00:00:50.400 Christ is King.
00:00:54.360 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard.
00:00:57.340 We are here at AmFest, and as we do, as we do every year at AmericaFest, we take some time
00:01:07.740 to sit down with the professor himself, Stephen K. Bannon, to not look back, but to look forward
00:01:18.200 at the year to come.
00:01:19.960 Ladies and gentlemen, this is the New Year's Strategy Session going in to 2025 here on Human
00:01:29.300 Events Daily.
00:01:32.480 I think we called it last year about President Trump winning the primary overall for the year
00:01:38.080 we end with a MAGA victory.
00:01:39.860 There are a couple things we may have missed.
00:01:41.420 A couple of surprises.
00:01:43.440 A couple of screwballs.
00:01:44.420 I got to go back and look at it.
00:01:45.480 I think Jack had a few things wrong, but...
00:01:46.960 No, no, no, no, no.
00:01:48.340 It was definitely you.
00:01:49.020 It was definitely you.
00:01:49.820 You were like, first of all, you were like, I'm going to be around all summer and fall.
00:01:54.320 That didn't happen.
00:01:56.360 He took a couple of months off.
00:01:58.200 You've got to remember that, folks.
00:01:59.120 I was around.
00:02:00.360 I just said Spa Danbury.
00:02:03.220 By the way, we've never really said this on air.
00:02:06.680 When Steve was in there, I got to tell you something, folks.
00:02:08.960 People said, remember he was saying, no letters, no emails, no visits, get to work,
00:02:15.180 get out there.
00:02:16.440 That didn't mean that he wouldn't be writing emails.
00:02:19.120 This guy sent me more emails when he was in Danbury than he sends me messages since he's
00:02:24.820 been out.
00:02:26.060 Yeah, definitely.
00:02:26.940 I went to work there.
00:02:27.880 By the way, I want to thank Jack.
00:02:29.360 You know, Jack, Jack's speech.
00:02:32.360 Did everybody see Jack's speech yesterday on Main Stage?
00:02:34.880 It was amazing.
00:02:35.960 You know, it was so impressive.
00:02:37.960 And Jack's such a dynamic personality.
00:02:39.660 Because remember, Jack does not get up and read the speech.
00:02:42.180 He's wandering around.
00:02:43.140 It all comes from the heart and the head.
00:02:45.080 And it was incredible.
00:02:46.220 You know, Jack's up there.
00:02:47.120 It's fire and brimstone.
00:02:48.200 He's got, I think everybody's got 20 minutes up there.
00:02:50.140 Fire and brimstone.
00:02:51.280 At the very end, Tanya comes out with Jack, Jack and his other little boy.
00:02:56.860 I said it went from like fire and brimstone, you know, just the depths of hell and the
00:03:03.120 specter of darkness to the Perry Cuomo Christmas show.
00:03:08.740 No, wait a minute.
00:03:09.440 Wait, wait.
00:03:09.820 Maybe Bing Crosby.
00:03:10.980 Bing Crosby.
00:03:11.320 Wait, I got to tell you the best part.
00:03:12.880 Christmas special.
00:03:13.720 See, here's the thing he doesn't know yet, though.
00:03:15.980 The best part of that is the walk-on wasn't my idea.
00:03:21.140 And it wasn't Tanya Tay's idea.
00:03:23.500 The walk-on was Jack Jack's idea.
00:03:26.120 Ah.
00:03:27.040 Jack Jack knows.
00:03:27.880 I have no idea where he gets it from, folks.
00:03:29.700 Yeah.
00:03:29.860 I have no idea.
00:03:30.340 But Steve.
00:03:30.700 I thought it was the producers trying to give Jack the Pacific the hook, the only way
00:03:34.600 to do it in the family.
00:03:35.360 Yeah, somebody get me off.
00:03:36.140 No, no, no.
00:03:36.700 It was all Jack Jack's idea.
00:03:38.360 He loves being on here.
00:03:39.660 And I'll tell you what, Steve.
00:03:40.700 When you were away, it was Jack Jack who asked me every single day if Uncle Steve was going
00:03:45.500 to be okay.
00:03:46.100 And, folks, I've said this before.
00:03:48.180 I'll say it again here on the New Year's special that on the morning that Steve Bannon got out
00:03:54.300 of Danbury, I gave him a phone call.
00:03:57.880 He answered.
00:03:59.040 And I said, Steve, someone's been asking about you every single day.
00:04:03.840 He took a call from little Jack Jack, six years old, on the day he got out with everything
00:04:09.220 that he had going on.
00:04:10.660 Steve took time to say hi to my son.
00:04:13.180 And I said, Jack Jack, don't take care of your Uncle Steve.
00:04:15.520 Don't be a convict.
00:04:18.100 He said, Jack Jack, remember, when they come, don't talk.
00:04:24.180 Exactly.
00:04:24.860 Nobody flips.
00:04:26.920 We know what happens to snitches around here.
00:04:29.960 Yeah.
00:04:30.420 Show me your papers.
00:04:32.400 Show me the papers.
00:04:33.440 If you're a rat.
00:04:33.880 We got a couple of minutes until the break, Steve.
00:04:35.880 But, look, what I want to outline to folks is people think that we got the victory.
00:04:40.840 People, oh, the victory, the great victory.
00:04:42.800 They keep coming up to me.
00:04:43.740 I said, this is not victory.
00:04:46.420 January 20th is not victory.
00:04:48.820 The other side has not gone away.
00:04:51.260 The Chinese Communist Party has not gone away.
00:04:54.080 The deep state has not gone away.
00:04:56.180 And so, no, this is not victory.
00:04:58.420 Victory is achieved on the final day of President Trump's administration when we can look back
00:05:03.860 and when, and as they say in the military, the commander's desired end state has been achieved.
00:05:09.080 And the commander's desired end state is that the United States of America and the Republic be restored to greatness.
00:05:15.760 That will be victory.
00:05:17.460 And so we're going to spend the next couple, it's next hour or so explaining the challenges and the strategies ahead that we have to determine that victory.
00:05:27.120 Now, whether that, whether that run of President Trump ends this term, are we kicking in and do it again in 28?
00:05:35.000 I said last day.
00:05:36.020 I said last day.
00:05:36.900 Let's do some weapons grade trolling.
00:05:37.860 I said last day.
00:05:38.820 Go Trump forever.
00:05:40.300 You never Trumpers.
00:05:41.280 Look, look, 45th, 46th, 47th, maybe even 48th.
00:05:47.400 I don't know.
00:05:48.340 Just saying.
00:05:48.720 I don't know.
00:05:49.520 Just saying.
00:05:50.180 Hey, just saying.
00:05:51.080 You know, Steve, that amendment doesn't say anything about being vice president, does it?
00:05:54.580 Or Speaker of the House.
