00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:07.000 Pray for our enemies.
00:00:09.000 Because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:12.000 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:17.000 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:19.000 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:00:20.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:22.000 but you're not going to stop it.
00:00:23.000 It's going to happen.
00:00:24.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:27.000 MAGA Media.
00:00:29.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.320 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:38.080 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.260 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:00:50.680 Thursday, 5 November, Year of Our Lord, 2026.
00:00:53.200 Motor riding shotgun. We've got Todd Benzman on.
00:00:55.560 And, Todd, I just want to go back to this situation with Texas, with everything you heard of Brian Harrison,
00:01:02.440 with the governor there who has pretty extraordinary powers, executive powers, given what we know about their philosophy.
00:01:11.660 And, you know, today we started with the cold open for you talking about how they're very focused on ICE and ICE enforcement immediately.
00:01:20.420 you know what would it take to make texas as you see it right now what would it take to make texas
00:01:28.100 a sanctuary state and then i'm going to ask you then how do we thwart that but what would it take
00:01:32.960 right now because texas as a california texas as a illinois texas as a new york uh you're talking
00:01:42.320 And then you're talking extinction level event, sir.
00:01:48.000 OK, well, the first thing is that immigrants illegally here want to know that they don't have to look over their shoulder as much for ICE or the local cops who are 287G.
00:02:02.740 We talked about 287G earlier. If the state police are pulled back, then they're going to have to worry quite a bit less, number one.
00:02:16.660 And number two, and that's sanctuary-like. There is a law on the books that you can't be a sanctuary city.
00:02:23.340 and there are criteria. If you fall below the criteria and you're doing things that are
00:02:30.520 sanctuary-like in San Antonio or Austin, then the government can come crack down on you.
00:02:38.460 I'm not sure what the penalties are, but they're steep penalties if you get caught doing that. 0.51
00:02:43.380 So I think that the new government would come in and just simply say, you know what,
00:02:47.540 we're just not going to enforce that law. We're going to look the other way.
00:02:53.340 when san antonio decides to also become uh sanctuary like uh i think that's a a major
00:03:00.460 issue uh third is that you know we in texas issue driver licenses they're temporary they're
00:03:09.660 supposedly temporary driver's licenses to uh people who are non-citizens uh and that is um
00:03:17.900 an issue of some controversy because that's been going on even under Republican administrations.
00:03:24.800 But there has been some constriction on that, issuing licenses and then the renewals,
00:03:31.980 especially the renewals, et cetera. Well, I can see a new Democratic regime coming in and just
00:03:38.780 like opening that spigot wide. Everybody gets it. And we're not looking closely at any of that.
00:03:44.020 And by the way, if you want to click on register to vote, feel free.
00:03:48.340 I wouldn't be surprised if any of that sort of thing started happening.
00:03:52.260 Also, there are restrictions on banking, what you need to be able to establish bank accounts.
00:03:59.620 I mean, if you go to the city of San Francisco's website, they have a whole page about how if you're not a citizen, we have all these special banking services for you, right?
00:04:10.560 So there is quite a bit of leeway for them to make it easier to live illegally here in Texas.
00:04:18.060 There's a lot that they can do.
00:04:20.700 They can look the other way on laws that are already on the books.
00:04:23.540 They could maybe, like Harrison says, just slash and burn the laws that got passed.
00:04:29.520 They can pull DPS and say, do not arrest illegal immigrants anywhere.
00:04:36.480 You're forbidden from that.
00:04:38.280 And, you know, again, just make a welcoming, like a big welcome mat.
00:04:45.720 Tallarico says, you know, we're going to put a big welcome mat on the border two years from now.
00:04:50.840 If there's no Trump in office and no Republican in office, and there very well might not be if Texas doesn't flip back to red, because you've got to have those electoral college votes to win, there's going to be a Democrat in office.
00:05:06.160 And then you'd have Democrats running Texas who want zero razor wire, zero water barriers, really just no enforcement down there whatsoever.
00:05:18.360 It'd be like California during the Biden administration.
00:05:21.400 There was nothing down there.
00:05:23.280 They were just pouring in or Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, at least there was some kind of membrane they had to go through.
00:05:32.240 there was still opposition. And if you were a drug trafficker, you could very well get caught
00:05:37.520 by Texas or smuggling. You could very well get caught or other crimes. So imagine nothing down
00:05:45.340 there, just wide open. And remember, I told you the Texas border is totally unique. It is way
00:05:52.380 easier to sneak in over the Texas border sight unseen than any of the other border areas
00:05:58.740 along the southern border.
00:06:04.300 Todd, where do people go right now?
00:06:06.800 We're going to have you back on and break this down further
00:06:08.560 because there's an emergency down in Texas,
00:06:10.900 Brian Harrison laid out today.
00:06:13.780 Where do people go for all your information,
00:06:16.980 your website, your books, and particularly your social media
00:06:19.320 because you're putting up great stuff all the time?
00:06:22.560 Yeah, BenzmanTodd at X.
00:06:24.640 I'm on True Social, Todd Benzman.
00:06:26.800 uh getter uh you can find me at heritage i've got a web page there all my work is
00:06:33.000 recent work since i've been there is up todd bensman.com is my uh portfolio website and i
00:06:39.680 put all my stuff up there including a lot of these bannon clips so a lot of these bannon clips well
00:06:46.940 thank you for doing that we always love clips and that's how we spread the word thank you so much
00:06:50.900 todd uh look forward to talking to you after the show and have you back on take care
00:06:55.540 let's play a cold over we've got a cold over for john solomon john solomon's going to join us
00:07:01.200 momentary our co-host from election eve coverage let's go and play it so there's a thing in this
00:07:07.640 drama that that has been hard to get to and it's it's the emotion of it uh we all knew the numbers
00:07:13.640 we all knew the what could happen and and then it it happens in front of us but in a in a in a
00:07:20.200 great drama there's be under the under the dialogue there's the emotion and one of the
00:07:25.380 things that delivers that emotion are the acceptance speeches which we didn't get because
00:07:29.360 we had so much to cover as everything was rolling in and alaska still happening and all of that
00:07:33.820 and if you if you want to feel the emotion of what this was and how this movie really played out
00:07:39.240 you really have to watch those and i think that will help people who keep texting me saying i can't
00:07:44.860 wrap my head around this you have to wrap your head and your emotions around this what did you
00:07:49.380 experience. And one of the things that has been experienced is that the reign of terror is over.
