Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 900： DC Terror Attack On National Guard cont.

00:00:00.840 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann.

00:00:07.080 Widd Lyman, the Borderhawk, joins us. 0.93

00:00:10.620 Widd, first of all, put in perspective, how close would this all occur to the White House?

00:00:15.900 You're actually on the scene.

00:00:17.920 How and what proximity are we to the actual White House itself?

00:00:23.940 So this area right here is where the yellow tape starts.

00:00:27.500 You can kind of see it behind me.

00:00:28.720 And then if you go up this road about two blocks, you're going to get to the north part of the White House there.

00:00:33.500 So we're very close.

00:00:35.080 It looks like the main site is going to be sort of over my left shoulder.

00:00:39.160 That's where the main large breach of the federal officials are conducting their operation.

00:00:45.400 And that is where it's reported where it occurred.

00:00:47.340 So looking at maybe a block or two at most from Lafayette Park, just north on the side of the White House there.

00:00:53.980 So very, very close.

00:00:55.180 I mean, anything in Washington is going to be pretty close to the White House itself.

00:00:59.960 It's not a very large area, so to speak.

00:01:03.160 But we're looking at it just a few blocks away.

00:01:06.360 We have some very bad news.

00:01:08.820 Widd, I want to report, and I'll get Jack and Chris in here,

00:01:11.560 that NBC News is reporting from officials who are working this, government officials working this,

00:01:17.080 that both the National Guardsmen were shot in the head.

00:01:20.880 Do you have any other updates on that?

00:01:25.560 That's pretty consistent with some of the preliminary unconfirmed photos that we've seen.

00:01:30.360 Bandages on the head, National Guard men being in critical condition.

00:01:34.180 It also lines up with a close ambush-style attack.

00:01:38.180 You know, the assailant, you know, allegedly pulled the firearm out and opened at a very close distance.

00:01:43.620 So, you know, it sounds like he was targeting these National Guardsmen with the intent of assassination.

00:01:51.760 Chris, thanks, Widd.

00:01:53.460 Hang on.

00:01:54.080 Chris, any thoughts on that?

00:01:55.660 They're reporting now that both National Guardsmen were both shot in the head.

00:02:00.220 Any thoughts on that?

00:02:01.540 Well, first of all, I'm glad they're still in critical condition and they're not deceased from their injuries.

00:02:07.620 Second of all, if you had headshots on both of these National Guard personnel,

00:02:13.840 I would think that it makes it more of a likely targeted attack where this person may have caught them walking away,

00:02:22.260 shot them from behind, and was able to get two or three clean shots off before they reacted.

00:02:28.360 So it makes it, it lends credence to the use of the word targeted.

00:02:33.840 I would imagine, after you see the photos, I haven't seen the photos,

00:02:37.180 but you can see maybe if they were fired upon from behind,

00:02:40.480 that would be most logical versus a face-to-face attack where he drew a weapon and fired on them.

00:02:47.000 It would also, I think, wouldn't it lead you to, in a chaotic situation where your adrenaline's up,

00:02:53.800 that this guy must have not just known what he was doing, but been a pretty good shot?

00:02:58.360 Absolutely. If you're trading rounds, definitely he must have been fairly proficient with a firearm.

00:03:04.660 But again, if he caught them walking away from behind, still pretty,

00:03:09.460 he handled the firearm fairly well because of adrenaline and the situation at hand.

00:03:14.460 So either way, he was, this individual, I use the word he because I assume it's a male,

00:03:20.080 but this individual obviously knew how to handle a firearm.

00:03:25.760 Chris, also, and this is unfortunate, but the D.C. hospitals, particularly the ones in the Capitol complex around there,

00:03:35.140 know a thing or two about handling gunshot wounds.

00:03:38.120 I mean, so these two brave National Guardsmen shot in the head at relatively close range.

00:03:45.140 Your point is, hey, you're glad the reports still are there in critical condition.

00:03:49.300 But if you had to go to, if you had to be in a place, being in D.C.,

00:03:53.020 given the unfortunate high volume of crime in the city, and particularly violent crime,

00:03:58.840 you're going into emergency rooms that know what they're doing?

00:04:01.340 Absolutely. I'm sure they have, unfortunately, a lot of practice in the high trauma treatment areas,

00:04:09.040 and they get a lot of practice with gunshot wounds, unfortunately.

00:04:12.820 So, yes, those two Guardsmen were, I'm sure they're in good hands.