00:05:55.980 Or Speaker of the House.
00:05:57.080 I never know.
00:05:57.820 Special Prosecutor, Donald Trump.
00:06:00.140 I don't know.
00:06:01.380 There's all sorts of things that we can do.
00:06:04.020 Folks, stick with us.
00:06:04.960 We'll be right back.
00:06:05.720 Woo!
00:06:05.840 Woo!
00:06:06.840 Woo!
00:06:07.840 Woo!
00:06:08.340 Woo!
00:06:08.840 Woo!
00:06:09.840 Woo!
00:06:09.900 Woo!
00:06:10.840 Woo!
00:06:11.260 Today, you know, they talk about influencers.
00:06:26.400 These are influencers.
00:06:28.260 And they're friends of mine.
00:06:30.640 Jack Posobiec.
00:06:32.160 Where's Jack?
00:06:33.100 Jack.
00:06:34.100 He's done a great job.
00:06:35.540 Woo!
00:06:35.900 Woo!
00:06:36.100 Woo!
00:06:36.380 Woo!
00:06:38.980 All right, Jack Posobiec, we're back.
00:06:40.820 Human Events Daily, New Year's Strategy Session 2025 with none other than Stephen K. Bannon,
00:06:49.820 the professor himself.
00:06:50.440 So this is our third year of doing this?
00:06:52.900 Third or fourth, I think, yeah.
00:06:54.160 Maybe fourth year.
00:06:54.920 Fourth year of doing it.
00:06:55.540 Maybe fourth.
00:06:56.160 Maybe fourth.
00:06:56.760 You know, they keep trying to shut us down, put you in jail.
00:06:59.140 Maybe I'll be next.
00:06:59.960 I don't know.
00:07:01.020 You know, but Steve, let's talk about that because we talked about the fact that victory
00:07:05.640 has not yet been achieved.
00:07:07.820 Victory is only achieved after, not before.
00:07:10.320 Never confuse actions with results.
00:07:12.980 That's a huge part of it.
00:07:13.980 Charlie says that.
00:07:15.200 But let me ask you this.
00:07:16.520 But we are on the path.
00:07:17.840 I mean, it's victory begets victory.
00:07:19.520 We're on the path.
00:07:20.220 We're on the path.
00:07:20.980 We are marching down the field.
00:07:21.680 That's one of the greatest comeback ever.
00:07:23.320 These people, it's just, now, it's everybody, you know, we've shattered those guys.
00:07:28.120 What I love about our movement is they are, you know, the State Department had had these
00:07:32.760 sessions where they went over and patted them on the head and they felt bad for three
00:07:35.920 days.
00:07:36.720 They've got these things that they're exhausted.
00:07:39.740 MSNBC's audience has dropped by two-thirds.
00:07:42.140 CNN's by 50%.
00:07:43.440 The New York Times, they're all saying they're exhausted.
00:07:46.060 They just can't, Trump's just too much.
00:07:47.840 That means you guys are too much.
00:07:49.120 That's why we have resilience, though.
00:07:52.440 We refuse to quit.
00:07:53.600 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Steve.
00:07:55.180 Steve, now, a lot of people won't put this out, but I love putting out Steve's receipts
00:08:00.940 and putting out his laundry.
00:08:02.080 So let me just say this.
00:08:02.980 I heard a story that MSNBC is looking for Trump supporters to come on.
00:08:09.960 So, Steve, can you confirm the rumor that you are going to be the third co-host on Morning
00:08:15.900 Joe going forward with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski?
00:08:20.160 I can neither.
00:08:21.820 Can you confirm the rumors?
00:08:23.840 When approached by MSNBC, I told him, I said, look, I won't even take a meeting until you
00:08:30.100 commit that the show's going to be renamed Morning Mika.
00:08:33.220 Morning Mika.
00:08:33.720 Mika gets top billing and Mika gets more money than Joe and myself combined.
00:08:37.400 When they're prepared to have a discussion, I think it's very unfair that Mika doesn't
00:08:41.120 get, although she went to Mar-a-Lago, as President Trump says, and bled all over his nice Persian
00:08:45.660 carpets after her work.
00:08:48.860 No, they have to meet those conditions.
00:08:51.540 Then I'll sit down with them.
00:08:52.720 You see that, folks?
00:08:53.440 They haven't offered him enough money yet.
00:08:54.740 That's what that is.
00:08:55.860 That's what that, but would you do it, Steve?
00:08:57.540 And then you do the war room at 10.
00:08:59.380 Well, no, here's what I think ought to happen.
00:09:00.940 And I've mentioned this to guys at Truth, I strongly believe since Comcast and NBC, this
00:09:09.140 is how much NBC News thinks of MSNBC, they're cutting them loose, they're spinning them out
00:09:13.860 into a public company with CNBC and the Golf Channel.
00:09:18.240 So for President Trump, I would take True Social, its market cap is, I don't know, six
00:09:24.140 or seven billion dollars, just merge MSNBC, CNBC, and the Golf Channel into President Trump.
00:09:30.560 I mean, he's got a business channel.
00:09:32.340 How would you like President Trump or Devin Nunez as the CEO of MSNBC?
00:09:38.880 Hey, would Rachel Maddow make, think about it.
00:09:42.820 The girl works one day a week on Monday night, she made 30 million dollars a year.
00:09:48.140 She took a five million pay cut and they make it like it's extraordinary.
00:09:51.880 So I do hear, though, from people that are dialed in, MSNBC is going to have a huge schedule
00:09:56.960 change.
00:09:57.480 I think you're going to see a lot of people that maybe have late afternoon shows.
00:10:01.080 I think a bunch of the nighttime anchors, they're going to cut loose.
00:10:04.780 But I really think President Trump ought to take a hard look at buying it for True Social.
00:10:09.360 Poetic justice.
00:10:10.600 Here's the thing, though, folks, and I've already seen this with CNN.
00:10:14.120 What they're doing is they're pivoting away from politics back into hard news.
00:10:19.520 Remember, CNN used to be the car chase channel.
00:10:23.120 They say, oh, there's a car chase going on, something blew up, there's a terrorist attack,
00:10:27.300 ISIS, whatever.
00:10:28.280 CNN, just whatever is breaking, they put that up, they put that up, they put that up.
00:10:32.500 And I get it because that gets the dopamine rush.
00:10:34.440 People want to watch it.
00:10:35.640 And then they would hit you with the politics in the evening.
00:10:39.180 Don't think for a second that if they don't change leadership, it means that they have changed
00:10:44.560 who they are.
00:10:45.680 A leopard cannot change its spots.
00:10:48.220 MSNBC and CNN, if they remain on the current leadership, they will not have changed.
00:10:52.720 See, the business guys on the business side of those networks are looking at places like
00:10:57.360 Real America's Voice, the podcast universe, the social media, the influencers.