00:07:55.160 And all you want when you're in a reign of terror is for the terror to stop. You're not even hoping
00:08:00.560 for a good thing to happen. You just want the terror to stop. And the emotion of the realization
00:08:07.580 that the terror has stopped. It has stopped in Washington. I don't mean it's stopped, you know,
00:08:12.900 for farm workers who Donald Trump may still be trying to round up and all that. But it has
00:08:17.120 stopped in Washington, this reign of terror of that madman and the White House controls everything 0.97
00:08:23.360 is now over. Ask you about ICE, because clearly listening to voters as they came out of the polls
00:08:28.240 the other night, this was a really important issue. Three quarters of voters said that this
00:08:32.680 was critical, that the conduct of ICE and the deportation regime of this administration
00:08:37.700 influenced their vote. How are you managing that here in New York City? Because for the most part,
00:08:43.260 while they're here. We haven't seen those ugly scenes in the streets of New York City.
00:08:47.600 What's the balance you've struck with ICE, with the NYPD, with this administration around that?
00:08:52.760 Well, I think it continues to be a tension with federal policy because we've made clear to them
00:08:57.080 that we are never going to assist them in civil immigration enforcement. We are not
00:09:01.100 going to be a part of a deportation agenda in the way that they've built this administration.
00:09:06.060 And what that means is we don't allow city property. We don't allow city agencies
00:09:10.020 to be used in that fashion. We have executive orders we've put forward to that end. And we
00:09:14.420 were also letting businesses know who own parking lots that we want them to stop letting those
00:09:19.920 parking lots be the site of where ICE is staging their locations and staging their enforcement.
00:09:25.300 Because again, what we're talking about is a federal agency that is willing to open fire
00:09:30.120 on a moving car in broad daylight right after school's let out. They're willing to shoot at
00:09:35.200 somebody, despite the fact that there's a five-year-old child in that same car. And what
00:09:40.220 you're seeing from Americans across the country is that the very politics we were told could only
00:09:44.860 succeed in New York City is actually succeeding from Astoria to Albuquerque to Allentown across
00:09:52.360 this country. And what we're seeing is that working class Americans are tired of a corruption
00:09:57.960 of their politics and a corruption of their prices. So you were talking about that shooting 0.99
00:10:01.800 in the Bronx. At that moment, you called for President Trump to cease ICE operations in the
00:10:06.880 city. He has not. So speak to us, though, about what is the next step of your relationship with
00:10:12.940 President Trump, who now is, of course, yesterday, in some ways, should be humbled because his party
00:10:17.500 was dealt a significant rebuke in the House and the Senate. Do you feel like you and your fellow
00:10:21.880 Democrats, is there an opportunity there? I think there's always an opportunity. And you always have
00:10:26.180 to make the ask because our job is to exhaust every single option. We have Americans who are
00:10:34.120 unable to afford their rent, their groceries, their child care. Our responsibility is to try
00:10:40.080 everything to deliver change that they can feel in their wallets. And that means taking every
00:10:45.000 possible avenue. The president and I still disagree about ICE operations in New York City,
00:10:49.840 but I will still call the president if there's something else that could help New Yorkers.
00:10:53.420 I think we need to understand exactly what that was. Why? Because it's costing us dearly in terms
00:10:58.180 of the lives of our service men and women, in terms of the price of gas, in terms of the price
00:11:02.380 of groceries. Similarly, you know, more niche story, but one that I've been paying attention
00:11:06.480 to for a lot of reasons. In Michigan, we were dodging lettuce all summer. Why? Because of a
00:11:11.360 cyclosporiasis outbreak. And you think about that and you're like, okay, so what decisions were made
00:11:16.460 to doge away the part of the FDA that is supposed to be the FDA? Like make sure you're not eating
00:11:21.700 lettuce that someone has defiled. Right. And then we ate, you know, people were eating that
00:11:26.200 8000 illnesses. And the CDC's count was 2000 cases behind the Michigan Department of Health
00:11:32.440 and Human Services count. I want to understand exactly what happened there so we can set up
00:11:36.840 legislation to solve the problem. So long as people see our politics as being about this red
00:11:41.820 versus blue retribution game, all of us collectively lose. If you are are focused on addressing the
00:11:48.200 ways that bad decisions were made so that you can solve them and then you solve them, that's where
00:11:52.860 I think accountability has to stand. So what about ICE? I mean, you don't have to investigate the
00:11:58.120 shooting of Alex Preddy, right, or the murder of Renee Goode. Apparently they don't want to.
00:12:03.300 Can we find out, though, who shot them? We should. Can we find out who's behind the masks?
00:12:09.040 Can the Senate do that? I hope we do. And, you know, it is my intent, as I've always said,
00:12:15.080 that I don't think, I said this in 2018, ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing
00:12:20.180 paramilitary force on our streets. And I don't think we need an ICE. We had the safest environment
00:12:25.200 when it came to any of these issues back when we had INS. And then we created an ICE, and now
00:12:30.580 Donald Trump has weaponized it twice in his first term and his second term. I do think that people
00:12:34.560 who broke our laws under the guise of serving in the federal government need to be held accountable
00:12:39.140 for what they've done. And we need to understand that. But more importantly, we've got to be
00:12:43.320 oriented, not just around accountability, but towards solving a problem down the stretch. So
00:12:47.780 preventing the worst thing from happening that can yet happen. The president, at least so far
00:12:51.700 in the two days since the defeat has suggested he will be willing to work across the aisle. My
00:12:56.440 question to you is, do you believe him? And if he is true to his word, what would be a common ground
00:13:01.120 to be found? It's funny what happens when you stand up to people and you beat them.
00:13:05.640 And I think people have always seen Donald Trump as this big monster that's unbeatable. It turns
00:13:10.200 out, you just stand up to him and he can read the tea leaves. I'm willing to work with anyone.