00:04:18.520 Jack, some of the information you were getting earlier would fall in line with knowing that

00:04:24.980 the two Guardsmen were shot at relatively close range in the head that NBC News is reporting.

00:04:30.600 Would it not, sir?

00:04:31.340 Steve, one of the first things that we heard from sources close to the White House,

00:04:38.600 the phrase point-blank range was the first thing that anyone had said to me that

00:04:43.040 basically walked up, shot in point-blank range. Some of the first images that we saw across X

00:04:48.760 showed those bandages to the side of the head, showed blood on the ground. And in which case,

00:04:55.740 you know, there's a lot of questions about what exactly the situation is, if they're in critical

00:04:59.720 condition. But, and it's unfortunate to say this, but this is what we also saw with some of those

00:05:05.720 victims in Minneapolis, the victims of, at that Catholic school, those little children of the

00:05:11.360 shooter there, many of which were also shot in the head. And then there were questions as to whether or

00:05:16.640 not they would live. Now, amazingly and miraculously, two of the little girls who had been shot in the

00:05:21.460 head were actually able to be saved in that situation. But of course, that can only occur

00:05:27.500 if there is not permanent damage to the brain, to the brainstem, the central nervous system,

00:05:32.100 like with Charlie Kirk. So a lot of questions as to what exactly the status was. But we have seen

00:05:38.660 people survive headshots. And in the recent past, medical progress has come very far. So I'm sure

00:05:46.380 everyone is going to be praying for these guardsmen right now as they're fighting for their lives.

00:05:50.740 No, that's what I'm saying. And all this tragedy, if you had to be shot and had a head wound,

00:05:55.300 the trauma divisions of these hospitals, given the volume of violence, violent crimes in our violent

00:06:00.400 capital. With Lyman, it would seem to me that an individual that is a block or so from the actual

00:06:11.240 White House itself, as highly patrolled as that is, you have the National Guard on patrol

00:06:16.100 that would walk up with a target, but get to basically point blank range and shoot two National

00:06:21.760 Guardsmen in the head. The calculus they must have gone through is that I may not make it out of here.

00:06:27.560 I mean, this is probably as close to a suicide mission as you could get, sir.

00:06:34.420 I'm not sure that there's a worse place to try this level of violence. I mean, you're looking at

00:06:39.480 dozens of different kinds of law enforcement in this area, very highly patrolled. You heard the

00:06:46.020 Metropolitan Chief there mentioned the high visibility patrol, which is what we see a great

00:06:51.320 deal in this area and towards the monuments. You know, this is obviously one of the worst places to

00:06:55.980 do that. And, you know, we are grateful, as the gentleman mentioned, that the National Guardsmen are

00:06:59.840 fighting. But that person knew that he would have an immediate, very large response, Secret Service,

00:07:06.260 FBI, U.S. Marshals. You have ICE and HSI agents all over D.C. now also patrolling,

00:07:12.740 not to mention the National Guardsmen, which was reported that they were armed. They did not start

00:07:17.340 out armed, though. I will say that that was an early adjustment that they added carrying their

00:07:23.160 handgun, their service pistol. That did not start out that way, though. That came in a little bit

00:07:27.880 later. So, yeah, this is one of the worst places to commit any of these crimes. But as Jack pointed out,

00:07:33.200 there's plenty of shootings in D.C. in general. I mean, this is a very violent city. Even with

00:07:38.900 President Trump's efforts, we're still seeing a great deal of violence. We've done ride-alongs

00:07:43.000 with Metro Police Department. We have done embeds with all sorts of law enforcement. And they're

00:07:48.120 telling us the same thing, that D.C. does have a crime problem. Just a few weeks ago, we had back-to-back

00:07:53.360 weekends of mass shootings, three or more. Seven people were shot at one weekend. So, I mean,

00:07:58.880 we're still looking at a lot of violence. So, people here are, I think, brazen, despite the

00:08:03.420 massive amounts of law enforcement that does patrol very openly.

00:08:09.340 Chris, your thoughts, too. I mean, if you're going to do this, and maybe you've cased the

00:08:14.380 place or cased this, you have to assume it's going to be low probability that you, the shooter,

00:08:19.440 is going to make it out alive. Does that change your idea about the profile of this? And maybe it's

00:08:23.560 not a, it's not, it's not in the moment. It's not emotions. It's not on a whim. But somebody's

00:08:28.860 pretty focused on sending a message here, knowing that in all likelihood, they're not going to make

00:08:34.080 it out alive.