00:11:03.680 See, you guys replaced, one of the big things you did in this populist revolt, you shattered
00:11:08.260 mainstream media, right?
00:11:10.360 Mainstream media, the numbers are way down in the New York Times, but most importantly,
00:11:14.100 it's CNN and at MSNBC.
00:11:17.180 But if you go look, if you go look at broadcast news, just take the time one time and at six
00:11:23.080 o'clock or five o'clock, cut on CBS, ABC, NBC.
00:11:26.740 It's like news for imbeciles.
00:11:29.100 It's so dumbed down as to be like, you've got to be kidding me.
00:11:32.640 This is what you're spending so much money on.
00:11:34.580 You guys broke that and shattered that.
00:11:36.760 And that's why I think you're going to see.
00:11:38.620 So CNN last night, if you guys were here early and saw the cold open of War Room, we actually
00:11:45.480 started to hit an eight-minute segment last night on Abby Phillips' primetime show about
00:11:50.580 like my speech and something else, talking about Kash Patel going after guys and about
00:11:56.440 taxes on the wealthy.
00:11:58.440 And I said that CNN wanted to get this audience to start to dial in.
00:12:02.260 So they're pretty desperate right now.
00:12:03.560 No, they're getting pretty desperate, but they're running more and more operations to
00:12:08.840 try to get you back.
00:12:09.960 But Steve, look, I think that this is what President Trump should do.
00:12:14.220 But look, he won this thing with podcasts and social media.
00:12:19.360 This was the podcast election.
00:12:21.340 This was the War Room election, the human events election.
00:12:26.200 We saw all the podcasts he did.
00:12:27.740 So here's a question I have.
00:12:29.280 Why not cancel that White House briefing that they do every day for the press?
00:12:35.400 You're only walking in there to give them their sound bites to have you watch that.
00:12:40.700 Look, Caroline Levitt, she can handle all those people.
00:12:43.700 But at the end of the day, is that really the best use of her time?
00:12:46.540 What if, what if, this is my pitch, cancel him in the Brady Room, turn it back into a pool
00:12:52.160 like JFK had before they took him out.
00:12:55.180 And then you go over to the Eisenhower building, you use that big room that they have set up,
00:13:01.140 you know, the fake Oval Office where Joe is.
00:13:03.320 But instead of the mainstream media, in the front row, you've got War Room, Real America's
00:13:10.440 Voice, you've got independent podcasters, you've got citizen journalists, you've got Carly
00:13:15.860 Bonet and the Midnight Rider.
00:13:19.020 That's the real lead journalism.
00:13:21.220 Carly, will you be down, you'll be the White House correspondent for Midnight Rider?
00:13:25.180 We've got, we're here to announce that Natalie Winters will be the White House correspondent
00:13:29.780 for War Room.
00:13:30.360 Let's go.
00:13:31.180 If she doesn't go in the administration, we've already put in, here's what, people, so the
00:13:35.740 White House compound, right, has this huge compound now, and the old State Department,
00:13:40.880 War Department, is called the Executive Office building, the Eisenhower, it's a little street,
00:13:45.300 a tiny street, you just cross over.
00:13:47.420 People forget that the great Jack Kennedy's press conferences that you see on YouTube were
00:13:52.340 either done at the old State Department or there, so it's a beautiful amphitheater.
00:13:57.020 I think it sees 250.
00:13:58.360 You shut down the Brady Room, you turn it back up, because when you're in the West Wing,
00:14:02.240 you have, like, the Oval Office is here, and the press room is right there.
00:14:06.060 I mean, it's like 50 feet away.
00:14:07.200 The media is on top of the president in the most sensitive thing, and you can see who's
00:14:12.220 going in and out of the Oval Office.
00:14:13.820 You've got to get them, you've got to dig them out of there, put them across the street,
00:14:17.200 and then I think you have the first five rows are influencers, podcasts, streaming services
00:14:24.260 that NBC and ABC, they're sitting back in the sixth row where they deserve, and let them
00:14:28.740 work for it by asking, you know, questions and doing some work instead of putting up fake
00:14:32.900 news.
00:14:33.220 What about Natalie Winters, you know, for War Room, because that's, you know, that's
00:14:38.260 a little, but Steve, you know, there's a guy I know, and I don't know what his situation
00:14:42.840 is.
00:14:43.200 He might come up as a free agent here next year.
00:14:45.900 I'm thinking for Human Events Daily, we might have to hire a White House correspondent out
00:14:51.360 of Texas, and his name is Alex Jones.
00:14:54.860 What do you think about that, folks?
00:14:56.980 White House correspondent, Alex Jones.
00:14:59.100 I think Alex Jones in the White House every day would be extraordinary, be fantastic.
00:15:03.900 He'd probably do an Alex Jones show, but that's the type of person you can't get, listen,
00:15:08.500 all the stuff that they mock people like Alex Jones, people like that, for saying for so
00:15:12.220 long, eventually becomes true, right?
00:15:15.700 Here's a perfect example.
00:15:17.600 The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times have broken the last 48 hours blockbuster
00:15:22.380 stories with 50 unnamed sources, but close to the situation, that Biden was never really
00:15:29.400 the president.
00:15:30.400 Both the Journal and the Times are saying the things that we talked about from the beginning.
00:15:33.760 He was illegitimate.
00:15:34.940 We didn't know who was in back, because he never really campaigned.
00:15:37.760 He was in the basement.
00:15:39.060 They had this bizarre, remember the inauguration?
00:15:41.820 They had the big circles.
00:15:43.780 They had like five people.
00:15:45.280 Trump had millions.
00:15:46.160 They had like 150 people.
00:15:49.020 We had, remember Real America Sports, we're standing on the, we're standing, we got that
00:15:52.500 beautiful space on top of the One America, and I look out, I go, where in the hell is
00:15:57.860 everybody?
00:15:58.380 And they go, oh, they're all in masks, and you know, they only had 50 flags.
00:16:01.820 Remember they put the flags?
00:16:02.720 And the flags, and they now say, after four years, and of course, four weeks after Election
00:16:08.840 Day, that he was never the president.
00:16:10.800 This is the type of scandal, it's kind of like call BS on him.
00:16:13.900 You guys have known this for years.
00:16:15.300 You didn't want to report it.
00:16:17.060 It has national security consequences.
00:16:19.480 They should have called the 25th Amendment.
00:16:20.840 The reason they do this, the reason they do this is that they can, so that they can
00:16:24.780 go back, and when the investigations do begin, they can say, oh, no, no, no, we reported
00:16:30.260 it.
00:16:30.500 See, it's right here.
00:16:31.480 You can pull up the article.
00:16:32.640 It's right there.
00:16:33.240 It's called Ben Smithing.
00:16:34.320 It's called Ben Smithing.
00:16:35.300 It's called Ben Smithing.