00:13:15.120 And I want to talk about something because I think people see our politics as this game where
00:13:19.260 you get retribution on the other side. It's not about retribution. It should never be about
00:13:22.760 retribution. It's about enforcing the rule of law and most importantly, delivering for the
00:13:26.680 American public. So if he's interested in getting money out of politics, putting money in pockets
00:13:30.320 and passing Medicare for all, that's what I ran to do. And I'm looking forward to working with
00:13:34.020 anyone who is willing to do that. He is the president of the United States. He does have
00:13:37.440 substantial power i'm going to be one united states senator and if he's interested in working
00:13:41.140 on issues that i want to work on getting more people health care ending the medicare cuts 0.99
00:13:44.620 ending the stupid war stopping these stupid tariffs with canada then let's talk about doing 0.98
00:13:48.580 that and go and deliver for the public clearly they went a different way for a reason let's see 0.99
00:13:53.140 if we can't learn from that and make sure we're delivering for folks laurence o'donnell tees it
00:13:57.720 up as a reign of terror has ended we're gonna take a short commercial break john solomon's
00:14:02.680 going to join us. We're going to talk about that. Also, Mark Lewis, Mark Lucas on exactly what needs
00:14:08.800 to be done as they move and they're going to move rapidly to impeach certain members of President
00:14:13.560 Trump's administration. You heard it right there. They don't want to enforce any immigration laws
00:14:18.640 at all. They want to go and take the mask off these brave, courageous ICE agents. So they're
00:14:25.460 coming and they're coming hard, folks. John Solomon after a break. Birchgall, times of uncertainty,
00:14:30.280 fluctuation. Find out why gold has been a hedge against both fiat currency and times of
00:14:38.080 financial instability for, I don't know, 3,000 years of mankind's history.

00:16:11.260 We're commemorating Veterans Day in a big way at Birch Gold.
00:16:17.780 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann.
00:16:20.420 John Solomon, you've always got Inside Baseball.
00:16:24.820 What does it tell you?
00:16:25.620 We've got a situation Texas needs to be dealt with right away. 0.97
00:16:30.920 Also, this lame duck session is going to be massive.
00:16:34.100 Your thoughts, you're hearing from both Democrats and members of the administration.
00:16:38.780 Where are we right now?
00:16:40.680 I think the smoke is still clearing.
00:16:42.520 But I think one thing that we need to take away from the data, and the data drives elections, two things.
00:16:48.380 We drove a lot of people to the polls who were our people in 24 that ended up voting against us.
00:16:54.480 You need to have a system able to detect that before you drive them to the polls.
00:16:58.220 We actually drove up a Democrat to get out the vote.
00:17:02.320 Now, we drove our people to the polls, but what we didn't hear from them, what we didn't listen from them is,
00:17:08.680 if you send me the polls, I'm voting against you because I'm mad as hell that you made my steak dinner that much more expensive
00:17:15.460 and my gas fill of my diesel-powered pickup truck.
00:17:19.860 So we have institutional, political, tactician problems that we've got to solve.
00:17:26.120 But the bigger issue right now is that it is wrong to read what happened yesterday
00:17:31.580 as a rejection of Trump policies, of Republican policies,
00:17:36.920 or that there's been a fundamental shift in the electorate.
00:17:40.740 one out of five people that voted for Democrats, one out of every five people, 20% of the people
00:17:47.220 that voted for at least one Democrat had a negative view of the Democratic Party. They
00:17:52.040 had an unfavorable view. This was a protest vote. Those one five, that one fifth comes back to our
00:17:58.380 side, independents and Republicans. It's a tsunami in the other direction. Texas is not going to be
00:18:04.440 blue for long if Republicans go back to what they're supposed to do. They promised smaller
00:18:09.420 government, a more affordable and deflated economy, meaning less inflation, no long-term
00:18:16.820 wars, and returning money to the people's pockets. They did the last. They got big tax breaks done
00:18:23.160 with the big, beautiful bill. They did not succeed in any of the others. Donald Trump's going to
00:18:27.820 deliver a $2.5 trillion deficit again this year. The United States government is essentially the
00:18:33.300 same size it's been. There were no major changes in the budget. They threw themselves a party for
00:18:40.320 a $9 billion rescission. It's a $7 trillion budget. And by the way, that budget drives up
00:18:47.320 inflation. It's the reason why mortgage rates are at 7%. It may one day rise to 8%.
00:18:52.360 Gas went up because of the wars. Ukraine and Russia affected diesel, regular gas affected by
00:19:00.360 the Iran war. If Republicans get back to the basics, those 20 percent that left the party
00:19:07.280 go the other way and Republicans can have their own tsunami. It's not clear to me that anyone in
00:19:13.260 the Republican Party heard that message. They've got all their other different theories about why
00:19:17.480 they lost. It's a really simple thing. Republicans got fired because they fumbled the ball on the
00:19:23.020 number one thing they promised to do in 2024, fix the affordability problem. Gas, diesel and food
00:19:29.440 are the three things that are the most touch points for affordability.
00:19:34.480 When you get the affordability issue in the economy,
00:19:39.180 keeping focus on the economy, and you've got a lame duck,
00:19:43.140 and you're hearing all this about this omnibus bill
00:19:45.440 that could have a $3 trillion deficit because they want a loaded wall.
00:19:49.440 How do you actually make a logical attempt to get your arms around spending,
00:19:54.860 get your arms around the deficits?
00:19:56.000 Because our theory of the case here is the deficits definitely drive up.
00:19:59.440 borrowing costs. Scott Besson right now, I mean, we're one failed treasury auction away
00:20:03.940 from something horrible. Given this lame duck, where you're going to see a lot of people that
00:20:10.560 are going to try to become lobbyists when you have a purchase, and they're going to say they're
00:20:13.780 going to be representing their future clients, which are going to be their clients on January
00:20:17.840 3rd. That's right. Then worrying about the overall government. How do we stop the madness and the
00:20:23.720 chaos that could come about in the lame duck? Listen, the Republican Senate might as well be
00:20:31.860 a Democrat Senate. It acted like a Democrat Senate most of the first two years of the
00:20:35.800 president's thing. Anyone who thinks it's suddenly going to wake up and do something great for the
00:20:40.780 country is delusional. By the way, most of those senators who lost, they got nothing to lose right
00:20:47.060 now. They're probably padding their next job, right? They're looking for their next job in the
00:20:50.700 K Street lobby. If the president wants to do something dramatic, by the way, this is not
00:20:55.860 going to be an impotent, lame duck president. He is going to be the blocker in chief of bad ideas,
00:21:01.460 and he still has executive power, enormous executive power. When Florida wanted to fix
00:21:07.340 its financial crisis, it created a CFO for government, and it started running its government
00:21:13.040 like it was a business. What a unique idea. That doesn't require an act of Congress. The
00:21:19.040 president could say, hey, OMB or whoever, you're the CEO of the government, start reducing our
00:21:25.160 operating losses. That would be dramatic. You don't need Congress. They could try to pass things
00:21:29.740 to stop and you could just veto it. They don't have a veto-proof margin. Those are the bold
00:21:34.760 ideas that Donald Trump can take into the presidency's last two years to do things in 0.99
00:21:39.640 spite of Republicans, to stop saying, oh, those damn Senate Republicans, yeah, we figured it out 0.99
00:21:44.820 about a month into the presidency. Don't complain about them. Do the things and work around them. 1.00
00:21:49.800 And I think you can do that on affordability. Look at what he did on housing just before the
00:21:54.500 election. It didn't get enough attention. That executive order he did on housing creates an
00:22:00.220 entry point for young people, unlike anything since the GI Bill in the 1950s, done all through
00:22:05.700 executive fiat. He can do that on tax law. He can do it on so many things. He can revoke Ilhan
00:22:13.220 Omar's citizenship. He can order prosecutions that should have got done two years ago. He could
00:22:19.340 take away the tax exemptions of groups that aren't charities, they're political machines
00:22:23.480 trying to carry out the CCP's will on our soil. This president could have the most powerful ending
00:22:29.760 of any presidency in two years if he uses executive fiat. Block the Democrats, explain why you do it
00:22:36.080 every time, have a clear message, and then use executive power. Do not count on Senate Republicans
00:22:40.960 for anything until they get back to a different majority.