00:08:36.580 There could be two things. One, again, mentally unbalanced, couldn't weigh the consequences and

00:08:42.700 the dire circumstances that they were in. Two, that they had already, I guess, resigned themselves

00:08:50.300 to the fact that they were going to sacrifice themselves for their cause or for their ideology.

00:08:55.820 And if they didn't make it out of this confrontation, they had already made peace with

00:09:01.000 that. In my opinion, it's one of those two scenarios you're dealing with.

00:09:06.480 Wid, real quick, before we go to breakout, about a minute. Has there been enough, because getting to

00:09:12.140 this guy's motivation, has there been enough kind of blowback from the community? I thought a lot of

00:09:17.020 people in the community accepted the fact it was such a high crime, and they actually welcomed 0.99

00:09:21.400 the National Guard to help put it down, that it was really commentators. Did you, did you,

00:09:26.420 in any of the ride-alongs, anything you see, was the population of D.C. pushing back on this?

00:09:32.840 I would say there was a mixed bag as far as the response to extra National Guard and extra law

00:09:38.520 enforcement being on the ground. Some people were very grateful.

00:09:41.240 A lot of people who live here, though, they don't believe that they necessarily need it.

00:09:45.940 You know, we spoke with a barbecue owner on the northeast side of D.C., and he said as long as

00:09:51.500 they keep to themselves and keep the situation safe, that it's fine. But he had apprehensions,

00:09:56.440 and even to see the people inside the restaurant were apprehensive. So you do have a bit of a mixed 1.00

00:10:01.140 bag. What I will say, though, is if you talk to any tourists that come in, they're very grateful

00:10:05.860 that they're there. We'd hang on for a second. We've got an all-star panel, and Jack Posobiec

00:10:12.820 is riding shotgun with us. We're going to take a short commercial break. We're going to return

00:10:16.540 a tragedy in Washington, D.C. Two National Guardsmen shot at close range in the head,

00:10:23.420 struggling for their life right now, both in critical condition. A shooter that's also been

00:10:27.480 said to be in critical condition. We'll have all the updates for you when we return in the

00:10:32.560 War Room here on Real America's Voice. Back in a moment.

00:10:34.820 Open your eyes, no time to be blind. Open your mind to see. We're in a modern day,

00:10:44.400 Hollywood. Coming after your mind to find your soul. Oh, it's true. Modern day, Hollywood.

00:10:59.300 What do you think, as a lawyer, what do you think the consequences should be for people who are

00:11:05.020 abiding by following these steps from the commander-in-chief when they seem to be complete

00:11:09.700 overreaches of power? They're following unlawful commands from Donald Trump. And if you're committing

00:11:17.260 offenses and your defense is going to be, I was just following orders. You know, that didn't work out

00:11:24.280 so well at Nuremberg. It certainly didn't work out so well for Lieutenant Kelly when he, you know,

00:11:30.420 engaged in mass murder, the My Lai Massacre. And, you know, Pete Hegseth just doing whatever Donald

00:11:38.460 Trump tells him to do, like initiating a criminal investigation that could result in a court-martial

00:11:43.860 of Senator Kelly for simply stating accurately what the military law provides or Kash Patel's FBI

00:11:52.260 opening criminal probes of members of Congress for speaking the truth. You know, that, that is

00:11:59.080 something that will someday, when the rule of law comes back into the light of day, will have to be

00:12:04.380 tackled. They'll have to be held accountable for those abuses. It's going to be accounting for all

00:12:09.140 of this and remembering all of it. Of two people fighting for their lives, guardsmen, that this

00:12:14.440 president put there. And as I said, I was one that was very vocal against that. But I'm not going to

00:12:20.440 belittle the fact that their lives at stake to get into a back and forth with the president. I can say

00:12:26.400 that if I'm a member of their families, I don't want to hear what he's saying about Honduras right 1.00

00:12:32.360 now. I want to pray that these two guardsmen who were ordered there and who were being told by the

00:12:38.580 mayor was ambushed, make it through. And, and all of this about sending in 500 people, what does that

00:12:44.460 have to do with where we are now? I think that we've got to, those of us that have been opposed to the

00:12:50.200 president's policy, show that we're not going to morally match him by going down to a level of

00:12:56.260 insensitivity. There are two people fighting for their lives on Thanksgiving Eve. And it just seems ironic