00:16:35.620 You drop a thing, they say, oh, we reported this a long time ago.
00:16:39.240 Well, I'll tell you who did report it first.
00:16:41.000 It was Steve Bannon.
00:16:42.140 It was the War Room.
00:16:43.340 It was Human Events Daily.
00:16:44.540 It was real America's voice.
00:16:46.300 We said it for years.
00:16:47.900 They called us liars.
00:16:49.080 They said we didn't have any sources, that we didn't have anything going on.
00:16:52.260 I'll tell you what, now they're all finally catching up to where we were.
00:16:55.580 I tell you who had the best sources and gave the best stuff.
00:16:58.040 If you go back and track what he said, which Jack Posobiec and your sources in the White
00:17:02.180 House, Posobiec would send me the stuff where he puts it off.
00:17:05.000 I go, Jack, bro, is this right?
00:17:07.360 He goes, yeah, I got it.
00:17:08.880 I got it.
00:17:09.420 It's hard.
00:17:09.840 He put it off.
00:17:10.740 I go, man, but if you go back and track that, it's basically what that story said.
00:17:14.180 And the national security apparatus was very concerned that they didn't want anything.
00:17:19.580 The national security apparatus, all the things about Ukraine, the fact that Kamala Harris
00:17:24.600 would be switched out, the fact that the shade war between Kamala Harris and Jill Biden, and
00:17:30.040 that Jill Biden was truly the one who was running the White House.
00:17:34.300 That's, come on, guys, you know, that look Jill Biden gave Trump at Notre Dame.
00:17:39.040 Come on, man.
00:17:40.100 We all know.
00:17:40.940 I got, like I said, I got three ex-wives and none of them ever looked like that.
00:17:45.200 Joe, Joe, you better start fixing stuff, man.
00:17:49.460 It's just not acceptable.
00:17:50.560 In church, no less.
00:17:52.360 Terrible.
00:17:53.240 We'll be right back, folks.
00:17:54.720 There's a crooked deal there in the White House.
00:17:55.280 Steven K. Batten, the New Year's strategy session on Human Events Daily.
00:17:59.680 When I'm working long hours, I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:18:18.360 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back.
00:18:21.060 Human Events Daily, New Year's strategy session with the professor himself, Steven K. Bannon.
00:18:27.740 Now, Steve, we've been talking about media right now, but there's another aspect of threats
00:18:34.560 that we want to look at, and I want to talk about the enemy within, the enemy within.
00:18:41.140 And, Steve, here's my contention, is that I'm not just talking about threats inside the
00:18:48.080 U.S. borders.
00:18:49.260 I'm not just talking about the Democrats.
00:18:51.840 I'm not even just talking about the rhinos, Steve.
00:18:54.200 I'm talking about the threats to come from within the administration itself.
00:19:00.520 Well, you know, President Trump, there's two and a half million civilian employees,
00:19:06.560 there's about two and a half million military, there's roughly five million contractors,
00:19:10.900 so there's 10 million people, essentially, right?
00:19:14.120 On that, you get 4,000, as we talked about, 3,000 of your own people, then 1,000 have to
00:19:19.740 be Senate confirmed, and that's where Mitch McConnell, this is this fiasco, this is why I
00:19:23.880 give President Trump the cabinet he deserves.
00:19:27.060 Now, when we went in the first time in 16, I had Mike Flynn went down and got the national
00:19:32.780 security accounts.
00:19:33.700 I said, let's get an org chart.
00:19:35.340 Mike comes back.
00:19:36.560 General Flynn comes back, and he's got these stacks of stuff, this wide and this thick.
00:19:40.300 I said, Mike, I didn't want the whole national security apparatus.
00:19:43.160 I didn't want the Defense Department, just the NSC.
00:19:45.700 He goes, Steve, this is just the NSC.
00:19:47.240 Now, when I was in the Pentagon as a naval officer back in the 80s, they had 30 guys
00:19:52.640 in the NSC.
00:19:53.440 Here, he had 292.
00:19:55.660 Of the 292, only 30 would be appointed, 30 to 50 would be appointed as a President Trump.
00:20:02.480 The other 250 are interagency, and this is the problem.
00:20:06.380 The administrative state and the deep state at every aspect is embedded.
00:20:11.120 I mean, this is who runs the apparatus.
00:20:12.880 And remember, folks, of the names he's talking about, the 250, within those names included
00:20:19.160 Eric Charamella and both Vindman brothers last time around.
00:20:25.560 And so my question, Steve, is this, I believe, is actually going to be the greatest threat
00:20:32.080 that the administration faces from day one, and not just day one, by the way, right now.
00:20:37.260 Right now, this is the threat.
00:20:39.180 You talk about what cash has to go through, FBI, and also with the Justice Department.
00:20:43.780 We clearly got to get back to the Fed's direction, all that.
00:20:46.180 But one of the biggest things we have to do is there has to be a thorough and complete
00:20:50.160 investigation of the national security apparatus when it talks about intelligence.
00:20:55.420 The intelligence, look, the intelligence apparatus in this country has been out of control
00:21:00.800 since while Bill Donovan, you know, turned it over and turned it into the CIA when the
00:21:05.580 Ivy League guys took it over.
00:21:07.200 It was so out of control.
00:21:08.580 They had to have a special Senate and House committee set up after investigations in the
00:21:14.440 80s because the thing was assassinating guys all over the world.
00:21:18.340 And as Bobby Kennedy will tell you, it's still an open question about what the involvement
00:21:23.000 was in the intelligence apparatus in the assassination of President Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther
00:21:30.060 King, Malcolm X.
00:21:31.680 You can go down even shooting George Wallace, right?
00:21:33.980 You have no idea what these guys did.
00:21:36.260 That is.
00:21:36.620 And whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:21:38.600 One more name.
00:21:39.200 I'm going to add Donald J. Trump.
00:21:42.620 Let's talk about that.
00:21:44.200 Because there's something that does something not right about Bill.
00:21:47.240 These files, ladies and gentlemen, I don't think they should wait.
00:21:51.540 I say release the JFK and the CIA assassination files day one.
00:21:58.760 Well, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X.
00:22:00.860 I want them all everything.
00:22:02.060 Look, what President Trump can do to take the power away from the deep state is what you do
00:22:07.060 is the first thing you do is take away their classification capability.
00:22:09.760 Look, look, one of the first things he should do is the 51 who bald-faced lied about the laptop
00:22:15.620 from hell.
00:22:16.420 I saw that in July of 2020.
00:22:18.540 There's no doubt that that was CCP and stuff dealing with Ukraine.
00:22:22.640 But with those 51 that sat there and said it was Russian influence, they should be stripped
00:22:27.320 of their security clearances day one, which they make their living.
00:22:30.440 And I would take all the retirement and let them come and sew us, right?