00:22:44.260 It's just that simple.
00:22:45.440 And it starts with a messaging problem, too.
00:22:48.320 The White House never messaged its successes.
00:22:50.660 It never messaged its war.
00:22:52.980 And as a result, its podium was weak
00:22:55.420 for the first two years of the presidency.
00:22:57.620 I can't find a single person who voted
00:22:59.780 who knew why the president really went to war.
00:23:02.440 They've heard Tucker's version.
00:23:04.120 They've heard your version.
00:23:04.960 They never really heard the president's version
00:23:08.060 why they did it.
00:23:08.940 they got to get a strong podium drive a message and then go do things that a very powerful
00:23:15.520 executive can do because democrats are going to just have crazy ideas for two years we could get
00:23:20.960 a lot done this falls right into what i was talking about yesterday about about this understanding
00:23:26.820 this war john solomon where do people go to get all your hey real quick steve you said something
00:23:31.720 yesterday really important can i just intrude on this because i really sure sure sure lawfare is
00:23:36.800 the first strike against Donald Trump. Now, it may be more muted than we think, because Democrats
00:23:41.740 have got to be focused on affordability, not impeachment, or they're going to have the same
00:23:45.500 fate as Republicans. But the very first thing the president can do to make sure that his team isn't
00:23:50.400 taken off the field is to sign an executive order and say, any government official, if you're
00:23:55.560 contacted in any inquiry from a state, a city, a legislature, a Congress, a prosecutor, anything
00:24:02.880 about your work in government, we're going to pay your private legal bills, because that was
00:24:06.340 a consequence of doing work. You're being punished for working here. That takes care of part of the
00:24:11.180 lawfare. Create a private fund to do that. They need to do that now so that good people don't
00:24:15.620 leave the administration who are good athletes or people aren't afraid to come in and be good
00:24:20.220 athletes for the two things. You've got to have an answer to lawfare. If you work for the government
00:24:24.760 and you're now getting subpoenaed, tortured, whatever it's going to be, your government
00:24:29.380 should stand behind you and do that, not have you die by the cut of a thousand legal bills that
00:24:34.760 total millions of dollars that's something right now that he could put his team on level footing
00:24:38.960 and then move to step two and step three step four this is amazing because this is what got
00:24:44.200 mark lucas on talking about this very topic i just want to go back over this um while i got you then
00:24:48.940 what you're saying is you've got to get ahead of this because you're already hearing rumblings
00:24:53.180 about people that can't that would like to think about even going into the administration now to
00:25:00.000 change the watch on the staff. They'd say, hey, look, I don't have an extra million dollars
00:25:06.900 laying around for my legal. So hit rewind on that one more time and tell me what you recommend the
00:25:12.920 president do immediately. Yeah. If you're being subpoenaed for something you did in the government's
00:25:17.720 employment for a congressional committee, a legislature, a state prosecutor, a federal
00:25:22.020 prosecutor, the government should cover your legal bills. It's the cost of their doing business.
00:25:26.540 they're asking you. By the way, it also protects the government's interest because
00:25:30.060 the government's attorney, Klineipovic, is also your attorney, Klineipovic. So it bonds it together.
00:25:35.540 There's precedent for doing this, but the president should just get that fixed for people so that
00:25:40.080 they're not thinking about, I'm about to be bankrupted for doing nothing wrong. I did my
00:25:44.460 job. I did what the president asked me to do. It is a very simple thing that he could do right now.
00:25:49.420 I've talked to lots of lawyers. It's completely legal as far as I can tell. I'm not a lawyer.
00:25:54.060 But doing something like that would allow people to come into government and realize, all right, you might get hauled before Congress, but your bills are taken care of.
00:26:01.880 We'll get you counsel.
00:26:02.640 We'll do that.
00:26:03.440 Focus on the job of the American people and stop worrying about whether you have to sell your two homes and dump your kids' education fund just to survive the next two years.
00:26:12.740 That should be taken off the table.
00:26:14.520 By the way, it should be available for Democrats in the future when they're in government as well.
00:26:18.640 It's the right way to do it.
00:26:19.520 If you get subpoenaed for your government work, the government should represent you because what you're being asked about is what you did in the government.
00:26:27.100 Real quickly, because I know you've got to bounce.
00:26:30.660 O'Donnell, in the cold open for you, he talked about the reign of terror.
00:26:34.820 Your theory, I think, may be different.
00:26:36.320 You don't think the Democrats are going to come as hard on investigations, on impeachments, as I believe you think they're going to take a longer strategic view about 2020-28?
00:26:48.020 Listen, it isn't what I think.
00:26:49.360 It's kind of just what I heard in reporting yesterday, in reporting among Democrats yesterday.
00:26:53.220 They're going to be much more muted, not have lead with impeachment.
00:26:56.040 Now, they'll have their signal and drum corps and their five corps banging the drums on it.
00:27:00.500 But the leadership realizes if we start impeachment and lots of that stuff and gas prices are still high, we're dead in 28.
00:27:09.820 And, you know, the Democrats are really aware they could pass 100,000 things in the next two years.
00:27:15.020 Donald Trump's going to veto everyone he doesn't like, and they can't override it.
00:27:18.300 Nothing they can do.