00:13:02.280 to me that people that pardoned people assaulting police officers are now talking about how they're going to

00:13:10.340 uphold and, and, and look up to the people in the building. People in that building will beat January

00:13:15.480 6th. So Chris Paihota, how dangerous is that rhetoric, particularly the one at Saki at the

00:13:23.220 beginning, that if you're going to do this, you're going to be investigated. What are your thoughts

00:13:27.060 about that as former, a former senior member of the FBI? It's, it's dangerous and divisive. And it

00:13:33.900 creates a situation where people who are already at the lunatic fringes of ideology are pushed then

00:13:42.000 into acts of violence and it's, it's unproductive and it's, it's just flat. It's embarrassing that

00:13:51.000 our national leaders and prominent members of the media, uh, they engage in that type of discussion.

00:13:56.780 Uh, Jack Posobiec, uh, Daugherty, uh, Eric Daugherty has put up, I think you've seen it,

00:14:04.320 that photo of the individual we've seen. He's saying now CNN is reporting that breaking,

00:14:09.040 that's the national guard shooter identified by the FBI. He is not from Washington DC and not

00:14:14.540 cooperating with authorities. And Steve, we do NBC. NBC is now reporting as of a few minutes ago that

00:14:23.140 the FBI will initially investigate the shooting of two members of the national garden, DC as a

00:14:28.000 possible act of terrorism. According to two senior us law enforcement officials, the officials said

00:14:33.640 that the suspect who used a handgun in the attack has been initially identified as an Afghan national.

00:14:39.600 Uh, that is according to NBC reporting as of right now. So potential Afghan national and that the FBI

00:14:48.020 is looking at this as a possible act of terrorism, according to NBC news as of right now.

00:14:53.140 Uh, hit rewind. Give me that one more time. I want, uh, guys, if you can put up the Eric Daugherty

00:14:58.960 tweet, it's the individual being, uh, put into the, uh, put into the, uh, ambulance. He's got the

00:15:06.260 beard that looks like a traditional Muslim beard. Jack, can you give us what NBC news is reporting right

00:15:10.860 now? Initially identifying or investigating the shooting as a possible act of terrorism per two

00:15:19.120 senior us law enforcement officials. And that officials have initially identified the shooter

00:15:26.020 as an Afghan national. And that's according to NBC news. Chris, uh, Piotta, I'm gonna come back to you

00:15:33.220 before going to WID, you know, Jack Vosobiec said in the previous hour of this show, it shouldn't be

00:15:38.960 lost on anybody. Just as we think through this night that, uh, the president of the United States

00:15:43.500 signed a, uh, executive order designate the, at least the study are moving forward with designating

00:15:49.620 the Muslim brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Your thoughts, sir. I think it's a great step 1.00

00:15:55.400 forward for our national security. The Muslim brotherhood has cruised under the radar for decades

00:16:00.840 and everyone has been reluctant to investigate them solely on their Muslim brotherhood affiliation.

00:16:08.860 And if you weren't part of one of the more hardcore identified terror groups, you kind of were able

00:16:14.360 to move through life without FBI or, you know, intelligence community scrutiny. So I think it's a great

00:16:21.320 move forward. I would just like to see how it progresses. And I hope the president takes a very assertive

00:16:26.220 stance on this. Uh, WID, uh, Lyman, uh, your thoughts now, NBC's, uh, identifying this individual

00:16:35.620 and you've seen that photo. And if we can get it up on, uh, if Denver can put it up, uh, you've seen

00:16:40.780 the photo, uh, he's not cooperating, but CNN is reporting that he's not from DC. And of course,

00:16:46.660 NBC news is saying he's an Afghan national. Your thoughts, sir. Again, thoughts and prayers with the

00:16:53.440 two national guardsmen that are battling right now for, for their lives. And this, I think is speaks

00:16:59.460 to the bigger picture of the violence that is occurring in the United States as president Trump

00:17:04.720 kind of pushes forwards with his immigration crackdown. We're seeing over a thousand percent

00:17:08.940 increase on ice and border patrol officials as they conduct their operations. We're seeing rhetoric

00:17:14.680 from many Democrats and people on the left that is pointing to people, you know, possibly instigating

00:17:21.160 some of these things, you know, we're seeing just dangerous rhetoric, uh, coming out of the

00:17:24.880 governor of Illinois, uh, the mayor in Chicago, the mayor of many other areas. So I think that we have

