Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 684： Fire In LA Wakes People Up To The California Way; Rescuing Our Republic

00:00:00.000 In the middle of Southern California's most catastrophic fire disaster, the ongoing question

00:00:09.820 of how and why hydrants around Los Angeles are running dry.

00:00:14.780 Firefighters already stretched so thin are clearly frustrated.

00:00:19.580 This hydrant has no water.

00:00:22.040 What should the water pressure be right now, ideally?

00:00:24.640 I mean, you want 50 to 80 is your ideal hydrant pressure.

00:00:27.680 And what have you got?

00:00:28.360 I'm bouncing between zero, 50.

00:00:31.280 It's not a consistent pressure.

00:00:33.640 I think before I say anything else, it's important to say that multiple things can be true at

00:00:39.060 the same time here.

00:00:40.280 And I say that because this issue is becoming a bit politicized.

00:00:43.980 Officials are saying right now, Chris, that there is arguably no system that could have

00:00:48.320 been created that could have provided enough water to enough crews as they fought these

00:00:52.920 fires simultaneously Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, because they had reservoirs that were drained

00:00:59.700 simply because this is arguably a once in a lifetime event.

00:01:03.620 At least that's how they're portraying it.

00:01:05.420 That said, this system certainly deserves a closer look.

00:01:09.300 I spoke to firefighters here in Altadena today that have been fighting the Eaton Fire.

00:01:14.360 And they say in the days since, removed from that initial intense firefight, that first

00:01:19.300 24 hours, they say they still don't have enough water pressure here.

00:01:22.500 And that's now three, maybe four days later, Chris.

00:01:25.580 So that is the reality.

00:01:26.920 That is not politics talking.

00:01:29.400 And that's why I think there is so much frustration, particularly from homeowners that we've heard

00:01:34.840 who know that there was a hydrant on their street, if not in front of their house, that

00:01:39.300 didn't perform when it needed to.

00:01:41.540 Of the Palisades, when you talk about water issues, one of the other bits of news that's

00:01:47.180 been reported by the LA Times is the reservoir here in the Palisades.

00:01:51.720 It was empty at the time of the fires that were going through maintenance of that reservoir.

00:01:56.920 And that what it would have helped with if that reservoir was full is not necessary access

00:02:01.560 to that water, but the water pressure in the system here in the Pacific Palisades, that

00:02:07.500 once all these taps got turned on, the fire crews started trying to put out these fires,

00:02:12.400 the pressure of having the water in the reservoir, and forgive me, I'm not an engineer on this.

00:02:17.760 I might get some of the details wrong, but the pressure would have been better able to

00:02:22.320 sustain itself.

00:02:23.020 That being said, the LA Times is also reporting that officials or reporting that experts said

00:02:28.700 that it probably wouldn't have made that big of a difference in totality, that this fire

00:02:33.640 was just an exceptional, exceptionally powerful fire, and that the winds were really helping

00:02:41.500 it along, that there is no amount of fire.

00:02:44.020 There were no fire crews that could have feasibly gotten this thing under control, given the

00:02:51.580 conditions.

00:02:52.900 And I think that's just a hard reality for folks to face.

00:02:56.000 And they're going to want to have some more concrete answers.

00:02:58.960 They're going to want to have somebody to blame for all of this.

00:03:01.920 And they're going to ask very difficult and fair questions.

00:03:04.360 And they already are, of the Los Angeles city government, about the response, whether they

00:03:09.640 were prepared, whether there was water, whether the municipal system needs to be upgraded and

00:03:15.920 bolstered, given the world we now live in, with climate change and these fires burning faster

00:03:20.620 and hotter.

00:03:22.020 And, you know, there used to be a fire season here in LA, but they're in California.

00:03:26.300 But it's all year now.

00:03:27.540 The Times is reporting the reservoir up in the hills, up here, the one that serves the

00:03:32.920 Palisades was empty, was it?

00:03:35.220 It was.

00:03:36.000 Why?

00:03:38.520 I'm not a hydraulics expert, but our firefighters were pumping millions of gallons of water.

00:03:46.900 The system's designed to be able to handle so much water.

00:03:51.140 And even for brush fires, it was set up to handle a brush fire.

00:03:55.500 But this was the brush fire of fire.

00:04:00.340 But it was empty before the brush fire started.

00:04:02.600 Well, what happens is at the beginning of the, I'm sorry, at night, this is a gravity-fed

00:04:09.080 system.

00:04:09.960 At night, there's tanks that sit above this community, and they fill up with water.

00:04:15.100 And as the day progresses, the tank is feeding the pressure into this neighborhood.

00:04:19.980 And so folks shower up, shave, water their community, their gardens, et cetera.

00:04:27.740 And they use water.

00:04:30.280 In addition to people with their garden hoses wetting up their roofs, wetting up their homes,

00:04:37.060 trying to make them more resistant to the fire.

00:04:40.600 The firefighters were in here.

00:04:41.860 We had a lot of fire companies in here, and they're all drawing water at the same time.

00:04:47.500 If it was full, would that have changed?

00:04:49.460 No.

00:04:49.780 Why?

00:04:50.380 No.

00:04:50.580 The capacity, the amount of pressure, the amount of water that was flowing, was way

00:04:57.600 beyond the capability of the system.

00:05:00.260 I ask you, we've got to deal with this misinformation.

00:05:03.880 There were hurricane force winds of mis- and disinformation lives.

00:05:07.660 People want to divide this country.

00:05:09.740 And we're going to have to address that as well.

00:05:13.400 And it breaks my heart, as people are suffering and struggling, that we're up against those

00:05:19.120 hurricane forces as well.

00:05:21.840 And that's just a point of personal privilege that I share that with you, because it infects

00:05:26.480 real people that are out there, people I meet every single day, people the mayor has been

00:05:30.960 meeting with.

00:05:32.040 And they're having conversations that are not the typical conversations you'd have at this

00:05:37.000 time.

00:05:37.240 And you wonder where this stuff comes from.

00:05:39.780 And it's very damaging as well.

00:05:41.560 But we're here to get the job done.

00:05:44.040 Did the city of Los Angeles fail you and your department and our city?

00:05:47.520 It's my job to stand up as a chief and exactly say, justifiably, what the fire department needs

00:05:55.160 to operate to meet the demands of the community.

00:05:57.980 Did they fail you?

00:05:58.840 That is our job.

00:06:00.080 And I tell you, that's why I'm here.

00:06:01.460 So let's get us what we need so our firefighters can do their jobs.

00:06:04.600 Did they fail you?

00:06:06.380 Yes.

00:06:07.240 Okay, welcome to the second hour of the War Room.

00:06:12.260 It's Friday, 10 January in the year of the Lord, 2025.

00:06:15.500 Second hour of the late afternoon, early evening show.

