29.180 You said everybody's making money.
00:38:30.800 And this, as you know, in this town, that's what drives things.
00:38:34.540 Well, just walk me through that for a second.
00:38:37.240 Well, this is the goal of the this eight a program is to assist small disadvantaged businesses through business development.
00:38:44.380 And you have to sub out the work to an organization.
00:38:49.500 And you're supposed to do more than 51 percent of the work if you're subbing the work out to a subcontractor.
00:38:55.420 What actually happens is that these these primes are doing no work and it's just a pass through scheme.
00:39:02.100 And then they take a share of the funds.
00:39:05.080 So a lot of this happens everywhere.
00:39:07.200 I've gotten messages from the military contractors and construction contractors.
00:39:11.800 They and these people and these eight a firms aren't even minority owned.
00:39:15.700 This is a super eight a.
00:39:16.920 So it's supposed to supposedly Native American owned.
00:39:19.100 But it's actually the CEO is actually a white guy named named Firmage Crutchfield.
00:39:23.840 So these schemes are happening on a massive level.
00:39:27.220 They're well intended.
00:39:28.660 They're supposed to help, quote unquote, disadvantage groups. 0.56
00:39:31.540 But like most DEI programs, the road to hell is good intentions.
00:39:36.920 Hold it.
00:39:37.720 Hang on.
00:39:38.320 There's supposed to be minority run organizations.
00:39:42.080 How do you have a white guy as the head guy?
00:39:44.880 That's a great question.
00:39:46.080 But let me ask you an even deeper question.
00:39:48.520 How the hell does that individual who's director of contracts, who's worked, whose father and mother worked for the FBI.
00:39:54.720 How does she not know that I'm James O'Keefe?
00:39:57.680 So these are these questions. 0.54
00:39:59.060 So, I mean, I mean, it's incompetent. 0.97
00:40:00.920 It's corrupt. 0.99
00:40:01.820 It's a it's a it's a joke is what it is. 0.68
00:40:04.940 And I think.
00:40:06.020 Yeah.
00:40:06.880 Go ahead.
00:40:07.380 Go ahead.
00:40:08.760 Well, in your nine month investigation, how much how much did you go?
00:40:12.700 Because this is like back to your original thing when when Andrew Breitbart was so blown away about what you've got an acorn or so many other things you would go in and be at the tip of the spear.
00:40:20.940 When you put out these other videos, were you an active participant in the investigation?
00:40:26.100 Like we saw you here in your Willy Wonka outfit throughout the investigation?
00:40:30.800 Yeah, I mean, we had to set up.
00:40:34.080 But this was not a honeypot.
00:40:35.480 This was not a dating app.
00:40:37.400 This was we had to set up a fake website, pose as headhunters.
00:40:41.480 And with our own 8A business, this particular this is a very sophisticated investigation.
00:40:49.280 This was not something that was done overnight.
00:40:51.340 This individual apparently had a side hustle, some type of catering company she did on weekends.
00:40:55.640 So we posed as a group, an 8A group, met with her under the pretense that we were buying her catering.
00:41:02.140 And then in the conference, 10 minutes into the conversation, she admits that her subcontract company, 8A firm is engaged in fraud.
00:41:11.440 So we had to come up with a reason to meet with her.
00:41:13.780 And then we met in a in a Arlington, Virginia restaurant with hidden cameras.
00:41:17.620 Let me go back to what you said about these 8A firms.
00:41:21.520 It's a huge scam and it's happening across the country everywhere.
00:41:27.900 And I think a lot of Steve, a lot of the problems is that you take away these programs, you take away a lot of people's money.
00:41:33.980 You take away a lot of people's mansions, a lot of people's yachts.
00:41:36.920 At the end of the day, it's about money.
00:41:38.940 And it's a huge scam.
00:41:40.360 But we do have we do have news.
00:41:41.900 The head of the SBA last night, the head of the SBA putting out a statement that the SBA has launched an investigation into this company.
00:41:49.180 And they're launching a conducting a full review of the 8A program designed to help these these DEI.
00:41:54.140 And in February, the SBA took immediate action to slash contracting.
00:41:59.160 So we hope that Russ and Pam are watching and they actually reform the system because the time is now.
00:42:08.200 Can you hang on one second?
00:42:09.960 I just I want to ask you a couple of questions about the investigation.
00:42:13.180 But particularly, here's what I want to do.
00:42:14.580 Your stuff has been so great recently.
00:42:16.780 I always see the left immediately come out and trying to say, oh, no, keeps a bad guy or this is all doctored and the footage is cut.
00:42:24.220 So I want to get to we have the SBA starting a formal investigation.
00:42:28.740 I want to get to how the left is going to try to chop block you so we can't get a full and deep investigation and get results.
00:42:35.060 It's a hundred billion dollar program.