00:27:19.360 And if they impeach him, they get J.D. Vance.
00:27:21.560 They ain't going to get any better from J.D. Vance.
00:27:23.940 He's going to block him, too.
00:27:25.000 So at the end of the day, I think they'll be more muted.
00:27:28.020 They'll talk big.
00:27:29.360 They'll execute a little bit smaller.
00:27:31.080 That doesn't mean the process won't be expensive and painful for people.
00:27:33.920 So take that worry off of people's plate right now.
00:27:36.880 And then you're worried about governing and fixing.
00:27:39.220 And you should start to govern America like Ron DeSantis governed Florida.
00:27:43.680 And before him, the two prior governors, they did a good job.
00:27:48.360 They fixed Florida.
00:27:49.360 john real quickly where do people go for your content you bet jay solomon reports on all

00:28:21.520 could soon impact the wealth of millions of hard-working americans like you of course you
00:28:27.760 won't hear about this in the mainstream media or on the nightly news they'll never admit trump was
00:28:33.600 right about anything but according to my dear friend and frequent war room guest jim rickards
00:28:39.740 President Trump has a plan that could unlock an estimated 2.7 trillion dollars in American
00:28:45.260 resources, creating opportunities that many investors may not even realize exist. Jim recently

00:29:23.660 Go check it out today, RickardsWarRoom.com.
00:29:26.540 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:29:29.000 I didn't have a chance to get to it yesterday, but I just want to give that headline.
00:29:35.900 We'll talk more about this.
00:29:37.340 NVIDIA demands cut in clients.
00:29:40.200 China's dealing to protect American AI lead.
00:29:43.560 Chipmaker curves.
00:29:44.600 Cloud provides. 1.00
00:29:45.880 Most partners must be non-Chinese blow. 1.00
00:29:48.000 Da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:29:49.460 What we've been arguing about for a while, Jensen Wong, an agent of influence for the Chinese Communist Party.
00:29:55.320 Now they caught, you know, the quote-unquote honeypot, which I think they're kind of blaming it on the honeypot because he's corrupt as it possibly can be, right there.
00:30:06.820 This guy is the single guy looking at third parties, looking at black market chips, selling chips to the Chinese Communist Party, advocating time and time and time and time again that it doesn't matter what country wins the air race.
00:30:19.120 It doesn't matter what companies win the air race.
00:30:21.240 he's a liar he's been caught and now they're doing a massive shift of policy like we've demanded
00:30:27.200 from the beginning this guy's a very dangerous guy and uh i think there's got to be a much 0.89
00:30:32.600 bigger formal investigation of exactly what went on there and the american public
00:30:37.400 deserve to see all the findings of this just like this presidential commission the washington post
00:30:44.720 picked up uh my rant last night about what we have to john solomon just said right there he
00:30:49.340 hasn't met one person that understands why we actually went to war. It's now time since the
00:30:56.020 Israelis refused to do it. Now it's part of the campaign, but given the fact of how they're 0.86
00:31:01.880 putting together the government, it doesn't look like it's going to be a priority or ever done.
00:31:05.140 And quite frankly, to be brutally frank, given that this election came down to essentially not
00:31:11.740 just the war, but the people say the war, it's all the detailed aspects of this. We need to start
00:31:19.100 with a fact finding from American institutions and American players, and we need to get the
00:31:23.620 facts out to the American people. We, the American people, need to know if the Israelis are not going
00:31:28.700 to demand immediately that they have a formal investigation of October 7th, then that's their
00:31:33.360 deal. But since we get sucked into this whole thing, it's vitally important to us. We must do
00:31:39.580 it. We must get the facts, and then we got to get the facts of the run-up to the 12-day war,
00:31:44.100 the facts about the total obliteration which i think it was handled 99 and the president told
00:31:49.620 us that and then we got to find out what happened in part two and scott bessen's economic war how
00:31:55.180 how was it uh how was the proceeding we shouldn't have any more kinetic activity until this is done
00:32:02.560 we want our sovereignty back we have to act like we want our sovereignty back not just talk about
00:32:07.200 oh it's about the war yeah but we need we need a plan of action and you need to we need to do it
00:32:14.320 we need to do that as a country you must and i think convince particularly the younger generation
00:32:19.300 that we are a sovereign nation in the united states and citizens the united states call our
00:32:23.840 own shots mark lucas natalie's going to be with me this evening and we'll get into some of this
00:32:30.260 this evening uh mark lucas uh john solomon thinks there may be they may temper their approach here
00:32:37.540 because of concerns about 2028 my issue is that they've got so many uh so many crazies that are
00:32:45.940 now going to have the levers of power they're not going to be able to control themselves this is
00:32:50.060 what happened this is pelosi promised in 18 she was going to impeach the president so many people
00:32:55.360 uh said initially oh in in 19 oh they're not going to do they're going to work on all this
00:33:00.760 all she was waiting for is something she could jump on so she took the perfect phone call
00:33:05.240 as we now understand with zelinski and jumped right all over it to to impeach trump to try
00:33:10.980 to cripple him understanding the economy was starting to boom in the late summer early fall
00:33:15.600 of 2019 to cripple trump for the uh for the 2020 election and of course when that failed and we
00:33:22.800 We turned it into we we created the show War of Impeachment.
00:33:26.500 That's why I started yesterday's with Jason Miller here to go through that about how we combat it, combated that with information.
00:33:35.100 We flooded the zone with information for three hours a day to make sure that we could break the lance of of impeachment as being, you know, as anything more than just a political hack job to try to drive Trump from office.
00:33:51.380 Now, as we've warned, they I think they're looking at cabinet members right now.
00:33:57.560 Pete Hexeth and Bobby Kennedy. Now, was Pete going to be around?
00:34:00.580 Who knows? All kind of back chat and talks going on.
00:34:03.960 But walk me through. You're you're very concerned about this.
00:34:07.080 And you're also very concerned about this lame duck.
00:34:10.560 And, folks, there could be some stuff in this lame duck that happens that fundamentally shifts the direction of the country that nobody signed up for.
00:34:17.880 So, Mark Lucas, the floor is yours.