00:06:18.840 The event that we're all planning for and we're going to start doing our critical path in

00:06:25.780 the run-up to in the next 10 days, the historic inauguration of President Trump on the 20th

00:06:33.980 at high noon.

00:06:34.880 As everybody in the war room posse and all the cadres, we understand that's the initiation

00:06:40.380 of action where President Trump's actually in control, although he's been kind of in control

00:06:46.120 since Election Day because with all international leaders, everybody, business leaders, I mean,

00:06:51.100 I've never seen a pivot like this in my entire life.

00:06:54.440 And who else sees it is Mike Allen and Jim Vanderhay over at Axios, who are the two most, you know,

00:07:01.700 the guys are looking for those trends so they can talk to their corporate clients about it.

00:07:05.180 They just had this piece yesterday that I put up on Getter, if you want to go find it,

00:07:09.280 called, I refer to it as Full Spectrum Dominance.

00:07:12.640 Actually, Mike Allen later saw it up on Getter and, you know, commented that that was a better

00:07:18.240 title than they had.

00:07:20.260 So we're hurtling towards that, but there is a hinge moment, a major pivot.

00:07:26.560 At AmFest, I can't tell you how many great people came up and how many people came into AmFest.

00:07:32.980 You know, we sold the war room posse, thousands and thousands of war room posse members were

00:07:38.160 there, you guys for the live shows, everything at AmFest.

00:07:41.680 And a good portion of those came from California.

00:07:44.380 And people were coming, Steve, we've got to have a meeting.

00:07:46.220 You know, you take these meetings afterwards, you've got a meeting.

00:07:48.420 We have to turn, we have to turn California red.

00:07:53.640 And having lived in California, one as a naval officer, and then later with Mo's mom,

00:07:59.940 we moved back there from New York after I'd finished Harvard and worked at Goldman Sachs.

00:08:04.920 We went out there to basically work for Goldman Sachs and start my own firm.

00:08:08.900 Mo was, I think, went out there at like three months old.

00:08:11.940 So she's really a California girl.

00:08:14.920 So we know and love the state very much.

00:08:16.980 And I said, look, it's too far gone.

00:08:19.060 The apparatus there is too dug in.

00:08:20.860 It's too far gone.

00:08:22.200 Yes, I realize we're closing it.

00:08:23.660 Trump's making a huge thing.

00:08:24.580 But with all these other opportunities, you have to kind of make decisions about opportunity costs, where you spend your time.

00:08:30.020 This event is, obviously, it's biblical.

00:08:36.360 But now, because you have to realize, and that's why Katie Turr is so important to watch her.

00:08:43.800 If you've been following Katie, they had, yesterday, I think she's from the Alphabet Avenues in Palisades, Pacific Palisades.

00:08:49.760 The Pacific Palisades is this quaint little old village with homes, basically kind of classic, you know, California homes, kind of pre-World War II, post-World War II.

00:09:00.860 Ronald Reagan and Nancy used to live there.

00:09:02.660 It's not ostentatious.

00:09:04.400 It's not Beverly Hills with the big mansions, or it's not some of the other places in L.A.'s, Homeby Hills or, you know, certain areas of Brentwood.

00:09:12.500 This is a very low-key place, but with tons of celebrities, but mainly celebrities who are on the lower-key side of things, but super progressive, super progressive.

00:09:23.780 And, you know, kind of a mini railhead out there of, you know, the Rachel Maddow set and the Know-It-All set and everything.

00:09:31.720 And that's why they had a thing of Katie Turr interviewed a guy who had been her next-door neighbor.

00:09:38.360 They've been one of their playmates on the Alphabet Streets, and Pacific Palisades is gone.

00:09:45.240 It looks like it's worse than Dresden in 1945. 0.93

00:09:49.460 It looks like the firebombing of Kyoto or Tokyo, the worst bombing you ever did, low-altitude napalm, Curtis LeMay and the team, right?

00:10:01.500 Worse than, quite frankly, even the nuclear weapon, the firebombing of Tokyo, the firebombing of Kyoto.

00:10:05.900 That's what Palisades looks like.

00:10:08.360 And you said, they go, how could that possibly happen?

00:10:10.160 Well, I kept asking this because we were watching the coverage all night.

00:10:13.480 I said, you know, you don't see a lot of firemen.

00:10:15.840 And when you see firemen, you don't see a lot of water.

00:10:17.920 What's happening?

00:10:18.400 I realize they're going house to house, but, man, you've got to put up some kind of effort, and these firemen are incredibly brave.

00:10:23.780 It's about deployments.

00:10:24.860 Now, Gavin Newsom, for all his happy talk, is cornered.

00:10:28.680 He just, as we came on here, he's announced he's going to now have a formal investigation into the reservoir and the fire hydrants.

00:10:39.960 Now, it's all gravity.

00:10:41.300 And this is the woman the other night.

00:10:42.480 Remember, on this show, I said, this doesn't make sense.

00:10:44.680 They had these tanks of a million gallons each, but something feeds into the tanks.

00:10:48.980 She's just giving the time.

00:10:50.200 Very official.

00:10:51.420 The one gallon ran out here.

00:10:52.860 The gallon ran out there.

00:10:53.940 The other million gallons ran out there.

00:10:55.220 And it's just like that answers the question.

00:10:56.720 Lady, that doesn't answer anything.

00:10:58.980 Thank you.

00:10:59.460 I needed that.

00:11:00.100 I needed that thing in the middle.

00:11:01.900 I wasn't pepped up enough.

00:11:07.020 I said, the million, you know, for the tanks, the million here, the million there, the three tanks that ran out.

00:11:12.600 Lady, you're burying the lead. 1.00

00:11:15.740 The water that came, where the water come to fill the tanks, and why weren't they continuously filled as water went out?

00:11:22.880 And she's making $750,000 a year, and now she's being crushed on social media. 1.00

00:11:26.360 She is a moron. 0.99

00:11:28.340 But there had to be something else I didn't know because I don't know the water system of Pacific Palisades or L.A. 1.00

00:11:35.640 Maybe I should.

00:11:36.520 I'm a big fan of Chinatown.

00:11:38.200 That's all about water.

00:11:39.200 Pasovic played that the other day on the Pasovic show.

00:11:41.840 And now we finally know it.

00:11:42.940 It's a reservoir up at the top that has 117 million gallons.

00:11:49.820 Yo, that gravity feeds down. 0.99

00:11:52.400 I don't know the exact interconnections, but that was empty for cosmetic changes, supposedly, to some roof.

00:11:59.360 And now Newsom's been backed in the corner.

00:12:01.640 Here's the point.

00:12:02.800 As the war room posse continues to dig and looking for receipts, all kind of things are popping up all the time.

00:12:08.660 Newsom's being backed into a corner.

00:12:10.160 And Katie Turr right there, you're seeing progressive America.

00:12:15.140 It's totally been destroyed.

