00:01:14.940 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to The Great America Show. Great to have you with us and

00:01:23.120 happy, happy new year. Well, America is a mess right now, obviously. And the Biden regime and

00:01:31.580 the Marxist Dem Party, well, they're all combining and colluding to destroy this country. We have a 0.94

00:01:38.480 new Speaker of the House who seems to be cut from the same cloth as the last one. And we have a

00:01:43.460 president who doesn't even know where he is. It's a real mess, folks. Our guest today to take up these

00:01:49.920 political issues, cultural issues in this country right now, the great Steve Bannon. Steve, good to

00:01:55.200 have you with us here on The Great America Show. Thank you. Love the show. Love the audience.

00:02:00.720 Well, thank you very much. And same back at you. Let's start with 702, a confused House of Representatives

00:02:09.320 that is confusing the rest of us. Your thoughts about 702 and why this shouldn't be a straight no

00:02:18.540 immediately from the Republicans.

00:02:21.660 It should. It's disgusting. You know, remember, Lou, for us being fascist and Trump won't be a 0.96

00:02:26.340 dictator. We're the one people that are sitting there throwing down the sand, hey, maybe we shouldn't

00:02:31.460 let the FBI surveil more American citizens. This thing's outrageous. And I think it shows,

00:02:37.260 you know, I love Mike Johnson. I love the biblical worldview. But on this, another example, I think,

00:02:42.860 where he gets the intelligence community around him, he sees some classified reports. The next thing

00:02:46.520 he's going, he's, he's, you know, petrified and allowing this to be still slipped into this awful

00:02:52.220 NDAA, which I might add, has all the woke and weaponized stuff we fought so hard in the committee

00:02:57.860 to get out that when it's passed in July, it's all back in. And now you're going to have slipped

00:03:02.460 into the couple of thousand pages, you're going to have slipped in an authorization or

00:03:07.000 at least a kick down the can to April. But people realize if it goes to April with the

00:03:12.560 FISA, the 702 goes for another year. So it's in the, it's in the 2025, it's into the Trump's

00:03:19.140 return. So I think this thing, it just shows you, even with guys like Jim Jordan, some solid

00:03:23.920 guys that there's just not a sense of urgency. I don't think of a house to be fighters on this

00:03:28.280 thing. And look at the Senate, all the, the BS coming out of the Senate about why we, why we need

00:03:33.080 this. It's, it's just, it's, to me, it's pathetic. I couldn't agree with you more. I have never 0.99

00:03:39.200 seen a Congress in my career that is so blatantly, obviously just confounded and in, and completely

00:03:50.140 without any way to find their way forward to, to supporting their values, their purported values

00:03:57.060 and philosophy of the Republican party.

00:03:59.580 Lou, the war room audience is most of everything you just listed out, what they're all furious

00:04:03.860 about. The thing that most serious about is these guys are leaving on Friday. They're going to leave

00:04:10.060 on, on December 15th. They're not coming back to January 9th. We're 10 days away from the first CR

00:04:17.500 kicking in. Now I'm a person and I was raised and trained in just how I am that if I have important

00:04:25.220 work that needs to be done, I can't take off and go enjoy myself and do something else. I've got to

00:04:29.780 get that done. I've got to focus on that and get it done. Once that's done, then I feel like maybe we

00:04:35.500 take some time off. Maybe we, you know, can go do something. I don't understand these guys. There is

00:04:41.320 no sense of urgency. And this is not like they're small issues. You just, you just named a couple of

00:04:45.980 Republican, you know, the Republic ending thing, the invasion of the Southern border, nine million

00:04:51.920 illegals here costing us a half a trillion dollars a year, which I don't even know is 1.00

00:04:56.260 budgeted for. I think it just continues to run up the tab. This whole debacle in Ukraine, the Ukraine 0.96

00:05:02.320 war is over. Everybody in Europe knows it. They allowed him to come over and true to, and talk to

00:05:07.400 our military directly, address our military, and then, and then meet with the arms manufacturers and

00:05:13.020 then, you know, wander around Congress with a tin cup and then had the beggars bowl out at the 0.88

00:05:18.680 Oval Office, another embarrassment for another $100 billion we don't have. There's so many huge

00:05:23.620 issues and they haven't even addressed with the spending. Remember, the House is still short for

00:05:28.460 appropriations bills, including justice and the FBI, which is going to be one that's a real fight.