00:34:19.220 yeah i pray that john solomon's right for the sake of our country but as a former military planner
00:34:26.600 when we do course of action development we always plan for the most likely course of action
00:34:31.060 but also the most dangerous course of action and we're seeing that democrats never impeach people
00:34:37.480 if they're not effective and pete hegseth has been incredibly effective rfk jr has also been
00:34:44.260 effective. And I just want to remind people of Pete's record and why these leftists are really
00:34:49.140 going after him. Yeah, I think it's a test run on impeachment against the president of the United
00:34:53.320 States. I absolutely think they're leveraging, you know, the broken hearts club of Thomas Massey
00:34:58.080 and Tom Tillis to let them drive this in the lame duck session. But the reason why Democrats
00:35:04.020 despise Pete Hegseth is because he's changed the culture of the Pentagon. He's ended the war on
00:35:10.880 warriors. He removed DEI and all that woke crap. He's had a surge. I got that. Mark, Mark, Mark, 0.99
00:35:18.760 Mark. I got that. But this is like 1965. You just we we lost a kinetic war. We have not won a
00:35:27.400 regime. We went into a regime change war. The second was regime change war. Pete's gets to go
00:35:32.860 back and look at the briefings from the Pentagon. They're not exactly on point. Do you disagree with
00:35:37.780 that? I mean, I got the fact he's done a great job with the pushups and the warrior thing and
00:35:42.480 getting recruitment up and having a more esprit de corps and motivational. But we're talking about
00:35:49.060 a we're talking about a kinetic war. We're talking about actually going to a war against the Persians.
00:35:54.120 And here we are a long way from victory. Who's accountable for that? Is the commander in chief
00:35:59.820 or is that is it the the head of the Department of War or is the chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff?
00:36:05.060 Oh, I absolutely understand that. I live in the state of Iowa. We had historic losses that were driven by the war in Iran. But I don't want people to lose sight of how lost our military was before Pete Hegseth. They tried to force an unlawful COVID-19 vaccine on me that I had to reject.
00:36:24.820 They were filtering people out of the military. We're losing good officers, good enlisted. Our military was woke and it was lost. So that's definitely a part of this strategy that they want to put somebody in.
00:36:38.300 Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. I got that. And Pete should be rewarded for that. General McClellan, you know, we would be highly unlikely that we would be the United States of the 19th century and leading into the 20th century if General McClellan had not organized the Army of the Potomac in the incredible way he organized the Army of Potomac.
00:37:03.260 and he was relieved for cause because he couldn't deliver victories in the field he just he just he
00:37:09.700 didn't he wasn't winning and eventually they went to a couple more guys and grant came in with
00:37:14.500 sherman and had the plan of hey we're going to burn this out to the ground we don't care how
00:37:18.280 many people we're going to lose because it's going to take what it's going to take right now we're in
00:37:23.340 a very untenable situation for so he's like mcclellan to a degree he's done a fantastic job
00:37:29.200 in recruitment he's done a fantastic job of esprit de corps if you talk to officers and other
00:37:34.200 people over there uh there's clearly much more motivation but at some point the buck's got to
00:37:40.640 stop about this war we just had a catastrophic defeat militarily that goes back to the war
00:37:46.340 decisions around the war who made the decisions where the information came from what did the
00:37:52.520 israelis have to say and this is why i'm calling for a president's commission now so we get all
00:37:56.440 that on the table we can stop because right now it's very fuzzy we can't have fuzzy we have to
00:38:01.040 have amazing clarity okay amazing clarity and it took lincoln a long time because he understood
00:38:07.700 what mcclellan had done to actually organize an instrument that could bring success in the field
00:38:15.740 but that he individually could not be the guy that that used that instrument to destroy the enemy
00:38:23.580 Is that Pete Hexeth in the exact same situation?
00:38:27.600 I completely understand where you're coming from.
00:38:29.680 And, you know, I fought in those sham forever wars in Central Command, and I'm really sick and tired of all the attention that we have on Iran, on the Middle East at large.
00:38:38.400 I'd rather pivot to our real national security strategy, which President Trump and Bridge Colby have outlined.
00:38:44.200 We need to have a hard and fast pivot to the Pacific theater.
00:38:48.380 I mean, if you look at the real long-term national security threats, it's going to be China. 0.98
00:38:53.020 Hang on. I totally agree. We've argued for that, the China, and I don't know if Bridges is as aggressive as we are, but also hemispheric defense. 1.00
00:38:59.900 President Trump started some monumental moves, but you ain't pivoting.
00:39:04.100 You're not going to pivot until we actually come to some agreement and sort this mess out, or do you disagree?
00:39:10.200 I mean, that's why I think we need clarity on the Persian war and exactly, and hey, it's not just being, oh, Israel's coming. 0.88
00:39:17.520 I am not a fan of our relationship with Qatar. 0.52
00:39:20.740 I'm not a fan of our relationship with the Saudis. 0.99
00:39:22.700 I think all this thing is very fuzzy. 0.99
00:39:24.780 And I think we need amazing clarity if we are to finally pivot.
00:39:29.100 Look, as I say, the three biggest institutions in this town are the Federal Reserve, the Central Intelligence Agency, and CENTCOM.
00:39:36.240 You know this.
00:39:37.660 You were there.
00:39:38.220 There's gravitational force on CENTCOM.
00:39:40.560 Obama, for eight years, tried to pivot to Asia.
00:39:42.880 What did he get?
00:39:43.480 one Marine Brigade forward deployed to Darwin, Australia. President Trump has tried to pivot
00:39:50.300 to Asia and for hemispheric defense. Mark, are you happy where we are in both of those programs,
00:39:57.400 sir? No, not at all. We've lost our focus and we've gone back into central command like you
00:40:03.380 and I have talked about. We do need to close out what's going on in Iran. Everybody understands 1.00
00:40:08.140 that. The politicians in Washington are obviously more focused on their political future, but
00:40:13.080 we as Americans who are paying the price, like here in Iowa, for gas and for inflation.
00:40:18.540 We want there to be closure. We want to move forward. But as we look at 2028 and beyond,
00:40:24.160 though, we have to have a serious foreign policy debate. I think we're going to have that here in
00:40:28.120 Iowa, in New Hampshire, about what does our long-term national security strategy look like.
00:40:33.240 And the reason why I'm talking about this and defending the culture at the Pentagon
00:40:37.040 is because we need to have
00:40:39.220 a strong and capable military
00:40:41.380 regardless of what theater we go
00:40:43.360 into. Pete's been able to change
00:40:45.280 that. And we go back to the impeachment.