00:12:16.620 Their lives have been destroyed.

00:12:17.760 She's kept going on.

00:12:19.060 We had to cut away from it.

00:12:20.080 But she talks about the families and you go to the schools and there's no school and Christ Church.

00:12:25.540 And I knew one of my business partner's wives was a teacher at Christ Church.

00:12:29.480 It's all gone.

00:12:31.060 All the schools are gone.

00:12:32.120 The grocery stores are gone.

00:12:33.320 The little village library's gone.

00:12:34.960 It's all gone.

00:12:35.760 The houses are gone.

00:12:36.680 Katie Turr goes back to the Alphabet streets where she was raised as a little child and has all these relationships and friends.

00:12:43.080 And now half the friends have taken over the houses.

00:12:45.180 They all live there.

00:12:45.860 Mo's got, I think, five or six of her friends from prep school down the street.

00:12:49.700 Home's gone.

00:12:50.360 And as that sinks in that it's gone, and how do you have it?

00:12:55.080 This is what progressive politics and political correctness all gets you.

00:12:59.380 Right there, it gets you.

00:13:01.280 And now they're going to demand accountability.

00:13:03.560 And now when they're forced to demand accountability, you're going to see a moment in time, a moment in time where people can have their own awakening.

00:13:13.140 Now, you have to be empathetic about this.

00:13:15.220 They're traumatized.

00:13:16.140 I, I, I, I, it's horrible to think, but you're going to have suicides.

00:13:21.660 Their entire life of that village, which has this tremendous kind of social life, is gone, and it's never coming back.

00:13:30.920 It'll never be what it was.

00:13:32.660 And people are just dawning to them.

00:13:33.900 I woke up in the morning.

00:13:34.860 It was a beautiful day.

00:13:35.680 And, yes, the wind was high.

00:13:36.760 And then 48 hours later, it's all gone.

00:13:40.620 And they're not going to ask unfair questions.

00:13:42.720 They're going to say, how did this happen?

00:13:44.260 It's just not a fire did it.

00:13:46.740 It's a fire did it, and there was no preparation.

00:13:49.120 And it turns out things weren't there.

00:13:50.500 There's no water in the hydrants.

00:13:51.900 And Bass and the mayor and these people just blow you off.

00:13:55.540 Finally, the fire chief, the critically, you know, correct lesbian fire chief, says, 0.91

00:14:01.620 he goes, yeah, the city failed us.

00:14:02.900 You're going to see the buck passing.

00:14:04.580 And Gavin Newsom, to save his political career, is finally coming out and saying,

00:14:08.500 President Trump's hammering this guy.

00:14:10.840 But he's not hammering him because he wants to hammer somebody.

00:14:14.460 He's hammering the guy for a reason.

00:14:16.540 What are the answers?

00:14:18.280 Why was there no water?

00:14:19.560 What happened to the hydrants?

00:14:21.020 You know, people pay these taxes.

00:14:23.380 They live in there thinking, as we said, that social structure's underneath you.

00:14:27.600 In progressive left, it's not.

00:14:30.420 It's not.

00:14:31.780 It's not there for you.

00:14:33.140 It's to get in your face. 0.99

00:14:34.480 Oh, you're a bad person. 1.00

00:14:35.640 You're evil. 1.00

00:14:36.380 You have privilege. 0.99

00:14:38.400 Privilege this.

00:14:41.020 It's gone.

00:14:44.120 As those people go through the trauma, and it is traumatizing, you're going to have psychological

00:14:50.620 problems coming out of this.

00:14:51.880 You're going to have the problems with children.

00:14:54.180 Just are.

00:14:54.840 You're going to have suicides coming out of this.

00:14:56.320 You're going to have bankruptcies coming out of this.

00:14:57.620 Remember, the whole thing is that they don't even pay the people who can't get insurance

00:15:01.060 anymore.

00:15:01.620 And the fund's going to go bankrupt.

00:15:03.100 They're going to look for a bailout.

00:15:04.800 This is going to be a national debate.

00:15:06.900 But the people in California have it within themselves to make these changes.

00:15:10.920 And you don't need the war room for this.

00:15:13.120 You don't need the war room posse for this.

00:15:14.700 You need yourselves for this.

00:15:15.840 You've got to dig and get the answers of how this happened and who is responsible.

00:15:22.500 And once you get those answers, you'll take action.

00:15:25.480 I think like we've had it in the pandemic.

00:15:27.700 How many former liberals do we have, progressives do we have since the pandemic, are coming to

00:15:32.260 our side?

00:15:34.200 How many moms were not with us when the pandemic started that kind of woke as they saw what

00:15:41.820 the kids are being taught, and the public health officials become like the brown shirts? 0.69

00:15:47.740 How many about the financial situation?

00:15:49.560 Over and over again, every issue comes up.

00:15:51.420 More people are coming to our side and say, well, hang over a second.

00:15:53.740 I can think this through.

00:15:54.780 That is what's going to happen in California.

00:15:57.860 This is a major event.

00:15:59.540 It's a major event.

00:16:01.140 And we all have to come together to think this thing through.

00:16:04.340 This is what happens when you have ossified one-party rule, dictatorial rule.

00:16:08.460 You know what you end up with?

00:16:10.040 You end up with Bass as mayor.

00:16:12.620 You end up with those fire chiefs.

00:16:15.360 You end up with Gavin Newsom.

00:16:17.620 And Gavin Newsom all set to run his presidential campaign.

00:16:20.120 Remember, he's going to show you the California way.

00:16:22.500 It's going to be MAGA versus Newsom, 28.

00:16:25.700 That's what he thinks, right?

00:16:27.680 The Trump program, the Trump economic nationalism, the Trump America first foreign policy, the

00:16:34.700 Trump sovereignty, right, of our country so that illegal aliens have to go home versus 0.87

00:16:40.020 the California way.

00:16:41.100 Well, you're seeing the California way right there.

00:16:43.600 And there's so much more that's happened today with the alerts coming out, mechanical.

00:16:46.540 This thing is a mess.

00:16:47.980 And I'm telling you, I know so many people out there, they're beyond anxious right now.

00:16:52.100 They're like scared.

00:16:53.500 Like, what is going on here?

00:16:55.640 And who's in charge?

00:16:56.560 Okay, we're going to have more about this on every day.

00:17:00.660 And Natalie's going to do, you know, Natalie's home had to be evacuated.

00:17:03.340 So, her parents.

00:17:05.300 Let's play.

00:17:05.820 I want to go now the California way.

00:17:08.480 You want to talk about a despicable human being?

00:17:11.480 It's Zuckerberg. 0.97

00:17:13.680 Zuckerberg, you can take all the martial arts classes you want.

00:17:16.620 You can go UFC.

00:17:17.840 You can get Dana White.

00:17:19.080 You can be your best buddy.

00:17:20.240 Get him on the board.