00:22:34.440 Let them spend days.
00:22:35.120 Now, Steve, but Steve, there's another piece to that.
00:22:37.900 And this is why, see folks in Navy Intel parlance, this is the difference between a SWO and an Intel
00:22:43.820 guy and the SWO says, I'll take care of it.
00:22:46.440 That's between a real naval officer and a tin can driver over here.
00:22:51.500 Somebody's on a staff.
00:22:52.820 Too many salt bubbles in the bloodstream over here.
00:22:54.840 And the Intel guy says, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:22:59.680 That's not just 51 Intel agents or 51 associates.
00:23:04.640 That's 51 potential informants who can tell us exactly who it was that asked them to put
00:23:14.320 together the letter, who it was in the Biden administration or the incoming Biden campaign.
00:23:20.040 And oh, by the way, what I keep hearing again and again and again was that the name of the
00:23:26.900 individual who asked that that letter be circulated and be put together acting in a private capacity
00:23:34.500 went to the Intel agents, asked them to do this, which by the way, Steve, correct me if
00:23:39.720 I'm wrong, but lying about that is a federal offense.
00:23:43.420 That's what Alvin Bragg told me campaign finance violation used to cover up another crime.
00:23:48.480 That's a federal, so that's a felony.
00:23:50.720 The guy who orchestrated all of that was named Anthony Blinken.
00:23:55.900 Okay.
00:23:57.000 Now, this is my point.
00:23:58.780 This is why it has to be an official investigation.
00:24:02.060 This has to be under all kind of rules of evidence.
00:24:04.380 We have to have complete transparency because this is going to go to the rot in this government.
00:24:08.500 We can never allow this to happen again.
00:24:10.800 This is a vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump and his followers.
00:24:15.380 It's obvious, but it has to be in the complete.
00:24:18.040 The American people have to see the receipts and they have to know the receipts are legitimate.
00:24:22.320 Once we do that, we've broken them forever.
00:24:24.940 This is why they're so crazy to keep control.
00:24:27.800 This is why they're doing everything right now to make sure President Trump can't be successful
00:24:31.440 after a sweeping victory.
00:24:32.940 You think they believe in democracy?
00:24:34.600 Do you honestly think that they're going to sit there and say, this is great.
00:24:38.420 MAGA turned out.
00:24:39.420 You knocked on all doors.
00:24:40.720 You walked around.
00:24:41.440 You had an election integrity.
00:24:42.580 Guys, you got us licked, huh?
00:24:44.080 You're the keys, guys.
00:24:45.840 Just take it and just you drive it.
00:24:47.200 No way.
00:24:48.220 They're going to fight us every step of the way, including, I think they're going to do
00:24:52.160 some nefarious things between now and the time.
00:24:54.200 Well, right here.
00:24:55.440 Who knows?
00:24:56.140 You look at the logic of this.
00:24:57.540 It makes no sense what happened in Butler.
00:25:00.040 If you're 12 independent security failures that occurred from the Secret Service that did not
00:25:06.340 have the proper budgeting, the proper resources, or agents with the proper training, they had
00:25:12.340 a female agent who had only been out of the academy for two years running the entire field
00:25:19.340 operation in Butler on the same day, on the same day, and we detail this in Bulletproof,
00:25:25.920 that a trained marksman with malicious intent decides to take out President Trump.
00:25:32.780 People look to me and they say, oh, that was 12 failures, and you go to the House report
00:25:37.300 and I say, that's 12 failures.
00:25:38.760 I say, no, that was an operation.
00:25:43.560 Insight.
00:25:44.080 Well, here's what I think the American people need to show them, that it wasn't an inside
00:25:50.840 job, and that's what we have to investigate, because I think they have questions.
00:25:53.600 Look, we still don't know about the Kennedy.
00:25:57.340 RFK has said one of the things he wants to do is open all the files on his father, not
00:26:01.580 just open the files.
00:26:03.200 There's other questions you can go back and start asking now to do a forensic.
00:26:07.260 We don't really know about the, all the assassinations in the 60s seem a little odd, right?
00:26:12.680 RFK seems very odd.
00:26:14.320 Oswald seems odd.
00:26:15.640 Martin Luther King seems odd.
00:26:17.520 Malcolm X seems odd.
00:26:18.940 None of it makes sense, right, to all these guys who get shot down, these world leaders.
00:26:23.840 That's why you have to show the American people what happened and commit that it can never happen
00:26:28.840 again.
00:26:29.840 Steve, I'll say it right now, and I'm going to be at the inauguration, and my family will
00:26:35.500 be at the inauguration, but I remember, I remember Disrupt J20, which was led by Antifa
00:26:43.520 all the way back 2016, 2017.
00:26:46.580 They attack our deplorable of bufureic acid.
00:26:49.620 They went and did everything they could to shut that down.
00:26:52.080 Then they attacked the inauguration itself.
00:26:55.540 And let me ask you this.
00:26:57.620 Now suggest bad actors, here we are eight years later, inauguration, open air, massive
00:27:05.980 National Mall, and you combine with all of that the rise and the threat of drone warfare
00:27:13.240 at the inauguration with the drone situation that we've seen.
00:27:17.380 I'm convinced it's a government psyop, by the way, to get you to think that it's normal
00:27:22.320 to have the drones up there.
00:27:23.920 And then suddenly, when you see them over the inauguration, you won't be looking out.
00:27:28.780 These folks in New Jersey, okay, this is not rabid MAGA.
00:27:34.200 These are citizens of New Jersey.
00:27:36.500 Most of them are Democrats.
00:27:37.920 What's going on in New Jersey makes absolutely no sense.
00:27:40.940 Why the United States government, spending a trillion dollars in defense, can't tell you
00:27:45.300 in those airspace exactly what's going on over your house.
00:27:48.140 And I agree with you.
00:27:49.240 Having an inauguration, open air, where you've teed it up, that what's happening in New Jersey,
00:27:54.620 it seems kind of odd, doesn't it?
00:27:56.500 Don't worry about it.
00:27:57.400 Remember, lawful activity.
00:27:58.700 That's what we got from Kirby.
00:28:00.160 So Kirby gets out there and says, lawful activity, nothing to see here.
00:28:03.000 Don't worry about it.
00:28:04.100 No, no, we can't confirm who it is.
00:28:06.160 It's obviously U.S.
00:28:07.440 It's obviously got U.S. government backing.
00:28:10.280 The drones clearly have U.S. government backing.
00:28:12.980 They're lying, and more than likely than not, what they're doing is they're testing sensor
00:28:18.320 packages.
00:28:19.340 They're testing A.I. targeting.
00:28:21.400 They're testing A.I. sensors over our own homes, over our own backyards, over our children
00:28:27.660 at school.
00:28:28.420 It is very clear to me that that's what's going on with these drones.