00:05:34.240 The Senate, I'm not sure, has passed four or five of them. They're six or seven short. So there's no,

00:05:39.960 when we get back in the ninth, there's going to be another fire drill. There's, there's no chances

00:05:43.960 this thing get solved by the 19th of January or when the second one comes on the 2nd of February.

00:05:49.040 So they're going to talk about another CR or another January, you know, omnibus. And this is all now

00:05:55.080 the fault of leadership. Mike Johnson, who everybody backed when he got in there, it just seems to not

00:06:02.200 understand what this moment's about. And this moment's about a crisis of the American Republic.

00:06:07.720 It can only be addressed with hard work. And I mean hard work that is, you know, six and seven days

00:06:13.760 a week, 18 to 20 hours a day. And our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, would not be offended if you

00:06:21.580 took a couple hours, had a little ceremony in the Capitol on the morning, on Christmas morning,

00:06:28.800 and went back to work, which I think is what has to happen.

00:06:31.500 And I, what do you think the odds are that'll happen?

00:06:35.860 Less than zero, Mr. Doff. Hey, bro, they're leaving. You know, don't, don't get over at Reagan.

00:06:42.300 Don't get in the way of any of these guys leaving town on, on Friday. Cause they're, they'll run over

00:06:46.000 you. Right. They're leaving. They booked the tickets. It's all done. And they're not back.

00:06:50.060 And they're not back to the night. Lou, are you taking, do you take three weeks off for Christmas?

00:06:55.380 Do you take, are we a couple of guys in like Switzerland, the Davos crowd skiing in the Swiss

00:07:02.860 Alps? I've never heard people take three weeks off. Yeah. Only when Klaus Schwab has a sweet book

00:07:08.980 for me and with plenty of advance notice, which hasn't happened for decades. So it's a, it is

00:07:17.660 stunning to me that we are in 2023 in America, and it feels nothing like the country that I have

00:07:27.040 lived in for my entire life. It feels nothing like the Capitol that I've been in and out of,

00:07:35.500 and the, and the officials that are inhabiting it. I see a country that is truly, truly caught in some

00:07:44.380 sort of centrifugal force. And I want to take that up with you. When we come back, we're talking with

00:07:50.000 Steve Bannon, Steve Bannon's war room. We'll be right back. We're back with Steve Bannon and Steve,

00:08:02.360 there seems to be something going on here. Forces at work that I can't identify, but which I feel,

00:08:10.260 which I, and I trust my instincts and my intuition, there are great, great forces at work here that

00:08:19.180 are somehow beyond our vision and somehow beyond our senses to identify. Your thoughts about what is a

00:08:29.100 turbulent, turbulent period of time in our history? We know I've been a big advocate of this concept of

00:08:37.640 called turnings, you know, the, the, the, the, um, cyclical nature of American history. And, uh,

00:08:43.780 it was personified in the book, the fourth turning. I made a movie about it. I don't know,

00:08:48.240 in 2009, so it was 14 years ago called generation zero. You were nice enough to have me on the show

00:08:55.420 when I came out with the film, you and Sean. Um, you know, I just had Tucker on the show for the

00:09:00.880 launch of his new site. And I went back to Tucker's cause I've known Tucker a long time and he's kind of a

00:09:05.880 happy warrior like Andrew Breitbart. They're in the fight, but these guys are very optimistic glass,

00:09:10.840 you know, half full, all that. And he's taken a very darker turn the last six months. So I,

00:09:16.140 his heritage speech, his speech, he's given, and I asked him, I said, look, you've always been a

00:09:20.000 upbeat guy. We're in the subject uplands and you've gotten, you've gotten almost as dark as I've

00:09:24.860 gotten. And he said, he says, listen, he said, the country I knew and loved is now gone and,

00:09:31.000 and fastly receding. I don't know if we can get it back. We probably can't,

00:09:34.280 it's going to be a hard fight. He says, I sense a sense of darkness. He says, I've noticed this

00:09:38.760 even with my friends, the friends that even I've lost in, in being such a, a member of the MAGA

00:09:43.740 movement and, uh, you know, the American firster. And he goes on about this darkness. And I think

00:09:49.600 you're right. There's something out there. And I think this is just the cyclical nature of history,

00:09:53.980 like in Ecclesiastes. We're in a season of darkness and it's upon, it's upon us patriots

00:10:00.680 to now bind together and to kind of make a blood oath and fight our way through here and try to