00:17:21.440 You can hang out with him.

00:17:22.500 You can go to the UFC fights.

00:17:23.620 You can sit ringside.

00:17:26.820 You're another man-child. 0.77

00:17:29.280 All these. 0.74

00:17:29.740 We've had nerd rule.

00:17:32.560 We saw what nerd rule was about stealing the election. 0.80

00:17:34.960 And we saw what nerd rule was during the pandemic.

00:17:38.720 And guess what?

00:17:39.560 This country does not want nerd rule and not going back to it.

00:17:42.100 We're not going to let people like you call the shots.

00:17:43.960 You put $400 million, $450 million up to steal the election.

00:17:48.040 And I believe strongly, sir, as the vast criminal conspiracy investigation,

00:17:53.440 which has got to go back to 2020.

00:17:55.060 Yes, I know certain people don't want to hear it, but it's got to happen.

00:17:58.820 I believe that you'll be charged with crimes, sir.

00:18:01.880 I do.

00:18:02.680 Yep.

00:18:03.260 But there'll be a full investigation.

00:18:04.700 And your million dollars as a supplicant tomorrow is not going to mean anything.

00:18:08.200 Right?

00:18:08.720 It's a disgrace to give you VIP sitting at the thing. 0.74

00:18:12.360 Remember, the base hates you, despises you. 0.92

00:18:15.700 You're revolting for what you did to this country.

00:18:19.340 I want to play.

00:18:20.180 Do we have a cold open?

00:18:21.200 We can see this little worm with Joe Rogan.

00:18:23.300 Let's see him about, you know, being so overwhelmed.

00:18:25.580 And I'll come back at the end of this clip.

00:18:27.200 But it was really in the last 10 years that people started pushing for, like, ideological-based censorship.

00:18:37.560 And I think it was two main events that really triggered this.

00:18:41.220 In 2016, there was the election of President Trump, also coincided with, basically, Brexit in the EU and sort of the fragmentation of the EU.

00:18:53.340 And then, you know, in 2020, there was COVID.

00:18:57.520 And I think that those were basically these two events where, for the first time, we just faced this massive, massive institutional pressure to basically start censoring content on ideological grounds.

00:19:14.720 And I'm sorry to interrupt you, but when it first came up in 2016, did it come under the guise of the Russian collusion hoax?

00:19:23.460 Yeah, and this is the thing.

00:19:24.760 At the time, I was really sort of ill-prepared to kind of parse what was going on, right?

00:19:32.000 But it's, you know, I think part of my reflection looking back on this is I kind of think in 2016, in the aftermath, I gave too much deference to a lot of folks in the media who were basically saying,

00:19:49.100 OK, there's no way that this guy could have gotten elected except for misinformation.

00:19:52.360 People can't actually believe this stuff, right?

00:19:54.080 It has to be that there's this kind of, like, massive misinformation out there.

00:19:58.320 Some of it started with the Russia collusion stuff, but it kind of morphed into different things over time.

00:20:06.480 Well, it was he was so ideologically polarizing, right?

00:20:09.820 Like, people didn't want to believe that anybody looked at him and said, this should be our president.

00:20:15.440 Yeah.

00:20:15.680 So so I took this and just kind of assumed that everyone was acting in good faith.

00:20:22.220 And I said, OK, well, there's like there are concerns about misinformation.

00:20:25.480 We should just like when people raised other concerns in the past and we try to deal with them.

00:20:31.480 OK, yeah, people know, you know, if you ask people, no one says that they want misinformation.

00:20:35.700 So maybe there's something that we should do to to basically try to address this.

00:20:40.060 So at the beginning, it kind of seemed like, OK, we should give a little bit of deference to the government and the health authorities on how we should play this.

00:20:48.360 But when it went from, you know, two weeks to flatten the curve to, you know, in like in the beginning, it was like, OK, there aren't enough masks.

00:20:57.060 Masks aren't that important to them.

00:20:58.480 It's like, oh, no, you have to wear a mask.

00:20:59.920 And, you know, like everything was shifting around.

00:21:02.260 And I it's become very difficult to kind of follow.

00:21:06.200 And this really hit the most extreme, I'd say, during it was during the Biden administration when they were trying to roll out the vaccine program.

00:21:19.220 And I'm generally like pretty pro rolling out vaccines.

00:21:23.320 I think on balance, the vaccines are more positive than negative, but I think that while they're trying to push that program.

00:21:33.220 OK, I can't I can't take this guy anymore.

00:21:37.040 I may have to do something because I would like to sit in a deposition. 0.96

00:21:42.120 Zuckerberg, you're one of the worst people in this country. 0.95

00:21:45.360 We are not going to turn this country back over to you nerds. 0.96

00:21:49.260 Everything you said, there's kind of a lie.

00:21:50.760 And here's why I know this.

00:21:51.640 When you talk Brexit and Trump, I was there.

00:21:55.640 Nigel Farage on the morning after Brexit said if we did not have Breitbart London and Raheem Kassam and Steve Bannon with Breitbart London, there wouldn't have been a Brexit.

00:22:06.580 Because the reason I started Breitbart London was because of years before of what it would culminate in Brexit.

00:22:13.680 Why?

00:22:14.320 Because the Daily Telegraph, the conservative paper had, you know, they were they were wimps.

00:22:18.460 They were controlled opposition.

00:22:19.420 You needed a hammer in Raheem Kassam.

00:22:21.800 We had a hammer in James Dellingpole, the great James Dellingpole.

00:22:24.760 We had a hammer.

00:22:25.800 That's why I started it.

00:22:28.240 And in the 2016 campaign, this started long before that.

00:22:31.260 Everything he said right there is a lie.

00:22:32.840 That's all spin.

00:22:33.760 This started much earlier than that, back in 2015.

00:22:36.880 Remember, he got all the conservative guys together except for Breitbart because they were rising in power and we were using Facebook.

00:22:44.360 Now, we had to kind of buy ads, but we used it.

00:22:47.380 That's where later he got so much grief.

00:22:48.920 How did you let Breitbart become so powerful?

00:22:50.640 Hey, dude, we thought your system through better than you.

00:22:53.320 And then he left out one thing, you know, it's Brexit and Trump.

00:22:58.900 And, you know, I didn't think Trump should win.

00:23:00.400 I heard the authorities and it was 2020.

00:23:02.340 Excuse me, it was the pandemic in 2020.

00:23:04.480 You left out one big thing, dude.

00:23:07.520 What'd you leave out, Mark?

00:23:10.720 Rogan, if you knew the deal.

00:23:11.660 What'd you leave out, Zuckerberg?

00:23:12.980 Zuck.

00:23:13.500 What'd you leave out?

00:23:14.740 Oh, the 2020 election.

00:23:17.420 Put up the hill.

00:23:18.040 We were banned and taken down.

00:23:21.280 I remember, we built this show off of Facebook.