00:28:31.820 Well, look, the one thing they want you, if nothing else, is to be anxious, never to
00:28:35.420 be comfortable, always be off your game, never have any comfort at all.
00:28:39.420 This is why we have to shatter, and we have one shot with President Trump.
00:28:43.820 You have to shatter the deep state.
00:28:45.640 The national security apparatus around that, the intelligence apparatus that turns inward
00:28:50.140 to America and then goes overseas for color revolutions, we have to gut that.
00:28:54.460 The framers of our Constitution, the revolutionary generation, they warned us.
00:28:59.880 They warned us about a standing army like this.
00:29:02.500 They warned us about a big security apparatus.
00:29:04.560 And they warned us about going overseas looking for monsters to slay.
00:29:07.320 We were warned, what, 10 generations ago that this was happening.
00:29:11.620 We have to put a stake in the beast in this term of President Trump.
00:29:15.220 That's exactly right, Steve.
00:29:16.760 And it's not about 10 generations ago.
00:29:19.000 It's about the warning they had for us today, right now, in this time and in this place.
00:29:25.460 Because, look, we were given the United States of America, but it will not be ours forever.
00:29:31.820 And I talked about this in the speech, that one day we are going to hand it on to the next generation,
00:29:36.940 and they are going to hand it on to their generation.
00:29:39.600 And our duty, our solemn and sacred duty, is to restore this country to the republic that it was always meant to be,
00:29:48.400 not a global empire, but a nation state that is made for the people of this country,
00:29:54.680 and not for foreign interests, not for multinationals, not for any of those moneyed interests,
00:30:00.240 but for the people who live and die with their blood, sweat, and tears for this land.
00:30:04.860 They're called American citizens, right?
00:30:25.980 And Jack, where is Jack?
00:30:29.020 Where is Jack?
00:30:31.320 Where is he?
00:30:32.700 Jack, I want to see you.
00:30:34.860 Great job, Jack.
00:30:37.920 Thank you.
00:30:38.680 What a job you do.
00:30:40.080 You know, we have an incredible thing.
00:30:41.480 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys,
00:30:45.120 and these are the guys who will be getting Pulisic.
00:30:48.040 All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are back here.
00:30:50.400 The New Year Strategy Session, Human Events Daily, live recording at AmericaFest, day three.
00:30:58.240 Ladies and gentlemen, we know that victory has not yet been achieved,
00:31:02.760 and we know that the enemy always gets a vote, and someone who has always been entirely focused like a laser beam itself on the enemy and their intentions is Frank Gaffney, and he joins us now.
00:31:19.320 Thank you.
00:31:19.840 Frank, tell us, tell us, what is keeping you up at night?
00:31:24.560 What do you see down the horizon?
00:31:26.140 What's down the war path?
00:31:28.220 Well, you guys gave us plenty of food for thought, but let me just add to it.
00:31:32.400 My profound concern, ladies and gentlemen, is that the enemies of our country, enemies, yes, domestic, but also foreign,
00:31:44.120 have in mind creating chaos in this country between now and the 20th of January.
00:31:52.560 Their objective, I feel strongly, is to create enough chaos as to jeopardize the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
00:32:06.820 And let's face it, they've got plenty of reason for him not to want to get into office again if they've been monitoring Steve Bannon's program,
00:32:17.660 to say nothing of Jack Posobiec's, whether you're a Chinese Communist People's Liberation Army personnel unit in America,
00:32:28.580 and by some estimates there are tens of thousands of them, or your jihadists, like the 70,000 to 100,000 Taliban that we brought here from Afghanistan,
00:32:42.460 legally, to say nothing of the countless thousands of others who came in illegally.
00:32:47.380 Well, and Dr. Gaffney, before we go off on that point right now, it is starting to look like,
00:32:53.240 and as we record this, yesterday there was a horrific jihadist attack in a German Christmas market over in Germany.
00:33:01.840 They found the guy's social media postings, and this is amazing.
00:33:06.020 Have you seen this guy?
00:33:06.760 See, in English, he was posting that not all Muslims are radical, and he even posted posts about AFD,
00:33:14.460 and he said he supported them, and the German nationalists, and we've got to reduce immigration, he supports Elon Musk,
00:33:20.240 and then they went over to his Arabic posts, and in the Arabic posts, full-on support for ISIS, full-on support for jihad.
00:33:28.940 This was an ISIS-Islamic radical attack in Germany.
00:33:34.860 And they're here, and they have in mind doing the same thing to us if they can.
00:33:39.760 The point is, we need your help.
00:33:43.180 We need the help of the AmFest community, but Americans across this country to have awareness of what can happen here.
00:33:53.340 What is, I believe, the plan, which is for, you know, any one of these bad actors to try to do something horrible.
00:34:03.360 I don't know.
00:34:04.200 Maybe it's the grid.
00:34:05.260 Maybe it's cyber warfare.
00:34:06.560 Maybe it's assassinations.
00:34:08.980 Maybe it's sabotage more generally, but whatever it is, there will be a piling on taking place.
00:34:14.100 So your job is, first of all, to become knowledgeable about what is going down here, or can.
00:34:22.540 But secondly, we need your help in crowdsourcing the awareness of what is, in fact, happening.
00:34:30.960 There was a guy, as you may have heard, who was whacked in New York City, a big executive in UnitedHealth.
00:34:39.240 The fellow that we think did it wasn't caught by surveillance cameras, or by the FBI, or by any other law enforcement official.
00:34:50.680 It was a guy flipping burgers in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
00:34:55.740 That's crowdsourcing.
00:34:57.280 We need the American people alive to this danger and getting engaged.
00:35:02.940 We need your help.
00:35:04.140 Real quickly, one of the reasons I'm very concerned about this, even the Biden regime has admitted,
00:35:10.220 in the infrastructure in our country, which you've warned about, the infrastructure we built in the country now,
00:35:14.820 from the grid to the water systems to telecommunications, all of it,
00:35:19.380 the Chinese Communist Party is already deeply embedded just in the infrastructure itself.
00:35:23.620 It would take very little for those guys to actually want to cause chaos in this country.
00:35:27.820 You can't make this up, folks.
00:35:29.320 Just a fun fact to know and tell.
00:35:31.900 There are 400 high-voltage transformers making up the backbone of the electric grid on which we depend,
00:35:42.220 manufactured in China, with known back doors to take them down.
00:35:48.800 We can't have that.
00:35:49.660 Frank Gaffney, folks.
00:35:51.140 Frank Gaffney.
00:35:51.800 Thank you for coming up here.
00:35:52.960 Thank you for being a part here to take part in this.
00:35:56.220 By the way, Steve, something that he mentioned just there about Luigi Maggioni,
00:36:01.200 the guy who was targeted in this.
00:36:04.640 We wrote a whole book about this, Steve.