00:10:06.620 save this Republic. Because if we don't do it and we don't do it now, uh, we're going to lose it

00:10:11.240 forever. What was bequeathed to us from 12 or 13, 14 generations, uh, is going to be lost. And this

00:10:18.000 is the new Jerusalem. It's the most unique country in the history of man. It's done, it freed more

00:10:23.420 people, created more wealth, done more for humanity than any, uh, country in the history of

00:10:28.780 the earth. And we're in a fight for it right now. And I, but I agree with Tucker. There's a,

00:10:32.660 there's a certain darkness out there that is a kind of a brooding specter over us. And it's for us

00:10:39.120 patriots to, uh, to punch through this. I think it's very clear. I don't see the darkness that,

00:10:45.080 that you or Tucker's see what I see is, uh, uh, fearful hearts, uh, on uncertain minds and,

00:10:54.740 and opponents, enemies who are obviously clear.

00:10:59.760 I think, but see, I think you've described it. I think you described that the, the uniparty

00:11:05.500 globalist, um, progressive left is so vicious and so outside the bounds of what has been traditional

00:11:12.700 Americanism that it's that fear. And I think it's in Congress. I think it's a two play. You

00:11:18.480 worked at two of the greatest, you worked at CNN at the top of its game and you worked at Fox at the

00:11:24.140 top of its game and you're seeing it there. And it's one of the things Tucker and I talked about.

00:11:27.180 They're good people. There are many good people in Congress. A lot of them are just flatly afraid.

00:11:33.220 They're afraid of stepping up. They're afraid of having a sense of urgency. They're afraid of being a

00:11:38.000 fighter because they see what happens when you step up at Fox and CNN and other media companies.

00:11:42.700 They're good people there, but they're afraid they're afraid they'll be terminated. They're

00:11:45.580 afraid their career will be run. And when people get into their thirties and forties that they've

00:11:49.600 spent 20 or 30 years getting to these positions, it's, it's, you know, easier said than done.

00:11:55.260 There's not a lot of, you know, Lou Dobbs is a Steve band Tucker crosses says, Hey, screw it.

00:12:00.440 I'll go to some, I'll start a podcast. It'll be just as big. I'm not saying we're particularly brave,

00:12:05.620 but you know, we, I think understand risk and how you try to mitigate it. A lot of people don't

00:12:10.340 know that it is definitely fear, but it's not a, it's not an irrational fear. Look,

00:12:16.640 look what they're going to Trump. Trump, dude, if I told you, if I'd been on your show in 2020

00:12:23.020 and I said, Hey Lou, they're going to steal this thing. We're going to get, Hey Lou,

00:12:27.460 we're going to get 74 million votes. You know, I thought I did a great job. We got 63 and 16.

00:12:32.200 We're going to get 74 million votes, Lou. And we're still going to lose between a combination

00:12:36.440 of the machines or the mail-in ballots. You pick them, but that in a couple of years,

00:12:41.980 Trump's going to be indicted four times on 91 counts, 700 years in prison on criminal charges.

00:12:47.740 They're going to have a show trial, like the Moscow show trials in 1935 in New York and strip him of

00:12:53.300 all the business his family's worked on for generations. And Oh, by the way, they're going

00:12:57.940 to be in nine swing States trying to take him off the ballot. Cause Oh yes, with all this,

00:13:02.480 he's still leading in the polls. You would have said, I've lost my mind that that's not America.

00:13:06.780 It can't happen. It's impossible to happen that that could not happen. That the justice department

00:13:10.780 judges, uh, the States, particularly the Stephen States like Georgia, uh, would never allow that

00:13:16.560 to happen. And yet here we are. And so when people look at that and people look at Mike Lindell

00:13:21.120 and they're trying to put Mike Lindell in banks, you know, Mike Lindell went through a very tough

00:13:25.680 time about a hundred days ago. I mean, to, you know, he came on the show today and said, Hey,

00:13:29.280 he wanted to thank the warden, the Warren posse who really kind of put our shoulder to the wheel.