00:23:26.120 It was one AM radio station, our Facebook account, and then Real America's Voice picked us up back in 2019.

00:23:33.460 Facebook was essential to actually getting the message out at the time.

00:23:36.860 We were banned on the 11th day of, the 10th day of November.

00:23:46.600 Oh, let me think, 3 November.

00:23:48.080 Yeah, it was a week.

00:23:49.280 A week.

00:23:49.940 From putting out false information.

00:23:51.700 Everything we said, dude, was about the stint of that election that was stolen.

00:23:55.920 And that's why you took us down.

00:23:58.400 And that's why you tried to shut everybody up.

00:24:01.060 After you spent $450 million of your own money to defeat Trump.

00:24:08.520 Zuckerberg, we know, we've forgotten more about your acts than you even remember.

00:24:15.960 You are guilty, sir.

00:24:17.240 I think of crimes, major crimes, but certainly major civil litigation.

00:24:22.560 And now you're just going to sit there.

00:24:25.200 You think you write a million-dollar check, and you're in Mar-a-Lago, and you have a meeting.

00:24:29.040 I fought.

00:24:30.560 This is the first big fights with Jared Kushner and myself in 2017.

00:24:34.880 I didn't want this guy near the war.

00:24:37.060 They started rolling all these guys in to come in and see the president of the Oval Office.

00:24:40.040 I fought it.

00:24:41.500 They're bad people. 1.00

00:24:43.020 They're evil people. 1.00

00:24:45.460 It's nerd rule. 0.96

00:24:47.260 They're all on the spectrum.

00:24:48.640 They don't think like normal human beings.

00:24:50.060 They're not empathetic. 1.00

00:24:50.980 They're all kind of sociopaths.

00:24:53.540 They don't think about how much money they create. 0.96

00:24:55.040 They don't know how to interact.

00:24:56.640 They're all weird.

00:24:57.020 Get that blank stare.

00:24:59.280 Now he's all macho.

00:25:00.260 He's taking his kung fu.

00:25:01.440 What's he taking?

00:25:02.040 Kung fu. 0.97

00:25:03.000 And, you know, he's going to UFC fights.

00:25:05.680 He's walking in.

00:25:06.940 He's got Dana White on the board.

00:25:09.100 Doesn't change it.

00:25:10.020 Does not change it, man.

00:25:11.360 Does not change it. 0.99

00:25:12.360 You're a nerd. 1.00

00:25:13.900 You're a nerd. 0.99

00:25:14.900 You want nerd rule. 1.00

00:25:15.940 Can't happen.

00:25:24.540 Twitter broken up.

00:25:26.400 Him, Facebook, broken up.

00:25:27.880 You've got to take this power, this concentrated political power they have because they're monopolies.

00:25:34.900 Should be no monopolies.

00:25:36.800 Break it up and let entrepreneurs, let a thousand flowers bloom. 0.55

00:25:40.140 If we don't do that, these are big fights.

00:25:45.020 I understand people say, but Bannon, nobody supports your raising taxes on the thing.

00:25:50.380 You know, one of the reporters went around the house yesterday.

00:25:52.880 There weren't a lot of guys saying, yeah, we'd love that.

00:25:54.700 And there's not a lot of them going to support doing this.

00:25:57.180 I got it.

00:25:58.500 I've started a lot of projects when nobody was there.

00:26:01.700 We're going to break these guys up.

00:26:03.500 We have to bring them to the knees. 0.99

00:26:05.340 They're too powerful. 1.00

00:26:06.680 They're sociopaths. 1.00

00:26:07.980 They're liars. 1.00

00:26:10.140 They want to control this country. 0.94

00:26:11.620 And they think that working class and middle class people, they think the citizens of this 1.00

00:26:14.740 country are nothing but garbage and trash. 0.96

00:26:17.660 Or digital, just digital beings that you could just take their data and monetize it and give 0.99

00:26:22.800 a fare thee well.

00:26:25.500 This is the great fight we have in front of us, folks.

00:26:28.120 It's okay.

00:26:28.660 It's a fight I relish.

00:26:29.800 I'm down for it.

00:26:31.040 Big.

00:26:31.980 And if that's what we've got to face, wimps like that, you can hire all the lawyers in

00:26:36.620 the world, all the investment bankers in the world, all the media consultants in the world.

00:26:39.920 You hire them all.

00:26:41.360 I don't give a damn. 0.95

00:30:47.460 Caitlin Collins just came across a few minutes ago on Twitter.

00:30:51.680 President Biden says he hasn't made a final decision on preemptive blanket pardons, but

00:30:59.920 is considering it given what Trump has been saying in recent days.

00:31:52.700 It's by Tony Lyons, put out by Tony Lyons, the team at Skyhorse.

00:31:56.860 Hans, you tie together the Russian dossier.

00:31:59.680 The dossier I talked about earlier, you're talking about the Russiagate, the hoax, all

00:32:03.860 of it.

00:32:04.480 Why do you call it the Swift Boating of America, sir?

00:32:07.220 That's a really good question.

00:32:10.320 So the book's idea is to memorialize—you know, I wrote this before we knew that Trump

00:32:16.580 was going to be reelected.

00:32:17.880 Of course, now everything is much better.

00:32:19.220 But at the time, the idea was to memorialize, what do we know about the Russia hoax?

00:32:25.500 And there's over 600 footnotes, mainly to primary sources.

00:32:29.460 So for someone one day to just be able to access all that information, what really happened?

00:32:36.140 What do we know?

00:32:37.920 And so one of the things we know is what the Hillary Clinton campaign called this.

00:32:42.620 So they didn't call it, you know, Russiagate or, you know, anything like that.

00:32:46.920 What they called it was—they called it the Swift Boat Project.

00:32:49.920 So there's an email from February of 2016 within the campaign—and by the way, this

00:32:55.600 email came out through WikiLeaks—and in that email, campaign operatives are discussing

00:33:00.080 this project, the Russiagate project, the Russia collusion hoax.

00:33:03.240 And they called it the Swift Boating Project.

00:33:05.860 So that's where the name came from.

00:33:07.920 And of course, some people might say, well, you know, that ties in with John Kerry in 2004

00:33:12.080 and so on, and that's true.

00:33:13.800 But of course, you've got to remember, the Clinton people called it that, and they wouldn't

00:33:17.540 have been happy with what happened to John Kerry in 2004.

00:33:20.460 So in other words, they're admitting that the whole thing was a total smear from the beginning

00:33:25.440 in their own minds.

00:33:26.520 And anyway, that's where the name came from.

00:33:28.200 Okay, but what happened here?

00:33:34.980 What's the process of—look, I happen to think the Swift Boating of John Kerry was not

00:33:41.920 just smart, it was a way to get to the truth, right?

00:33:44.840 It was a way to get to the truth, because it was on both sides.