00:36:06.660 We wrote a whole book about the threats that are coming.
00:36:09.860 And let me tell you something.
00:36:10.720 The Antifa model, the BLM model, the riot model, that's not what they're moving towards anymore.
00:36:17.140 What they're moving towards now is the direct assassination model.
00:36:22.320 This will be the model of Thomas Matthew Crooks or the model of a self-radicalized, as they say,
00:36:28.200 or online radicalized type like Luigi Maggioni.
00:36:31.960 But I will ask you this.
00:36:33.620 Why do we still think that Luigi Maggioni did this by himself?
00:36:36.780 How did he know that the CEO would be walking down the street in that hotel at that time?
00:36:44.120 Did he really have all of that information by himself?
00:36:47.620 Or was he working with others?
00:36:49.480 Or did somebody give him that information?
00:36:52.760 We wrote a whole book explaining that there are radicals in this country.
00:36:57.120 And I hate to say it, ladies and gentlemen,
00:36:58.760 But it's a system that's been used in country after country for hundreds of years.
00:37:04.660 It is called the Marxist playbook.
00:37:07.500 It happened in France.
00:37:08.360 It happened in Spain.
00:37:09.160 It happened in Russia.
00:37:10.020 It happened in China.
00:37:11.160 And, ladies and gentlemen, it's happening right now.
00:37:13.360 And go look.
00:37:14.780 The fans of Luigi Maggioni will become the street assassins of tomorrow.
00:37:21.040 Tell me.
00:37:21.920 Here's what I'm saying on this.
00:37:23.560 How can they possibly say, how many shots did the guy get off?
00:37:26.000 Eight?
00:37:26.240 Eight.
00:37:26.760 Eight shots in how long?
00:37:28.680 Eight shots in just about less than three minutes.
00:37:31.160 No, eight shots in like 30 seconds when he started shooting.
00:37:35.280 But my point is, how did he get those shots off with all the secret service and everything around him
00:37:39.820 that he wasn't taken out after the first or second shot?
00:37:42.520 It's impossible for this guy just to kind of arrive at the thing.
00:37:46.120 The secret service.
00:37:46.400 It makes no sense how he got up there.
00:37:48.220 It makes no sense.
00:37:49.400 It's from here to that rising down there, right?
00:37:53.240 It's impossible to be that close to the president.
00:37:55.960 It's impossible to be that close to get as many shots off.
00:37:59.420 We talk about something in this book in Bulletproof called the Pac-Man Perimeter.
00:38:03.840 Have you heard about this one yet?
00:38:04.920 The Pac-Man Perimeter.
00:38:06.060 Because I don't know if folks know about this.
00:38:08.080 I didn't really get a chance to do interviews with Steve on this book because he was otherwise occupied when all this went down.
00:38:14.360 The Pac-Man Perimeter refers to when President Trump was speaking, this is the center.
00:38:19.320 And I've been out to Butler twice now.
00:38:21.100 Once before the rally, but once just by myself and brought the kids and everything, as you do.
00:38:26.260 And you draw a circle around where the principal is standing.
00:38:31.180 And that should be your perimeter.
00:38:33.280 And you measure that based on essentially the range of, say, an AR-15 or an AK-47, something like that.
00:38:42.020 But it just so happens that the perimeter that day established by the Secret Service,
00:38:46.980 and we've got the perimeter in the back of the book here in the appendix,
00:38:50.360 had a V-notch cut out of it exactly where the AGR building was standing.
00:38:56.540 Exactly where the gunman was had been cut out of the perimeter.
00:39:02.620 So the perimeter was deliberately shortened at that very spot.
00:39:07.120 Not a single person has explained this.
00:39:09.620 Not the current head of the Secret Service.
00:39:11.980 And don't think for a second that this woman, Kimberly Cheadle,
00:39:16.100 thinks that she can just walk away from something like this and resign.
00:39:20.440 And I say, no.
00:39:21.680 Kimberly, pack your bags.
00:39:23.120 You're coming back to Washington, D.C., because we have a lot of questions that need answers.
00:39:28.280 Is there any doubt in your mind after what happened there that Divine Providence, for the second time,
00:39:34.940 Divine Providence guided us to the 16th victory, correct?
00:39:39.280 Right?
00:39:39.600 It had to be.
00:39:40.200 I was there.
00:39:40.880 We had a plane, a man, and a message.
00:39:42.700 That was it.
00:39:43.700 Right?
00:39:43.940 And, of course, you that heard that message respond.
00:39:46.980 And then the big steal, them stealing it, was also Divine Providence,
00:39:51.400 because that's where we really saw what they were going to do to this country.
00:39:53.660 There's no more Democrats and Republicans.
00:39:56.500 These are neo-Marxist, globalist elite that want to destroy this country.
00:40:00.660 The third time at Divine Providence is that day in Butler.
00:40:03.700 If President Trump hadn't turned it by, because the Secret Service wasn't protecting him,
00:40:07.500 hell, we don't even know who inside the U.S. government was working with this guy.
00:40:11.700 Right?
00:40:11.920 It's a probability.
00:40:13.540 Or who inside that crowd was in communication with Thomas Matthew Crooks.
00:40:21.440 And, just like January 6th, whether or not confidential human sources, intelligence assets,
00:40:28.980 were being worked in that crowd.
00:40:30.680 We'll be right back.
00:40:31.340 President Trump is an instrument of Divine Providence.
00:40:34.960 Jack is a great guy.
00:40:48.940 He's written a fantastic book.
00:40:50.580 Everybody's talking about it.
00:40:51.820 Go get it.
00:40:52.980 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
00:40:56.900 And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again.
00:41:00.080 Amen.
00:41:00.440 Of all the things that are facing with us here in the last segment, as we close out,
00:41:06.660 as we look forward to 2025, what is top of mind for Steve Bannon?
00:41:12.140 What is the number one thing or set of priorities that you're looking at?
00:41:16.160 Well, look, the $40 trillion in debt, you know, we hammer that every day on the war room.
00:41:20.220 But President, think about it.
00:41:22.480 He's got three things immediately, besides the pardons and all the stuff we're talking about
00:41:28.020 and going off the deep state with a nest of vipers still around him.
00:41:32.060 And on the debt, Scott Besson is working on that already.
00:41:35.620 So we're doing, the debt's going to be huge and all the fights we're going to be.
00:41:39.300 But he's got to, you know, that's his day job.
00:41:42.600 What he's got to do as a side hustle is stop the kinetic part of the Third World War.
00:41:47.500 You know, Karen Sigmund's out here in the audience.
00:41:49.760 The group does a fantastic job on that.
00:41:52.520 But he's got that.
00:41:53.720 And we've got to deport 15 million people.
00:41:56.800 Think of the scale of these problems.