00:13:32.760 He says, he didn't think he'd be able to pay Christmas bonuses. They're trying to destroy

00:13:36.500 Lindell. They're trying to destroy Trump. If you step out of line ever, ever, uh, at one of these

00:13:43.740 big media companies, you're out and your career is over. If you step out in a corporate, in one

00:13:48.580 of these corporate fortune 500, you're out and gone. You'd be 35 or 40 years old. James O'Keefe gave

00:13:54.220 this speech tonight about this, about fear. And there was an audience, I think it was at the

00:13:59.120 university of, um, I think it was Northwestern or someplace like University of Chicago. There was

00:14:04.080 a young minister. There was about 35, an Episcopalian minister. And he said, look, he says, look, it's

00:14:10.440 easy for you to say, but he says, I am afraid. He says, I'm 42 years old. I got two kids, a wife

00:14:15.120 and a mortgage. If I get fired here, the reason they fire me will be on my record forever. I won't be

00:14:22.120 able to get a job. I won't feed my kids. People have fear and they have fear because our enemies,

00:14:27.680 and that's what they are, have no bounds. They, they're, they are out for the politics of personal

00:14:32.920 destruction. And, uh, and people are fearful. And that's why it's incumbent upon us and others

00:14:37.900 to say, Hey, look, and that's why in Congress, you have a few, you don't have many, you have a few,

00:14:42.800 and that's all we need. We need a few more to say, look, uh, this is Republic ending what they're

00:14:47.800 doing. If we don't stand up now, if we don't fight, we don't stand to breach every day,

00:14:52.540 this is going to be over. And the Republic, this country will still be something.

00:14:57.120 It will still be wealthy. It'll still be powerful, but it will not be the constitutional Republic

00:15:01.200 that was handed down to us and bequeathed to us. And that's why this moment is everything right now.

00:15:06.860 We're going to talk with Steve Bannon about how we've squandered a legacy in this country,

00:15:11.680 which is part of this, uh, this calculus and what has created our current reality. We're also,

00:15:19.720 I want to remind everyone, uh, that there is, uh, that expression, uh, the, uh, politics of personal

00:15:27.260 discretion. We thought it was just a, uh, a relic of the past from Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton,

00:15:34.560 uh, and the Clinton East is, uh, they're the ones who brought that to, to the fore and is a,

00:15:40.260 is a vicious weapon in American politics. Guess what? It's even meaner and nastier and more

00:15:48.200 effective than ever. We're coming right back. Stay with us.

00:15:51.060 We're back with Steve Bannon and Steve, you, you've been, uh, podcasting much longer than me.

00:16:03.080 You've been immensely successful. I can't. Yeah. I'm an old vet. I'm a, I'm an old vet.

00:16:08.660 Lou, you've been doing this. You're 40 years into this. You're the, you're the Dean. Everybody knows

00:16:14.520 it's Trump and I've watched Trump's watching you back in the eighties. I was watching you back when

00:16:18.200 I was a Naval officer. You're, you're the Dean. You're, you're the, you're the mentor when it comes

00:16:22.240 to this. Well, you're very kind. And, and I learned from, uh, from you and, uh, Mr. Trump all the time,

00:16:29.160 but here we go. I feel like I can function to, to be bright and, uh, at times airy and positive

00:16:39.060 is I'm trying to also inform my audience and to give them the, my perspective of what is going on in

00:16:47.040 this country. And there are days I have to say, I don't pull a punch, but maybe I'll just kind of

00:16:52.920 try to land it, uh, a little softer than otherwise. But we are right now I'm running out of ways to

00:16:59.740 avoid the reality, uh, that is, is in point of fact, a reality that is confused, that is often

00:17:07.840 inexplicable. And I think even the best minds, uh, in this country right now are not devoted to solving

00:17:15.740 the problems that are so obvious, uh, whether it is our relationship with, uh, with the people's

00:17:21.800 Republic of China, uh, whether it is Russia, whether it is the middle East, uh, we have people

00:17:28.600 like, uh, Anthony Blinken, uh, Joe Biden, uh, Jake Sullivan. I mean, we have some of the worst talent

00:17:37.200 in the world working on the, the biggest problems. I think that the country has ever faced short of war.

00:17:43.380 I agree with you. I mean, if you look at the team, that's why it's so important. I think for

00:17:47.340 this politics is for the Congress to start getting on top of things and start having extensive urgency

00:17:52.180 and start defunding things. And also for all of us to get our shoulder to the wheel and make sure

00:17:57.220 not only we win 2024, but that we can close the deal. We won last time. It didn't close.