00:40:47.480 We have to fight vigorously against
00:40:49.260 all these impeachments. I want to go
00:40:50.840 to the impeachment because
00:40:52.500 whatever the responsibilities
00:40:55.480 for Pete is, you know, Pete
00:40:57.220 is a tough guy and a smart guy. They'll figure
00:40:59.280 that out. What we have
00:41:01.380 to stop, I believe, immediately
00:41:03.600 and I'd like your thoughts on that
00:41:05.400 is them coming after the Bobby Kennedys and the Pete Hexas because they're in those billets.
00:41:11.480 And what they want to do is start a fire that leads all the way up to President Trump.
00:41:15.580 So how would you start? How would you stop that?
00:41:18.420 How would you actually stop the impeachment process of Bobby and Pete and others that they're going to come for?
00:41:24.940 Absolutely. We have to fight vigorously.
00:41:27.180 And we saw this early on in the second Trump administration when he started nominating these people like RFK Jr.,
00:41:34.180 Jr., Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard. We had to fight relentlessly for all of those people
00:41:40.200 because we can't allow there to be any blood in the water. So that's why Veteran Action is
00:41:44.720 vigorously defending Pete Hegseth. This is a test run and they're going to be able to see how
00:41:49.940 effective this is. And yes, they want to go after President Trump, but they'll only do so if we give
00:41:55.520 them that leeway. And right now, Democrats are using people like Thomas Massey and Tom Tillis
00:42:01.620 in the Senate to really drive this impeachment.
00:42:04.040 So we're watching every single congressional Republican
00:42:07.560 on this resolution that's supposed to be introduced
00:42:10.300 and voted on in the lame duck session.
00:42:12.920 Veteran action is going to hold you accountable.
00:42:15.520 And if you ever hope to have a political future
00:42:17.420 in the Republican Party,
00:42:18.960 you better vote that resolution down.
00:42:20.960 It's bigger than Pete Hegseth.
00:42:22.580 It's bigger than Donald Trump.
00:42:24.300 We solved this with lawfare.
00:42:25.940 We have to put an end to it and we have to fight.
00:42:29.680 Mark, hang on.
00:42:30.440 I want to hold you through the break because I want to go back through this what you want signed
00:42:33.960 because this veterans situation has got to get sorted out.
00:42:37.780 And I think people are going to play all kind of games in this lame duck.
00:42:42.400 Mark Lucas from Veterans Actions with us.
00:42:46.420 Reed, what do we got here?
00:42:48.880 My Patriot Supply.
00:42:50.280 So I did such a good read last time that we sold out of the winner bundle.
00:42:54.080 Oh, you don't take the British government and all that?
00:42:56.420 God, you're just going to say I'm a great saleswoman.
00:42:58.580 But if you go to preparewithbannon.com or call 866-513-5516, sorry, it's 866-229-0927.
00:43:10.180 You get a bunch of the best stuff in the industry.
00:43:13.020 Go check it out.
00:43:13.920 The winner prep bundle we sold out of, but there are a bunch of great stuff on their
00:43:18.200 website.
00:43:18.720 And talk to the consultants over there.
00:43:21.340 By the way, you gave the tax.
00:43:23.140 Yeah, sorry.
00:43:23.840 And once again, it's 866-229.
00:43:25.260 If you're 65 or already on Medicare, listen up, folks, and grab a pen, maybe even a number two
00:43:33.360 pencil. Call 845-WAR-ROOM. That's 845-WAR-ROOM. Call it right now. I'm serious. Call it.
00:43:41.580 Now, here's why. The insurance companies and their lackeys in the Washington swamp have built a
00:43:47.080 Medicare system designed to confuse you and rip you off. Rising premiums, denied claims,
00:43:53.960 fine print nobody but a lobbyist understands. Millions of American seniors are paying too much
00:43:59.740 and getting too little. And worst of all, most don't even know it. Hey, that could be you.
00:44:06.020 That's why if you're already on Medicare or will be soon, you need to talk to our friends at
00:44:11.660 Chapter. They have a team of advisors trained to serve American seniors, not the insurance companies.
00:44:17.000 In under 20 minutes, they can find you the best plan for your needs at the lowest cost. Why?
00:44:23.960 They're a data company. They have all the data on every plan. It's totally free. There's no
00:44:30.120 pressure, no BS, just straightforward, honest help from fellow patriots. So don't wait. Call
00:44:36.180 845-WAR-ROOM right now. That's 845-WAR-ROOM. Tell them Bannon sent you. Now listen, in the first
00:44:43.180 couple of days of the launch of this company with the Warren Posse, Posse members saved tens and up
00:44:49.140 to hundreds of thousands collectively of dollars in these fees.
00:44:53.060 Go check it out today.
00:44:54.100 That's chapter.
00:44:55.300 Call 845-WAR-ROOM.
00:44:57.680 Do it today.
00:44:59.000 War Room.
00:44:59.940 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:45:04.880 Birchgold.com.
00:45:06.160 Talk to, take in front of techs,
00:45:07.520 BANNBANNON, 989898.
00:45:10.120 Get to fill the Patreon team.
00:45:12.160 NASDAQ down over 4% on the tech stocks.
00:45:15.160 Guys are bailing given kind of the election results
00:45:17.500 where big tech and the oligarchs got wiped out everywhere.
00:45:21.360 Maybe we'll see a change of attitude.
00:45:22.760 Of course, we saw the NVIDIA announcement.
00:45:24.980 Anyway, people are bailing on that.
00:45:27.060 We don't make forecasts or opinions on the stock market.
00:45:31.300 But Jim Cramer, I'm sure, will be here later in the day to buy the dip.
00:45:36.020 So make sure you check it out.
00:45:37.160 Talk to Philip Patrick and the team.
00:45:38.340 You heard him yesterday.
00:45:39.680 We're going into a real time of uncertainty,
00:45:42.800 particularly with these, you know, they're not socialist. 0.86
00:45:47.260 They're Bolsheviks, with the Bolsheviks taking over the reins of power. 0.52
00:45:51.320 Does that concern you, Mark Lucas, that we've got the Bolsheviks coming in 0.65
00:45:55.560 that literally want to put all the DEI back in? 0.83
00:45:57.700 I mean, everything Pete did to sort the military out,
00:46:00.800 they want to do away with immediately.
00:46:02.620 That's why they want to impeach him.
00:46:04.500 But what they want to do is change the culture of the military
00:46:07.920 back to the freak show they had it during their reign of terror, sir.
00:46:13.720 Is that your concern?
00:46:15.860 Absolutely.
00:46:16.260 And they want to exert total control over all of our service members.