00:33:47.080 I actually had a company that put out the film about—it was a pro-film about him going

00:33:52.800 upriver.

00:33:53.920 However, the Swift Boating thing, I think, was absolutely appropriate, because it showed

00:33:57.060 the other side of the story.

00:33:58.240 There's two ways to tell the story, the John Kerry way.

00:34:00.600 It's the other way.

00:34:01.640 The other way, I thought, was very powerful, and I think it opened up John Kerry to a lot

00:34:05.740 of powerful criticism, and it showed something about his character that you could see on

00:34:09.380 the campaign trail.

00:34:10.800 So I thought it was very powerful.

00:34:13.100 How does that tie back directly to the Russia hoax, the dossier, all of that?

00:34:18.840 It was certainly very effective back in 2004, and Democrats would have not been very happy

00:34:26.580 with it, because he lost.

00:34:28.200 So for them to then make up this hoax—and I think the most important thing to remember

00:34:34.240 about this entire Russia collusion hoax is that it was entirely made up.

00:34:38.340 Everything was made up.

00:34:39.500 You know, normally there's like some kernel of truth, and then you build on that, and

00:34:43.180 you exaggerate, and all that.

00:34:44.340 But that's not the case here.

00:34:46.160 This hoax was 100% fabricated by the Clinton people, and well, they called it that because

00:34:51.720 they knew it was fabricated just as they thought the—never mind what we think—they thought

00:34:57.520 the Kerry thing was unfair.

00:34:59.180 So they were doing that to Trump, and in short order—so the book kind of details what happened

00:35:04.200 after that.

00:35:04.700 So that's kind of the origin of the name.

00:35:06.120 Hang on.

00:35:06.620 Hang on.

00:35:06.980 But hang on.

00:35:08.480 Hang on.

00:35:09.120 Slow down.

00:35:10.040 What do you mean it's 100% hoax?

00:35:12.080 I can sit here and show you thousands of hours of MSNBC and CNN and experts and people

00:35:19.080 with knitted brows thinking great thoughts.

00:35:21.020 I mean, tens of thousands of hours of mainstream and New York Times, Washington Post, article

00:35:27.980 after article after article, where they're sitting there talking about the details of

00:35:32.440 it and the implications of it and all these different aspects of it, and everybody's involved

00:35:36.800 with it, I spent millions of dollars of my own money defending myself in front of the

00:35:44.260 Mueller Commission, right?

00:35:45.680 And then the House Intelligence Committee, which was a shifty shift, right?

00:35:50.420 And then in the Senate Intelligence Committee, I got the receipts to show that.

00:35:54.540 So if it was a hoax, you're saying I should go—I legitimately can go back and start suing

00:35:59.180 people that this is a 100% hoax, none of it was true, that MSNBC, the Roberts family that

00:36:04.060 owns NBC, that CNN and John Malone—I guess he just recently bought it, but you're saying

00:36:08.660 he bought a big liability—if you're saying it's a 100% hoax, then don't Flynn and Bannon

00:36:15.380 and all the people rolled up in this thing that spent millions of dollars in defense of

00:36:19.080 themselves and their names, right, and actually from criminal charges, because that's what

00:36:23.160 they wanted to do, and President Trump, that we all have the basis to go back and sue and

00:36:27.840 get our money back, plus damages, sir?

00:36:32.460 Well, absolutely, and you should do that.

00:36:34.580 And what they did to you is horrific.

00:36:37.000 What they did to General Flynn is absolutely horrific.

00:36:39.100 And yes, everything was invented.

00:36:41.560 The entire thing was made up.

00:36:43.880 And I mean, the book details exactly how that worked.

00:36:47.140 So starting in February of 2016, when they came up with the project name, and then they hired

00:36:51.580 this lawyer, Mark Elias, and then he got these computer people to make up a fake data trail,

00:36:57.580 totally fake, to try and show that Trump was talking to Putin, all of it made up.

00:37:03.300 And then, of course, the part that everyone knows about, they hired this guy, Steele.

00:37:07.300 But they didn't hire him to do any research and to find out anything.

00:37:10.420 I mean, they keep saying he's this Russia expert.

00:37:12.600 He hadn't been in Russia for like 30 years or something like that.

00:37:15.320 He'd been there like in the early 90s or so, and that was it.

00:37:18.500 So they just hired him because of the label.

00:37:21.140 They could just call him like this former British spy or whatever, and then he says this.

00:37:25.760 But he didn't come up with these stories himself.

00:37:28.700 Clinton operatives told him what to write, and he just wrote it in his own words.

00:37:32.220 And then he gave them a report, and then they used those reports to feed them to the media

00:37:35.960 and, of course, to feed them into the FBI.

00:37:38.360 All of it was made up.

00:37:39.480 The way they – and Comey knew it was made up at the time.

00:37:44.300 So you had movies.

00:37:45.640 You just had Jeff Daniels on the other day.

00:37:47.920 Jeff Daniels played Comey.

00:37:49.080 He's on Ari Melbert thinking great thoughts, talking about they have a clip from him playing Comey.

00:37:53.920 Comey wrote a book.

00:37:55.180 Steele just came out with a book.

00:37:57.040 Steele just came out with a book with a name publisher saying that everything was true

00:38:01.080 and all the work he did on the investigative work.

00:38:03.100 Are you saying that that book's a lie?

00:38:05.620 The whole thing, everything.

00:38:06.780 Anyone who claims that any of this was true is lying because none of it was true.

00:38:13.820 In terms of the dossier, we can say this very specifically.

00:38:16.640 Nothing, nothing in the dossier has ever, ever checked out.

00:38:20.020 Obviously, a name of a city will check out or name a person.

00:38:24.040 Yeah, that person exists.

00:38:25.480 But everything else, like what that person did or where they went or who they talked to,

00:38:29.080 everything was entirely made up.

00:38:32.020 And there's two really important things.

00:38:33.660 Hang on.

00:38:34.100 Hang on for a second.

00:38:37.840 Are you saying when McCabe and those guys, when Crossfire Hurricane, when they went and

00:38:41.480 got the FISA warrants, they got all these warrants and did all this stuff, that they knowingly,

00:38:46.320 they knew this was all made up at the time?

00:38:48.240 Comey knew it.

00:38:48.880 McCabe knew it.

00:38:49.540 The people associated with this knew it was made up?

00:38:52.300 Exactly.

00:38:54.540 And there's two main kind of events that everyone needs to know about because they are just so

00:39:00.980 earth-shatteringly bad.

00:39:02.560 The first one is July 28, 2016.

00:39:05.320 Before all these FISAs, before all these investigations, before Crossfire Hurricane, before any of it,

00:39:11.280 they found out or they were told, by they I mean the FBI, Comey, McCabe and so on, that this

00:39:16.580 was a Clinton campaign hoax.

00:39:18.380 This whole Russia collusion narrative was a Clinton campaign hoax.