00:18:02.880 We don't have that option now we have to, we have to close the deal. And so I think that that's why

00:18:06.700 all the chips are the table. And I think, and I strongly believe that that's why, you know,

00:18:11.460 from Tucker to, to you, to what we're doing on real America's voice on Lindale TV, all these

00:18:17.320 podcasts, they're, they're, they're so important because you're not getting that information

00:18:22.460 at Fox. You're not getting that information clearly at MSNBC or CNN and even most of the

00:18:27.920 conservative media. So we have a lot of uncertainty. One thing I feel quite comfortable, what I feel

00:18:32.920 good about is that I like who's on our side of the football. Uh, at the end of the day,

00:18:37.960 just like in any sport, it's about not just your plan, your strategy, because that only

00:18:42.180 goes to the first time you get punched in the mouth. As Mike Tyson used to say, you have

00:18:46.880 to have a team. And I like our team. I like the way we're adding to our team. I like when

00:18:50.980 I were doing interviews in the streets of Chicago and you have young African American men that

00:18:55.580 said they've had enough of these illegal alien invaders being dumped into their city to destroy 1.00

00:19:00.120 it. Uh, when you have people in the rear grand Valley, uh, Hispanic Americans who said 0.87

00:19:05.100 they've had enough of this, this invasion of our country. I like who we have. I think

00:19:09.960 we're growing every day. Uh, not only these podcasts getting bigger, but the movement's

00:19:14.800 getting bigger. It's getting more energized and people want action and they're able to

00:19:17.800 call out, uh, even guys that we like and support like Mike Johnson, who's a good man and a Christian

00:19:22.980 man with a great biblical worldview, but you need to get urgent. And, uh, so I like where

00:19:28.820 we are, although I think it's dark and it's going to get a lot darker because I will tell,

00:19:33.600 I tell people, I don't see the deep state in the administrative state welcoming the Trump

00:19:40.360 and the mega movement back to power in January, 2025 with open arms. I just want to be blunt

00:19:46.440 about that. And I think we got to really be prepared for a very, uh, uncertain and crazy

00:19:52.960 2024 the entire year. So let's batten down the hatches.

00:19:57.460 I'm batting down the hatches and full speed ahead. I, I want to talk to you though, as we

00:20:03.520 are wrapping up here, you were part of, uh, you're a big part of the reason that president

00:20:09.480 Trump won the white house in 26, uh, 2016. Uh, you were a big part of, uh, establishing

00:20:17.320 the administration and, and counseling the president. I believe chief strategist was your,

00:20:23.240 uh, your title there. Uh, and, and I, I have to ask you, do you see a way forward in terms

00:20:31.920 of the organization that president Trump has right now? Do you see a way forward,

00:20:36.920 uh, in, in the way the RNC is organized?

00:20:40.300 Well, I think there's two, number one, I think to prepare to take over the administration

00:20:44.120 is you've got the heritage guys with project 2025. You've got Russell, you have other groups

00:20:49.220 that are looking to train up both policy wise and personnel, people that already, not people

00:20:55.420 that we know Trump's got to pick, but people that are the bend of the draft pool that he

00:21:00.200 could pick, uh, for the 3000, uh, political appointees that we can get day one. We have

00:21:06.660 4,000 overall 1000 of Senate confirmed, roughly 3000 can hit the beach right away. That's the

00:21:11.940 control of federal apparatus. It has about 2 million civilian employees, about 2.5 million

00:21:17.560 military, but it also has contractors that, you know, 16 to 18 million. So it's roughly 20 million

00:21:23.220 people in the apparatus. Um, and that I think is going very well. And I think these guys are

00:21:28.520 doing a terrific job. We spent a lot of time with them and I couldn't be more pleased about

00:21:32.800 the depth of quality and thoughtfulness in these programs and new people are coming on

00:21:38.220 every day. We promoted a lot on the show and a lot of people are volunteering and coming

00:21:42.480 forward. The campaign I think right now for a primary is perfectly structured. I think they've

00:21:46.580 done a really good job. It's a very tight group. Uh, president Trump knows his policies.