00:17:30.040 to be careful and cognizant going forwards. And again, the violence seems to be increasing across

00:17:35.380 the board, whether it's people in the country that are upset at the administration or a targeted

00:17:39.800 attack on the national guard here in DC. But doesn't this also reinforce what president Trump,

00:17:46.740 the reason that the principal reason that the, uh, the national guard was called in number one was

00:17:52.780 to help with law enforcement in these out of control cities. The other was to help with ice as I started

00:17:58.460 to take out the bad hombres, uh, uh, with your thoughts on that. You know, we're hearing a call

00:18:05.620 for national guard across multiple cities. You know, the administration wants to send guard troops to

00:18:10.740 Portland, to Chicago, where they've seen the most amount of violence during the immigration raids.

00:18:15.680 We did an embed with the Chicago area director there for ice. And he was talking about the

00:18:20.680 ramming that occur, the constant assaults on immigration enforcement as they go through the

00:18:25.620 city, uh, doing what they're lawfully supposed to do. I mean, there's over a million people in

00:18:29.520 the country that have final removal orders. These are people that have had, uh, their time before

00:18:34.500 a court and are legally supposed to be leaving. So I think we're seeing just an increase in violence

00:18:39.560 across the board. And here in DC, they've had numerous issues with violence for many,

00:18:43.880 many decades. Uh, and the administration is bent on making this area safer. And I think

00:18:49.340 that the attack tonight highlights the need for more troops, more involvement to making our city

00:18:54.880 safer. So you think the initial call, Pete Hegs said tonight, the secretary of war to say,

00:19:00.000 Hey, I've talked to the president. We're sending in 500 more troops in the, uh, into DC right away.

00:19:05.880 You think that's fully justified? It certainly sounds like it. And I'm going to trust the

00:19:11.260 administration to do the right thing at this moment. They obviously have more information

00:19:14.800 than we do, but you know, we'd like to see national guard protecting our laws and our people, uh,

00:19:19.840 throughout the entire country. And certainly here in the Capitol, uh, we'd hang on Chris,

00:19:26.520 Jack, uh, Jack, I'm going to come back to you about your called shot. We're going to take a short

00:19:29.680 commercial break here on real America's voice. You're in the war room as we expanded coverage

00:19:34.760 tonight, uh, sitting in for John Sullen and the team that are out for a Thanksgiving short

00:19:39.360 commercial break back in a moment.

00:19:40.600 Denver. If you'd be so kind to put up the photograph of the shooter, Jack Posobiec,

00:20:08.340 you called this a couple hours ago. You said, Hey, it, uh, it shouldn't, uh, it shouldn't be

00:20:13.760 lost on people. The president just signed this very controversial, uh, executive order about the

00:20:18.500 Muslim brotherhood. I mean, we've been talking about it all day. We had Laura Loomer, uh, on this

00:20:22.800 morning, uh, with, uh, with Alex Jones and both of them went off on it. Um, the, uh, and now NBC news

00:20:30.800 is reporting, uh, that this individual, the shooter who is not cooperating with the FBI is, uh, is from,

00:20:37.840 um, is from Afghanistan, sir. Uh, again, Steve, these are all initial reports, the same as the

00:20:45.660 photos. So I just want to say that, you know, we're, we're going off of the information that,

00:20:50.680 that we're receiving. Of course, I'm working my sources within the federal government as well.

00:20:54.500 A lot of people off for the Thanksgiving holiday. Uh, I was already also planning to be off with my

00:21:00.100 family for the Thanksgiving holiday, but fortunately Tanya, uh, Tay and the, and the boys are very

00:21:04.860 understanding and, uh, we'll, we'll get there. We'll get there. But Steve, what we're seeing now

00:21:08.980 is this report, um, saying that it may have been an Afghan national and that I'm hearing as well as

00:21:16.640 NBC that international, that not just terrorism, but international terrorism is being looked at

00:21:22.900 as a potential motive by the FBI. So international terrorism and Afghan national being named by senior

00:21:30.480 law and senior federal law enforcement. And this is something that you certainly have to look at in

00:21:35.540 the context of president Trump signing that executive order just a few days ago. In fact,

00:21:41.060 when we were there last Friday, um, we know, we knew that it was in the works and they were looking

00:21:46.540 at signing it soon. The president signed it just a few days later. Uh, Steve, I remember I mentioned

00:21:50.780 it to you off air actually that evening. And so that, uh, the Muslim Brotherhood EO was coming up.