00:39:22.100 So the CIA passed along that information.

00:39:24.920 Why did they do that?

00:39:26.040 Well, they did it secretly, privately.

00:39:27.800 I think it was a CYA on their part to do that.

00:39:31.080 That's event one.

00:39:32.240 Event two, a few months later, the so-called primary subsource of Steele, the guy—so Steele

00:39:38.000 said, well, I didn't really find any of this out.

00:39:40.020 I had this other guy who gave me all this information.

00:39:43.240 Well, the FBI got to that guy, and they interviewed him, and he admitted that it was all baseless,

00:39:49.060 all of it.

00:39:49.900 So they had these two massive reasons not to do any of this.

00:39:54.460 They knew.

00:39:55.500 And this is not an incompetent, keystone cops kind of—it's none of that.

00:39:59.980 They knew. 0.80

00:40:04.060 Stunning.

00:40:04.760 How do people get to the—where do they get to this book?

00:40:07.260 You lay it all out there.

00:40:08.220 I was just testing you, trying to push back, because you've laid it out very succinctly.

00:40:12.500 Other people have taken cracks at it, but you lay it very succinctly.

00:40:15.100 And it's either one thing or the other.

00:40:17.420 Here, it's not about shades of gray or misinterpretation or people.

00:40:22.120 It's ill-intentioned.

00:40:23.400 And here's the thing.

00:40:24.140 It's ill-intentioned from the beginning.

00:40:26.240 They knew what they were doing.

00:40:28.460 This speaks to a bigger topic.

00:40:29.940 Why are they so afraid of Trump?

00:40:32.100 Why are they so afraid of Trump and this kind of gang of pirates around him, you know,

00:40:35.700 General Flynn and Steve Bannon and these others?

00:40:37.420 What are they so afraid of?

00:40:38.860 Here's what they're afraid of, because we're relentless.

00:40:42.120 And in 2024, 10 days from today, Donald John Trump is going to be—is going to take the oath of office as the 47th president of the United States,

00:40:50.620 and his team this time is much more battle-hardened, okay?

00:40:55.100 They feared Trump for a reason.

00:40:57.900 They knew he was an existential threat.

00:41:01.700 They knew that he was an armor-piercing shell, what I call a blunt force instrument that would deliver blunt force trauma to the system.

00:41:10.180 And he has.

00:41:11.600 So they did at any cost.

00:41:13.140 So when they sit there and weissman these guys to rule out, this is why it needs to be.

00:41:16.540 With this book, it's great.

00:41:17.480 But what we need is a special prosecutor that has subpoena power and panel grand jury, and all the information eventually has to be put out in front of the American people.

00:41:28.300 If more information, you put it all out in front of the American people, but you adjudicate it in an official way.

00:41:33.820 That's the only thing that's going to stop this.

00:41:36.120 And you have to do it.

00:41:37.440 We cannot just sit there and let this go.

00:41:38.880 It would be very easy for people to say, just move on, right?

00:41:41.720 And we've got other things to focus on.

00:41:43.000 You can't.

00:41:43.520 You must get to the bottom of this.

00:41:45.980 Nothing personal.

00:41:46.660 I've already spent the money.

00:41:47.600 I spent the time.

00:41:49.240 Nothing ended up happening at the end of the day.

00:41:51.040 It was brutal, right?

00:41:52.180 It was very expensive.

00:41:53.900 It angst.

00:41:54.680 You may lose a year or two of your life at the end of it, right, for all the anxiety and the pressure and all that.

00:42:00.160 But, hey, we powered through it.

00:42:02.480 President Trump powered through it.

00:42:04.640 Flynn powered through it.

00:42:06.200 The people around President Trump powered through it, okay?

00:42:10.200 And we became battle-tested and battle-hardened and better.

00:42:13.500 But the people that did this, and they did it for their own self-aggrandizement, their own control of power, that's why McCabe, Comey, Clapper, Brennan, all have to go to prison and throw away the key.

00:42:27.340 We must show this republic.

00:42:30.200 We must show people to come later that what happened in a certain time period when people challenged a corrupt and incompetent and anti-American system, they got the ultimate pushback.

00:42:43.420 And guess what?

00:42:44.380 We won, and they lost.

00:42:47.340 Hans, what's your social media?

00:42:48.700 Where do they go to your web page?

00:42:50.320 I want people to get a hold of this book.

00:42:51.820 I understand maybe there's some pricing issues.

00:42:53.400 I'm talking to Tony Lyons right now.

00:42:55.360 But this book is a seminal work.

00:42:58.060 Where do they go?

00:42:59.740 Well, just go to Amazon.

00:43:01.080 But, yeah, it's published with Tony's firm, Sky Horse Publishing.

00:43:05.660 And, yeah, I mean, I either go there, go to Sky Horse's website, or I guess Amazon is probably the easiest.

00:43:11.920 Okay, brother.

00:43:15.940 Preacher, you got a social media account?

00:43:17.780 Do you do that, or are you off the grid?

00:43:21.680 No, no.

00:43:22.600 But basically, since I started with this Russiagate, I've been on Twitter or now Excel.

00:43:27.080 It's just at my name, Hansmanke, H-A-N-S-M-A-H-N-C-K-E, just in one word, no spaces.

00:43:37.160 There you go.

00:43:37.880 Thank you, brother.

00:43:38.440 Appreciate you.

00:43:39.860 Thank you.

00:43:40.920 Great work.

00:43:42.560 Look forward to having you back on.

00:43:44.000 I want to go through this one, chapter and verse.

00:43:46.760 Total and complete hugs.

00:43:47.720 He brought up two important dates.

00:43:49.160 When they were told, because people were saying, hey, this thing's getting some momentum.

00:43:53.300 We got to shut it down because we know it's all lies.

00:43:56.800 That's the type of people you're dealing with.

00:44:00.260 So much going on.

00:44:01.220 Janet Yellen has kind of screwed up the balance sheet of the United States. 1.00

00:44:04.340 Not that we owe any money.

00:44:05.480 I don't know, like $37 trillion.

00:44:07.220 That's just the face amount.

00:44:08.780 That's just the face amount of the liability.

00:44:10.920 You got contingent liability.

00:44:11.980 You got things all over the place.

00:44:14.640 But because the way she financed it, kind of short term, facing the next Secretary of Treasury is a minimum of $7 trillion that has to be refinanced. 0.58

00:44:23.840 I don't think that includes.

00:44:24.840 I haven't done the math.

00:44:25.600 I don't think that includes the new deficits are coming.

00:44:27.660 But I think that's just what we got now.

00:44:29.220 Because I tell you, you know, I don't know, a third to a quarter has to be refinanced every year.

00:44:35.260 So I think that's $7 trillion scheduled.

00:44:37.380 What does that mean?