00:21:51.900 He's doing a lot of policy himself in these speeches, but if you look at the organization

00:21:55.860 in, uh, Iowa and in New Hampshire and in South Carolina, these early States, it's, it looks

00:22:01.260 like it's very well organized. I think even more organized than Corey had in 16. Corey

00:22:05.720 did a terrific job. Um, the over the general campaign are probably going to have to power

00:22:11.000 up. I think president Trump will make that decision at the time when to power up. Now we

00:22:14.960 talk that's outside packs and RNC, the RNC is a disaster. President Trump should call

00:22:20.140 before we had Charlie Kirk on the show today. We're adamant. President Trump's, it's only

00:22:24.100 president Trump can do it. He's got a call for a runner to step down. We have to revamp

00:22:28.180 the RNC immediately. The state parties of Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, these

00:22:33.480 places, these people have very little money, very little organization. They're central, also

00:22:37.860 Georgia, Nevada. We need the, we need the big six to be hitting on all cylinders. That's

00:22:43.140 not happening. They're not raising money. She's got to go. That's a debacle. Um, as far 0.86

00:22:47.680 as the packs go, I, I, I'm not feeling it right now. Uh, I think president Trump's a lot

00:22:53.280 of his time and attention is diverted. Like the, the, like the left wing wanted on this

00:22:58.040 on legal. They're really sucking up his time and his focus. I think we'll power up. I think

00:23:03.580 the right packs will come. I think the donors will finally understand it's going to be Trump.

00:23:07.420 I hope that all comes together in February, March of this coming year. And it's got to come

00:23:13.040 together quickly. You have to get together and put this drive. Look, we've wasted tons

00:23:17.240 of money. I think we're going to end up wasting six or $700 million on these debates in this

00:23:22.400 bogus primary. Uh, but everybody should have the answers. All the donors should have the

00:23:26.060 answers now. Hey, you gave the Santas a shot. You gave Nikki a shot. You gave Christie a shot.

00:23:30.780 You gave Youngkin a quasi shot. None of them got any, uh, traction. It's time to come together

00:23:36.680 back with president Trump. So I'm optimistic in that regard, but there's a lot of work that has

00:23:40.360 to be done. I can see the pieces, the structural pieces, and I see the personnel. I really liked

00:23:45.640 some of the team members we've got. And it's all about, it's all about grinding every day.

00:23:50.300 You're going to have to grind every day between now and five November, 2024, if you want to win.

00:23:55.780 And I mean, 20 hours a day, seven days a week, those people are prepared to do it,

00:24:00.460 particularly given the debacle the country's had, uh, with Biden and the rest of this radical crew,

00:24:05.520 I think good things will happen and good things have to happen because if we don't win,

00:24:09.160 we'll lose the country. Yeah, we, this is the precipice. There is no doubt about it.

00:24:14.700 And, uh, and you've heard it folks, uh, from the man who knows, uh, this is, uh,

00:24:20.660 let me ask one question in closing. Do you have a perfect candidate in mind or a semi-perfect,

00:24:28.440 I'll take even semi-perfect, uh, person in mind, uh, for, uh, to replace Ronna McDaniel?

00:24:34.900 Yeah. I I've got a perfect person. I would put in there right away. I put Don Jr.

00:24:39.240 I think Don Jr. I think Don Jr. Well, number one has his father's confidence. Number two,

00:24:44.460 knows what his father's thinking is. Number three is a huge popular figure among the grassroots and

00:24:50.160 can raise a ton of money among the grassroots. Uh, three is high energy, uh, knows what the mission

00:24:56.040 is. I would put Don Jr. In, in a, in a second, a Kimberly Guilford could be his wingman. I think 1.00

00:25:01.380 we'd be in perfect shape. There's a bunch of others out there, but if you had to ask me,

00:25:05.440 you know, the person I would go to first, I'd ask Don Jr. to do it. Don Jr. would work 24 hours a day,

00:25:12.460 10 days a week to support his father, the love he has for his father and understanding what his

00:25:18.400 father has given up by coming back and doing this again. If Trump had walked away, none of this would

00:25:23.520 have happened. He's now a fight for the family, a fight for the country, uh, and a fight for himself.

00:25:28.900 So I think Don Jr. is my perfect candidate. You know what? Can I sign the petition first? I think

00:25:35.260 it's a great idea. I think you're exactly right. Steve, we appreciate you being with us and, uh,

00:25:41.640 all the very best to you. God bless you and God bless America. I'm your second, I'm your second

00:25:47.880 biggest fan. Your first fan, first biggest fan is president Trump himself. I'm your second biggest.

00:25:52.540 I've watched you for, since the eighties, you're an American institution and we're so lucky to have

00:25:59.480 you still at your age where you could go do anything you want to commit and do the work you do

00:26:05.200 to, uh, to help save this Republic. So thank you. Have a Merry Christmas. Love the show. Um, uh,

00:26:11.280 you and the misses are the best and, um, just, uh, have a great holiday. Great. Well, I want to say