00:42:36.240 It's got to go because I'm not sure you can even reform this.
00:42:39.720 Hang on for a second.
00:42:40.480 I'll keep Dave Bratz with me right in shotgun.
00:42:43.700 We're going to take a short commercial break.
00:42:45.220 Gold is on a tear.
00:42:46.160 Of course, it's going to go up and down around when it sets a new a new floor.
00:42:50.840 Right.
00:42:51.960 You have to understand why this happens.
00:42:54.080 It's not the price.
00:42:54.820 It's the process.
00:42:56.520 Birchgold.com promo code Bannon end of the dollar empire.
00:43:00.420 Get it, read it, study it.
00:43:03.100 Then talk to Philip Patrick and the team at Birch Gold.
00:43:06.520 We started this process.
00:43:07.980 I don't know when gold was eleven hundred bucks over forty four hundred the other day.
00:43:12.200 Backed off a little bit.
00:43:13.400 Short break.
00:43:13.800 You know, I didn't know this until the the guys at Field of Greens, the doctors and the
00:43:20.040 experts told me about it and then gave me information.
00:43:22.880 It was fascinating.
00:43:24.280 We have two ages, our actual age and our body's internal biological age.
00:43:29.980 Additionally, what I didn't know is I've likely lowered my biological age without even
00:43:34.760 knowing it.
00:43:36.500 Here's the thing, because Americans eat so many processed and ultra processed foods and
00:43:41.860 not enough fruits and vegetables.
00:43:43.840 Many, perhaps most, are ten years older on the inside than their actual, their actual age.
00:43:52.140 They're ticking time bombs.
00:43:53.880 A major university study suggests how to slow aging and diffuse that biological time bomb.
00:44:01.120 Participants slowed their aging by drinking Field of Greens.
00:44:04.260 That's all.
00:44:05.500 They didn't change their eating, drinking or exercise.
00:44:07.820 Just Field of Greens.
00:44:09.020 I feel great knowing Field of Greens can slow how quickly I'm aging.
00:44:13.400 And I encourage you to join me.

00:44:59.500 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:45:01.980 Okay, The Economist, I'll be doing, there'll be an interview with myself and the senior team
00:45:10.520 at The Economist on Thursday.
00:45:12.540 We'll make sure we push it out.
00:45:14.460 A lot of it's dealing with this new edition of The Economist, a special report,
00:45:17.540 the coming debt emergency.
00:45:19.320 Have you ever heard this anywhere before, folks?
00:45:21.820 I don't know, maybe four years ago, five years ago in the war room.
00:45:24.940 The Economist is finally catching up, and it's quite grim, folks, $335 or $340 trillion global
00:45:32.800 debt and a margin call is coming, and this thing is grim.
00:45:36.220 We're going to get into it.
00:45:37.140 But that deficit of $1.8 trillion, because we have not cut federal spending like we have
00:45:42.200 to cut it.
00:45:43.120 We have a $100 billion program.
00:45:45.040 James O'Keefe is gutting this thing now.
00:45:47.660 O'Keefe, here's a question.
00:45:50.600 The left is going to be all over you because this is real money to them, right?
00:45:54.920 That $100 billion is going back to all these community organizations, just like you took
00:45:58.300 down Acorn and, brother, they tried to destroy you at that time.
00:46:01.800 So now these other ones you put in jail, the other ones are big pharma stuff, bad enough,
00:46:06.880 but now you're coming after the mother's milk of the revolutionary left.
00:46:11.260 So tell me what I can anticipate.
00:46:13.980 SBA started a formal investigation of just your first one.
00:46:17.100 You've got more to come.
00:46:18.260 What's going to happen to James O'Keefe?
00:46:20.440 Well, first of all, Steve, I think they've run out of arrows.
00:46:23.520 They've sued me 50 times.
00:46:25.160 They put me in jail.
00:46:26.160 They put me on house arrest for three years.
00:46:29.020 The FBI raided me, and I was fired from the company I founded.
00:46:34.560 I mean, I don't know what their next move is.
00:46:37.820 I mean, I hesitate to say what I think their next move is, but I actually have faith this
00:46:44.480 time, Bannon, because I don't think this is a left or right issue.
00:46:48.660 I think this is about money, and I don't see it.
00:46:52.280 I mean, I suppose because it's 8A subcontractors, the program is kind of a DEI thing.
00:46:57.640 It's well-intentioned.
00:46:59.000 It's supposed to help minority groups and small businesses, but the small businesses sub
00:47:03.820 out the work to Accenture and these large firms.
00:47:07.500 Unbelievable.
00:47:07.820 And the small businesses and the 8A groups do zero work.
00:47:12.040 It's a federal crime to do less than 51% of the work, and they're on tape bragging about
00:47:17.100 it.