00:21:55.560 So this is something where, you know, we also know that Northern Virginia, a lot of the Afghans that 0.95

00:22:01.560 even the United States brought out during the fall of Kabul ended up in, uh, on those planes ended up

00:22:08.360 in Northern Virginia. And so a lot of questions then coming forward, if this was an Afghan national,

00:22:13.880 what immigration status are they here under? Did they come during the fall of Kabul? Did they come

00:22:18.780 under some other auspices? Again, all of this is going to come out in the investigation.

00:22:23.000 And a lot of people that were very upset about that, about the number that we were taking,

00:22:28.460 Chris Paiota, uh, when the FBI is telling, uh, sort of telling NBC news and CNN and others

00:22:35.300 that this is now going to be, they're going to also look about the international terrorism aspect of

00:22:40.300 this from an individual who's been identified as an Afghan national. What does that tell you,

00:22:44.800 sir, as a former senior FBI assistant director?

00:22:47.900 It means they're taking out all the stops. They're going to use all available authorities

00:22:53.200 and resources and investigative avenues to find out what this person's about, who he knows,

00:22:59.860 where he's been. And as mentioned previously, how did he enter our country? When did he enter?

00:23:05.840 Who sponsored him in? If he was sponsored, it's going to be a very, very fast moving investigation.

00:23:12.680 The scope will widen as it moves forward. And using the international terrorism umbrella

00:23:18.580 gives the FBI more access to certain, uh, intelligence collection resources than a normal

00:23:26.860 criminal investigative effort would. Well, isn't this also one of the reasons I've designated the

00:23:32.180 Muslim Brotherhood of Terrorist Organization? You get the, you get the ability to look at a money 0.73

00:23:36.580 laundering, finance, the, you know, networks they've got to actually do logistics and, uh, and financing

00:23:42.400 of this, uh, uh, sir. Absolutely. They want to make sure they can characterize a network. If it exists,

00:23:50.860 they want to identify everyone in it and then they're going to figure out how to interdict that

00:23:56.280 network of logistical support or money or whatever the, uh, support function is. So that's why they're

00:24:03.440 opening this up. And, uh, if the individual shooter as identified is an Afghan national and they were

00:24:10.380 able to make some reasonable inferences, it's the prudent thing to do at this point.

00:24:16.880 Uh, with Lyman, uh, it's been designated, at least we're getting reports that, uh, the FBI is now

00:24:22.280 looking at this as a potential part of international terrorism. Your thoughts, sir?

00:24:26.220 I agree with Mr. Payota completely, because I think that allowing this designation gives them

00:24:34.020 more resources going forwards and allows them to do more and access more different types of

00:24:39.800 information. We see this with the designation of the Mexican cartels. It allows the federal

00:24:44.320 government to utilize more resources and throw more weight at the problem itself. And it gives them

00:24:49.840 opportunity. So I think this designation is, uh, shocking, not surprising, and certainly good

00:24:55.660 going forwards because they can allow for all of these, uh, full of, full of government to go

00:25:00.360 forwards. By the way, uh, Eric Bowling, uh, the host of the five o'clock just, or the four o'clock

00:25:06.060 just sent me according to CNN, the suspect approached the guardsmen clearly intending to target them.

00:25:10.640 He fired first at one soldier who was mere feet away. A second soldier tried to take cover behind a

00:25:16.660 bus stop shelter. The shooter then turned and fired at him too. The suspect had zero identification on

00:25:22.580 him as completely stonewalling investigators. This wasn't random. This wasn't a robbery. This wasn't

00:25:28.140 wrong place, wrong time. This was a calculate execution attempt on American troops in broad daylight in

00:25:34.240 the nation's capital and literally in the shadow of the white house. Jack Posobiec, uh, your, your thoughts,

00:25:40.780 sir.

00:25:42.940 Look, Steve, we live in a real world. We live during dangerous times. We see radical Marxism. We see the way

00:25:48.700 that the radical Marxists have opened our borders to all slew of America's adversaries, bringing in 0.94

00:25:55.180 totally unvetted third worlders from all over the place. You look at these programs from the Middle 1.00

00:26:00.580 East that we've talked about again and again and again, these visa programs where they're just

00:26:05.400 letting anybody declare asylum, letting anyone declare that they should be able to, uh, to enter

00:26:10.880 the United States, then overstaying visas in many cases, overstaying temporary status. It's something

00:26:15.680 obviously that Stephen Miller has warned about. It's something that we've been warning about here

00:26:19.600 for years on the program. And, you know, it's, I, I wish I could say, I wish I could say that we had

00:26:25.840 no indication, but this was avoidable. This was absolutely avoidable. And anyone who supported

00:26:31.780 those programs really needs to take a strong look at themselves in the mirror after this.