00:46:20.460 And that COVID-19 vaccine mandate was a real test to see who is willing to stand up for
00:46:26.300 what they believe in, which I believe was an unlawful order.
00:46:28.980 So they want to bring those guys back in.
00:46:30.800 They want to bring in DEI woke and they want to be able to have a military force that looks
00:46:36.260 more like the Democrat Party and less like people who salute the flag, love this country
00:46:40.640 and are willing to defend America.
00:46:41.880 this um you're you're as concerned about this lame duck session as we are here at the war room
00:46:49.440 you have a particular interest since you're one of the leaders of the veterans movement and what's
00:46:53.400 going to happen to veterans i want you to go back take another minute explain exactly what you guys
00:46:57.700 have why you're concerned about it and where people go to assist you in taking action if they
00:47:03.200 are so moved sir well veteran action we don't take a day off after election day it's actually
00:47:09.980 right when we get to work. So we issued a lame duck agenda where we need to pass the Take Care
00:47:15.380 of America's Veterans Act. We need to help confirm Hong Kao as a Navy secretary, and we need to have
00:47:20.660 impeachment defense. A lot of Republicans promised veterans that they would pass TACAVA or the Take
00:47:26.320 Care of America's Veterans Act after the election. And we're going to make sure that they do that,
00:47:31.020 hold their feet to the fire. I know a lot of people are interested in leadership elections.
00:47:35.040 Well, we have veterans dying every single day because they don't have access to health care.
00:47:39.980 and I polled this bill with Mark Mitchell, who was one of the most accurate pollsters in this last
00:47:45.600 cycle, we see that the Veterans Access Act has got 89% approval, bipartisan, only 6% people
00:47:53.940 oppose that. And that's one of the key bills in the Take Care of America's Veterans Act.
00:47:57.980 We also looked at likely midterm voters, and they were six to one times more likely
00:48:03.760 to vote for somebody who supported the Take Care of America's Veterans Act. So
00:48:07.740 not only do our veterans deserve better access to quality health care, it's also politically
00:48:13.960 expedient for people to support this. And unfortunately, we had to fight against Doug
00:48:18.220 Collins, allow Republicans in the House want to go back and campaign. So we didn't get done before
00:48:23.580 the election, but we have to get this done during the lame duck session. Mark, last thing, you're
00:48:30.180 from Iowa. Give me a minute on the situation in Iowa and what we need to do to immediately start
00:48:36.040 to turn things around there because Iowa is the heartland of this country and is a great
00:48:42.700 forecaster of things to come. What do we need to do? I like to remind people that Iowa is
00:48:49.980 historically a battleground state. It's historically been purple. In 2000, they voted for Gore. In 2004,
00:48:57.320 we went for Bush. Two cycles in a row went for Obama. And then two cycles in a row went for Trump.
00:49:02.740 So this is really a battleground state and we have to get back to the fundamentals. We have to get back to populism. President Trump turned Iowa red because he was able to bring people to the ballot box that traditionally didn't show up. A lot of those union employees along the Mississippi River. We've got to go back and talk about lowering gas tax or lowering the gas, the price of gas. We have to look at lowering inflation. We have to look at no longer going to war and focusing on America first.
00:49:32.120 That's why Iowa turned red, and we can return there in 2028 if we get back to the fundamentals.
00:49:37.560 We didn't have a candidate problem.
00:49:39.220 We had candidates who have won historically really tough races.
00:49:43.160 Iowa was just swept up in this blue tsunami because we kind of took a detour. 0.84
00:49:47.440 We focused less on America first, more on Iran, but we can course correct. 0.97
00:49:52.380 I believe that Iowa could go back to red in 2028, but it's going to take a major investment in time of an effort. 0.91
00:49:58.380 It's not going to happen overnight.
00:49:59.460 Mark Lucas, thank you. Appreciate you. I want everybody to go to see your site today and
00:50:05.220 drill down on these veteran issues. Thank you, sir. May God bless America who's going to take
00:50:11.640 us out. Mo Bannon, what do you got for us? Well, I agree with Mark that we need to get the Take
00:50:16.100 Care of America's Veterans Act cast. It's a bipartisan issue. It shouldn't matter what side
00:50:20.900 of the aisle you're on taking care of America's veterans. They risked their lives for this
00:50:24.900 country we as american citizens should take care of our veterans for what they did for us and i
00:50:30.940 want to correct i gave the wrong number for my patriot supply and yes i am a good saleswoman so
00:50:37.640 that's why they sold out but also given what's happening across the world so go to prepare
00:50:42.820 with bannon.com or call 866-229-0927 go check them out we sold out of the winter prep bundle
00:50:52.000 but they have a lot of great things to offer us.
00:50:55.940 Do we have anything else?
00:50:57.180 Any other housekeeping?
00:50:58.360 Is that it for the day?
00:51:00.120 Good job.
00:51:00.820 You're going to, I've got to get you in by Zoom then,
00:51:03.660 keeping on the straight and narrow.
00:51:05.300 Just breaking news,
00:51:07.000 Harmeet Dillon has resigned over the Justice Department,
00:51:10.200 Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. 0.99
00:51:12.480 A lot of issues about, was she on top of voter fraud? 0.96
00:51:16.060 As much as we need to,
00:51:17.940 I know there are a ton of people out there,
00:51:19.580 the Tina Peters of the world, the Cleta Mitchells.
00:51:22.000 Still massive problems with the entire system.
00:51:24.580 Okay, we're going to be back.
00:51:26.600 Natalie Winters, who called it the other day about the Select Committee on Investigations
00:51:31.580 and their Judicial Committee under Jamie Raskin, she nailed it.
00:51:35.520 She's going to be back tonight.
00:51:36.520 We're going to drill down on exactly what is going on, particularly with these not-for-profit
00:51:42.700 groups that are in back of much of this.
00:51:45.600 And God knows why Treasury has not pulled their tax-exempt status.
00:51:49.900 We'll talk all about that tonight.
00:51:51.080 We'll see you back here.
00:51:52.220 Charlie Kirk show's next all the way through the lineup.
00:51:54.900 We're back at five o'clock season.
00:52:21.080 May God bless America
00:52:27.740 And bring us forward to the day
00:52:30.980 When every tear is wiped away
00:52:34.260 But until this perfect day
00:52:38.160 We should weep for our country
00:52:40.900 Seek God on his behalf
00:52:43.820 We may not have made a golden calf
00:52:47.760 But our idols have been cleared
00:52:50.020 And it ends here