00:41:58.820 You've got a war now between 1939 and when the Wehrmacht started heading into Russia
00:42:06.840 in June of 1941, in that year and a half, there was not 1.7 million people killed or injured.
00:42:17.400 This war in Ukraine is at a mass scale.
00:42:20.340 And the media only shows you a part of it.
00:42:22.600 If you talk to President Trump when he's down in Mar-a-Lago talking, it's had a big impact on him
00:42:27.760 because he knows if the election wasn't stolen, that Putin would have never invaded.
00:42:32.680 And so it's had a personal, you can tell it personally affects him.
00:42:34.980 You've got a million Ukrainians dead or wounded.
00:42:37.340 You've got 700,000 Russian troops.
00:42:39.520 President Trump's got to stop that now with Russia kind of on a roll.
00:42:43.100 I just had a German reporter do an interview.
00:42:45.400 He's up in my grill saying, what is America going to do when Kiev falls?
00:42:49.700 I go, look, dude, if you hadn't stolen the thing from us, they wouldn't even be in, you know,
00:42:55.280 they'd still be in the Donbass.
00:42:56.600 They wouldn't even be coming across to the Nepal River.
00:42:58.800 Well, let me respond to that because, look, this was the message that came out.
00:43:03.860 So when Tucker went over and spoke to Lavrov, right, obviously that was intended from the Kremlin
00:43:08.760 as a way to back-channel a message to President Trump, all right?
00:43:12.800 And that was a message to Trump through Tucker.
00:43:15.720 But the message was this.
00:43:17.020 The message was this.
00:43:18.460 We're willing to talk, but we're not going to talk forever.
00:43:23.180 I mean, this is the point.
00:43:24.480 President Trump has got engaged.
00:43:25.840 The Russians have been pretty straightforward in what they're going to do.
00:43:28.940 My fear is they go all the way to the Nepal River, and then President Trump's jammed up right at the beginning.
00:43:34.200 They may even try to take Kiev.
00:43:35.740 By the way, Steve, what's the name of the river that Kiev is on?
00:43:38.760 Oh, the Nepal River.
00:43:40.120 Oh, it's the Nepal River.
00:43:40.580 Yeah, yeah.
00:43:41.040 So they'll get right there.
00:43:43.220 That's probably—and then look in the Middle East.
00:43:45.720 I mean, you've got Syria collapse on Biden's regime.
00:43:48.520 You've got the Persians.
00:43:49.480 Now, remember, for years they told you President Trump's an idiot.
00:43:52.800 He's a radical.
00:43:53.540 He doesn't know what he's doing.
00:43:54.580 He was trying to keep the Persians from getting weapons-grade plutonium.
00:43:58.780 And now they're talking about, well, I think they may be able to get a nuclear-grade weapon material in two weeks.
00:44:03.660 Look, what's going on in Syria is very simple.
00:44:06.060 It is the Persians versus the Ottomans of the modern age, and the Ottomans just won the last round.
00:44:14.000 Hey, by the way, I couldn't think of two better groups that go at it, right?
00:44:18.040 Have at it, boys.
00:44:19.500 Have at it.
00:44:20.620 We'll watch CNN.
00:44:21.800 There's 2,000 American combat troops in there now.
00:44:25.300 These people are crazy.
00:44:26.460 Wait, wait, wait.
00:44:26.760 I thought it was just 900.
00:44:27.920 Where are you getting 2,000 from?
00:44:29.080 No, no, no.
00:44:30.440 You hear this?
00:44:31.640 They actually had to come out just in the last 24 hours and readjust that number.
00:44:37.820 They said, you know, we report 900.
00:44:39.260 Kirby comes out, and then Panicom puts out a statement.
00:44:41.480 Actually, it's 2,000.
00:44:42.480 The Secretary of the Army put out a tweet the other day saying 113,000 troops deployed to 125 countries.
00:44:50.700 It doesn't include the Navy, the carry battle groups.
00:44:52.840 It doesn't include the airmen.
00:44:54.500 It doesn't include the Marines.
00:44:55.440 We added up 150,000 troops deployed to about 150 countries.
00:45:00.460 Look, folks, we can't afford it.
00:45:02.560 We don't want to be sticking our nose to every business.
00:45:04.300 We're not isolationists.
00:45:05.800 This madness.
00:45:06.540 And so that's President Trump's kind of part of his night gig.
00:45:11.940 The other is, think about the scale of this, 15 million illegal aliens.
00:45:17.620 Now they're talking about it's going to take a trillion dollars to send everybody home, right?
00:45:21.000 So these are monumental in the scale of them, in the logistics and how they have to thread.
00:45:27.180 And you saw the incompetence of Washington.
00:45:29.040 Look, they can't even get a CR that's two lines long kicked into when President Trump comes,
00:45:36.240 unless it's 1,500 pages that got a pay raise, that thinks a fiasco, the whole thing melts down.
00:45:41.740 They can't walk and chew gum, and they want President Trump to end the Third World War,
00:45:46.280 to deport 15 million illegal aliens.
00:45:49.220 Oh, by the way, can you please save us from the $40 trillion of debt that we put on the balance sheet?
00:45:54.300 So this is what you guys have to have is back, folks, because this is going to be the most intense year,
00:46:01.240 I think, in the history of the country of just the people saying with Washington,
00:46:05.920 hey, we backed our guy.
00:46:07.840 He got a shot in the head, right?
00:46:09.840 He took a shot to the head.
00:46:10.860 Only God saved him.
00:46:12.780 Four months later, he had a sweeping landslide that you guys delivered.
00:46:16.640 You don't want to hear any more crap.
00:46:18.220 We want to get the cabinet that he wants, he gets.
00:46:20.680 And based on the policies he wants, he gets to, the fight's on.
00:46:24.560 It is the first year.
00:46:26.240 It is the first year that sets the tone for the entire term.
00:46:32.700 If you can win the first year, you win all the rest.
00:46:36.980 No more playing catch-up.
00:46:38.540 No more sitting around and waiting for things to happen.
00:46:41.500 I want the mass firings to start day one.
00:46:44.720 I want the peace deals to go in day one.
00:46:47.400 The pardons go in day one.
00:46:49.060 And the mass deportations begin day one, hour one.
00:46:54.400 With the pardons.
00:46:57.840 Instead of backing down, we're going to double down.
00:47:00.980 Instead of retreat, we're going to fix bayonets and we're going to advance.
00:47:04.620 No more surrender.
00:47:06.100 Nothing but fight, fight, fight.
00:47:10.220 Steve, I remember you and I were talking about it a couple weeks ago.
00:47:13.340 But in World War I, when they were in the trenches and the French soldiers were sitting there and they knew the German soldiers were on the other side.
00:47:21.800 And they knew that the fate of Europe laid in the balance and they heard that the Americans were coming.
00:47:28.040 They said, up and over the top.
00:47:30.640 That is us this year.