00:26:36.680 Uh, WID, uh, Lyman, uh, we're going to let you go. We want to thank the Borderhawk for being here.

00:26:43.020 Where do people get your show? Where do they get your content on, uh, on Twitter, sir?

00:27:10.420 Sure. I'm on the X platform at Chris Paihota. I also have a YouTube channel that I just started up,

00:27:16.600 Ordinary People 9513, where we talk about some good stuff. And of course, thank you for showing my

00:27:31.600 changed and what we can do to get it back on track. Appreciate being here with you today.

00:27:36.420 Now, Chris, we're looking forward to having you back on the War Room and with Lyman also. Great

00:27:40.460 job, guys, stepping in today. Poso's gonna ride shotgun. I think John Fredericks is at the White

00:27:46.720 House or is just at the White House. We're gonna try to get him up. Short break. Back in the War Room in

00:27:50.280 just a moment. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. All Family Pharmacy has started its sale. Go to

00:28:05.720 allfamilypharmacy.com slash Bannon. Black Friday, buy one, get one free. Your medical freedom starts

00:28:12.720 there. This company is absolutely terrific. The response we've gotten from Warrior Posse is amazing.

00:28:18.760 Jack, we're gonna wrap up the show here. I want to thank Real America's Voice. We took John, stepped in for John Solomon and Amanda Head today. You've got some breaking news, Jack.

00:28:28.720 Yeah, Steve, this comes from Julio Rosas. He's a Marine. Of course, he's done a lot of this street reporting in the past. He's someone who's got excellent, impeccable sources within law enforcement, specifically in Washington, D.C.

00:28:44.720 He writes,

00:28:58.480 Law enforcement source in D.C. tells me,

00:29:01.100 The National Guardsman shooting suspect is an Afghan national who used a revolver. A National Guardsman, who was not armed with a firearm, used a pocket knife to stab the suspect. Another guardsman responded to the gunfire and shot the suspect multiple times. The suspect reportedly shouted, Allahu Akbar.

00:29:19.580 A pocket knife, Allahu Akbar. By the way, Laura Loomer had tipped to you. You called this in the first 30 seconds. The picture was up. John Fredericks, you were actually on the location. You join us now from near the White House. What happened?

00:29:36.120 Well, listen, this is this is two blocks from the White House. This is right by where I live. Actually, my son, Joe's home from Maryland baseball. We walked right by there about 30 minutes, 35 minutes before this. We always say hi to the National Guard. They have revitalized this city. But let me tell you what went on today. This is a political assassination. This was you got the Democrats out there, Jack and Steve, every day talking about their Nazis, you know, their

00:30:06.060 they're occupying the city, they're occupying the city, all this nonsense. If you talk to the residents of D.C., like me, they love the National Guard. All the protests you get here are not from residents of Washington, D.C. They're not from the black community. It's all from white liberals coming from your mansions, their gated mansions in Northern Virginia, Montgomery County. And so what happened today is horrific. Now, we can't back down because what they really want is is us to cave, get the National Guard out, let the crime come back,

00:30:35.580 not going to happen. In fact, Pete, Pete Hegstead today said, look, tomorrow I'm sending 500 more National Guard in to protect the city. Now, this was I mean, coming out of here, we see them every single day. We talk and we say, hi, thank you for being here. How is things going? Don't get down. All the people spitting on you or whatever. They don't live here. The residents love you. Look, look, Jack, they walk around. They pick up trash.

00:31:02.540 They clean off graffiti. They plant flowers. This is what the National Guard does. And they protect you.

00:31:08.420 When I first came here in December, it was an absolute crap hole. I couldn't go down the street. I couldn't take an out to supper. I would never let her ride the metro. Now we live in the safest city in America.

00:31:20.100 The revitalization that President Trump has done in Washington, D.C. in eight, nine months is the greatest metamorphosis in the galaxy.

00:31:30.040 This is now the greatest city with as far as crime is down and goes on the metro. Joe goes on the metro.

00:31:36.400 I go on it every day, walk the streets. I just took my family right now. I stepped out for dinner.