00:47:17.260 The woman is giving specific data, specific numbers. 0.91
00:47:20.680 So I honestly have no idea.
00:47:24.580 What I will say, and what has to happen is Cash and Pam and Russ, I know that they have
00:47:30.500 this, and they need to take action.
00:47:33.560 They're in charge.
00:47:34.680 There's no abuse.
00:47:36.720 I think the latest I heard is they're waiting for the New York Times to report it.
00:47:39.740 Stop waiting for the New York Times.
00:47:41.880 Do your job.
00:47:42.920 I mean this sincerely.
00:47:43.800 Charlie, brother, I'm telling you, as we told Charlie and other people, you are a big-time
00:47:52.040 target.
00:47:52.680 They tried to put you in prison.
00:47:53.960 They had the FBI kick down your door.
00:47:55.780 They did everything to harass you, a house arrest for three years.
00:47:58.700 People don't even know that.
00:48:00.320 He was a house arrest for three years.
00:48:01.800 The company you found, it was so great, got you fired from that, took it from you.
00:48:07.420 You're high on their list, and you better not just lawyer up, you better security up.
00:48:13.800 O'Keefe, where do we get all this?
00:48:16.140 Lawsuits.
00:48:16.540 Go ahead.
00:48:17.420 Lawsuits.
00:48:18.220 I would say lawsuits is probably their play.
00:48:22.720 They're going to try to use litigation to bankrupt me.
00:48:24.780 That would be the most obvious response here.
00:48:28.740 Yeah, but you're more dangerous to them than that.
00:48:31.220 They'll try that.
00:48:32.120 Don't get me wrong.
00:48:33.660 But you're a warrior.
00:48:34.400 And this program, brother, is how, just like the NGOs, this is how they fund the radical
00:48:40.080 left.
00:48:40.460 This is when you went after Acorn.
00:48:41.860 And knowing now, knowing now what they knew, if they knew then, if they knew then what
00:48:46.840 they know now, trust me, you're a warrior, and you don't back down, and you keep coming
00:48:52.460 up with one great hit after the other.
00:48:54.760 So it's pretty stunning.
00:48:56.700 Where do people go to O'Keefe Media Group to get this, sir?
00:49:00.200 O'Keefe Media Group and Citizen Journalism Foundation.
00:49:02.760 We are tax deductible now.
00:49:04.380 So if you're watching this program and you support this journalism, donate to us.
00:49:07.780 We have another one coming out on Wednesday, another organization getting money from the
00:49:12.840 SBA, getting money from these Super 8A contracts, and admitting to wire fraud and pass-throughs.
00:49:19.100 This is going to come out Wednesday.
00:49:20.420 We have another one coming out Thursday.
00:49:22.060 We're going to keep busting these guys.
00:49:24.020 We want people to get arrested.
00:49:25.760 We want justice.
00:49:26.920 And we're not going to stop until we get it.
00:49:29.060 And stay tuned for Wednesday.
00:49:30.340 And Steve, I hope to talk to you then.
00:49:32.280 I think we will have you on Wednesday and Thursday, sir.
00:49:34.780 Already pre-booked.
00:49:35.480 Thank you, James O'Keefe.
00:49:36.560 You're a hero and a warrior.
00:49:38.840 Thank you.
00:49:40.300 People didn't know they had O'Keefe on house arrest.
00:49:43.760 I think it went to the ankle through for three years.
00:49:47.100 Remember, O'Keefe's one of these guys that kept doing it.
00:49:49.020 If we didn't come back, O'Keefe would be in prison right now.
00:49:53.420 That's how much they want to get O'Keefe.
00:49:55.680 Brad, I know you've got to bounce.
00:49:57.360 I'm going to have you back on.
00:49:58.460 I'll talk to you either this afternoon or tomorrow.
00:50:00.040 We'll talk more about the spiritual side of this.
00:50:02.620 But I've got to ask you, you were in Congress, how in the hell does this happen?
00:50:06.580 This is one of the things that's supposed to be gutting.
00:50:08.180 Now we have a problem.
00:50:08.900 It has to be O'Keefe going in undercover and get the SBA guys on top of it and now get Cash or Dan Bongino or Pam or Russ or somebody's attention.
00:50:17.620 But this is not – it's not – this is – why is Congress on this?
00:50:20.920 Why is this in the appropriations process not come out and say, no, we're not doing this anymore, brother?
00:50:25.820 Yeah, well, you see, Trump is carrying the whole load.
00:50:31.460 Congress – Russ Vogt a couple years back had a $1.5 trillion cut per year.
00:50:38.340 Congress put in a $1.5 trillion cut over 10 years and couldn't get it to happen.
00:50:42.680 There's money laundering going all over the place, right?
00:50:45.060 There's $300 billion going over to Ukraine.