00:44:38.760 That means the BRICS nations still have something to complain about legitimately. 0.97

00:44:43.340 That's the decline in the purchase power of the dollar.

00:44:45.460 Now, President Trump is going to sort that out and turn it around.

00:44:48.240 But it's going to take some effort.

00:44:50.360 It's going to take putting shoulder to the wheel.

00:44:51.620 In the interim, you need to know how we got here.

00:44:54.780 That's this theory called modern monetary theory.

00:44:56.980 You got to get up to speed on it.

00:44:57.880 Go to birchgold.com slash bandit.

00:44:59.520 You get a free explanation, kind of our next installment on the end of the dollar empire.

00:45:05.300 More importantly, talk to Philip and the team.

00:45:07.020 Philip's going to be with us tomorrow.

00:45:08.240 But I want you guys to build relationships with the people over Birch Gold.

00:45:11.400 Hey, even if you don't have the money or just you're not sure to do it now, you get to know people.

00:45:16.300 They give you information.

00:45:17.480 They spend time with you.

00:45:18.860 You start to get comfortable.

00:45:20.100 They start to understand this.

00:45:21.220 Remember, the one thing about this show we try to do is give you information to make your own decisions.

00:45:26.880 You're free men and free women. 0.99

00:45:28.920 One of the blessings of liberty is to make those decisions.

00:45:31.460 But you have to do it with, you know, as close to perfect information.

00:45:34.520 We try our best to get it out there.

00:45:36.520 Then you make your decision.

00:45:37.680 So, folks at Birch Gold today, if you want to get stuff about the information about 401Ks, IRAs, all that, just take your phone and text Bannon.

00:45:47.440 That would be me, B-A-N-N-O-N, at 989898.

00:45:51.000 Do it today.

00:45:53.600 John, can we play the – I tell you what, we're going to play it on the out.

00:45:58.540 It's actually too long to play.

00:46:00.000 Maybe I'm going to play it a minute.

00:46:01.760 Let's play a little bit of it now.

00:46:03.340 The great filmmaker is with us.

00:46:07.680 Never bet against America, never bet against the American people, and never bet against Donald Trump.

00:46:25.920 USA! USA! USA!

00:46:29.000 He and We the People scored a decisive, too-big-to-rig electoral victory, against all odds.

00:46:38.280 Victory came in spite of a stacked deck, including the January 6th frame-up, multiple hoaxes, phony indictments, sham impeachments, and two assassination attempts.

00:46:50.120 Look what happened.

00:46:50.760 We the People enthusiastically fought for him, only to be shunned by family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

00:47:05.780 But we the People stood in line for hours to cheer on the man that we knew could deliver us from the disastrous policies, the censorship, and the tyranny of the left.

00:47:16.460 We cheered, and we prayed for our country, and for the health and safety of this man.

00:47:25.140 Now we shall revel in victory and celebrate the greatest comeback in American political history.

00:47:41.320 A lot of people are shurred on dough, thanks to Joe Biden.

00:47:46.460 They'll be happy to see him go, and overjoyed to welcome back President Trump.

00:47:51.000 I just have to experience this moment in history in person, just as I did many years ago as a young TV news reporter in Washington, D.C.

00:47:59.560 Yeah, back in the day, I was an eyewitness to history in the nation's capital, covering President Reagan's first inauguration in 1981.

00:48:09.400 John Sparadopoulos, News 7, the White House.

00:48:12.160 Swear.

00:48:12.660 Ronald Reagan was sworn in after winning a landslide victory over Jimmy Carter and his four-year reign of error.

00:48:19.900 Now I congratulate you, sir.

00:48:22.540 Today's challenges are different, but the recipe for success is not.

00:48:26.700 John Sparadopoulos, you've become an incredible filmmaker.

00:48:32.100 This film is a kickoff.

00:48:33.340 We're going to put a link up because we're running out of time.

00:48:36.000 By the way, I was there.

00:48:38.020 I showed up to work at the Pentagon the next day.

00:48:40.620 My brother, we went to the inauguration.

00:48:42.600 My brother really, my younger brother, partied pretty hard.

00:48:46.580 He was near Tony.

00:48:47.520 It was at Dean Martin in that crowd.

00:48:49.120 He saw that crowd that performed the night before.

00:48:51.520 That was inauguration.

00:48:52.580 The first time that he did it on the west side of the Capitol, that beautiful view, all the other times on the east side of the Capitol, including President Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, all the famous ones.

00:49:02.820 John, what are you doing here?

00:49:03.900 Where do people go?

00:49:04.960 How do they participate in your journey?

00:49:07.000 And I might say I understand why local TV news is trying to change and become more like podcasts after seeing John as the younger version of John boring the hell out of me outside the IRS or something.

00:49:20.240 So where do people go?

00:49:23.780 Is this another one like you did the truckers?

00:49:26.060 You're going to go across country?

00:49:27.880 This is the spirit of the truckers, the spirit of the people on the bridges when we went across the country.

00:49:35.460 Yes.

00:49:36.400 That's what I tried to capture in this preview piece.

00:49:40.700 And it's what I'm looking to get when we get to Washington.

00:49:44.220 So there's the rally the day before on the 19th, the inauguration on the 20th.

00:49:49.340 Me and my crews, I've got a staff of about five people.

00:49:52.800 We'll be out there talking to people.

00:49:55.000 And then looking at the news, we're looking for executive actions on border, on the bureaucracy, on energy.

00:50:01.740 I tell you what.

00:50:03.100 John, hang on.

00:50:04.620 We'll get you back on the show tomorrow morning because I want to kick this off.

00:50:07.900 We're going to kick off the week.

00:50:08.960 We're going to do a bunch of events.

00:50:10.080 We want to add them.

00:50:11.140 Where do people go in the interim?

00:50:12.660 I want to see this little film you put together.

00:50:14.500 It's about five minutes long.

00:50:15.240 It's great.

00:50:15.980 People get pumped up.

00:50:16.980 It's kind of the kickoff.

00:50:18.220 Okay.

00:50:18.820 The kickoff to the run-up of one of the most important days in American history, 20 January in the year of our Lord, 2025.

00:50:25.280 Where do I go, John?

00:50:25.840 All right.

00:50:26.260 Let's Roll America. 0.99

00:50:34.260 And if you've got a few cents to spare, I'm at GiveSendGo.com slash Let's Roll America 2025.

00:50:42.660 But we're going to be talking to the people.

00:50:47.100 It's not about politics.

00:50:48.780 It's about the people.

00:50:49.720 And then we're going to be looking for reaction to the pardons.

00:50:53.580 I hope we get some pardons that day.

00:50:55.600 And I hope we get some good executive actions.

00:50:58.040 And you'll know.

00:50:59.060 Yep.

00:50:59.500 Yep.

00:51:00.120 For me, that's number one on the to-do list.

00:51:03.540 20 January 2025 begins Days of Thunder.