00:31:41.220 No worries because of what Trump has done. This message has got to go nationally.

00:31:46.440 And we can't let a political assassin stop this. And that's basically what happened here.

00:31:52.580 John Fredericks, social media, I know you're going to be up all night tonight. We're getting ready to punch here.

00:31:56.820 Where do people go? You were down there today. You live right around the corner.

00:32:00.900 Great report on the National Guard. What's shocking is that one of the National Guard men did not have a weapon.

00:32:06.880 He didn't have a gun. What he had was a pocket knife. John, where do people go to get more of your reporting tonight?

00:32:14.180 Really easy. I'm all over social media. At JF Radio Show. At JF Radio Show. Everything is there. Jack and Steve, thanks for having me.

00:32:22.940 Jack, John, thank you so much. And thank you for the great report.

00:32:26.560 So before we leave, turn it over to the Stinchfield Show. I've got to ask you, we had Laura Loomer, we had Loomer on today and we had Alex Jones and you in the second hour of the morning show to talk about, hey, why do we need 75 days on the Muslim Brotherhood, right? 0.73

00:32:46.620 We've studied this for a year. Understanding President Trump does all these. There is a format as Alex Jones walked through.

00:32:53.180 But doesn't this show, this is now, you know, when the guy's given the jihadist cry before he shoots two National Guardsmen in the head at point blank range.

00:33:04.160 Isn't it time now we say enough is enough. Let's go ahead and roll through this designation and start getting serious about throwing this trash out of our country.

00:33:12.800 Steve, you want to talk about taking out the trash? I think it's very simple. Mass deportations is the moderate position.

00:33:21.000 At this point, mass deportations is the moderate position. And look, we talked about it earlier.

00:33:26.540 We talked about the men of the West need to start waking up and handling things.

00:33:30.780 The men of Texas, I don't know if there's any men left in Washington, D.C. since President Trump's not there right now.

00:33:37.200 But you got a situation where they're coming, they're raping the women, they're coming for children, they're shooting our soldiers, they're shooting our police officers.

00:33:46.500 Why are they here, Steve? Why do we let them into our country? 1.00

00:33:49.760 Why are we told that they had to be here? When you look at what's going on in Minneapolis, when you look at what's going on in Dearborn,

00:33:56.400 when you look at so many of these places, National Guardsmen being shot up in our in our capital, in our capital city on a holiday.

00:34:04.540 Steve, that's like something you would hear from a third world country, but it's not.

00:34:09.080 It's what we're hearing right now in Washington, D.C., in the United States of America today.

00:34:14.560 Why are they here? They shouldn't be here. They need to go.

00:34:18.140 On the eve of Thanksgiving, you know, the only country in the world that thanks God for the bounty and the in the in the blessings we've had.

00:34:25.700 They're going to shoot them right in the shadow of the White House. Enough is enough.

00:34:28.960 We got to stop. We got to stop it. We have to stop playing games.

00:34:32.420 We got to get serious. Jack Posobiec, your social media, sir, you are on fire.

00:34:36.560 Where do people go? Steve, you can you can follow me up at Jack Posobiec on Twitter, true social.

00:34:43.140 We're going to have a big special this weekend, Thursday, Friday, all about the twisted world of Tyler Robinson.

00:34:50.020 And I want to just show for the audience, folks want to know about this, that this is going to be available soon.

00:34:56.440 And I've got here a copy of Charlie Kirk's last book. This is Stop in the Name of God.

00:35:01.440 It's about how Charlie used to take off time one day a week, get away from the phone, spend time with God.

00:35:07.720 Charlie loved Thanksgiving. He loved the day to just be with the Lord, to be with his family.

00:35:12.420 This book is coming out on December 9th. Erica Kirk wrote the foreword to it just a few weeks ago.

00:35:17.780 Incredible. Have a great Thanksgiving, Jack, and tell Tanya and the kids thank you for letting you take you for a couple hours here.

00:35:28.000 Appreciate it. Appreciate you.

00:35:29.460 God bless, Steve. God bless to the posse and to the National Guardsmen.

00:35:32.900 We're going to be back here tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. for our Thanksgiving special.

00:35:36.660 Don't miss it. Billy Joe Shaver takes us out. Get thee behind me, Satan.

00:35:40.300 And I couldn't see myself The demons that were in me Had turned me wrong side how

00:35:49.400 I knew inside my soul I was headed straight for hell

00:35:55.420 But I couldn't form
