Well, certainly up until this point from the left and we'll find out what this person's motivations were. So yeah, we will see. Though it's very difficult to have to report that unfortunately, in the same seat about the same time that Charlie Kirk. We had to report Charlie Kirk's assassination as well. Kind of, kind of odd that been quite a year so far, Terence. Good to talk.

Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
All right, folks, again, breaking news we just been talking about. We're staying on. A little over an hour ago, two West Virginia National Guardsmen shot and now killed, confirmed killed in Washington, D.C. just a few blocks from the White House, near the Eisenhower Executive Office Building where many White House staffers work. According to Governor Morrissey of West Virginia, he has confirmed that both victims have died. The Metropolitan Police say a suspect has been taken into custody and the scene is secured. President is not in Washington, D.C. today, folks. He is en route or in Mar a Lago right now. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt says the President has been briefed on the situation. We're going to keep you updated as more news comes out. I want to point out that J.D. vance was in Kentucky talking to a group of military members and again, I'm kind of shell shocked here, so to speak. And that President Trump about 30 minutes ago, now, maybe less than 30 minutes ago, tweeted that they were critically wounded. Critically wounded. It's, it's saying dangerous, but it doesn't sound like they're about to pass away. And J.D. vance actually said, let's see if these guys can get home to their families on Thanksgiving, the news is. Couldn't be worse. Couldn't be worse for this, for this family. All right, I'm gonna do this. Mad Dog, if this is you in the control room, who's in the control room? Let's. Let's find out what we're gonna do here because this turns a little. We got reading. Okay, good. Let's. Let's do this. Let's. We're not going to do the markets today, folks. Let's just. Let's just go right to our first guest, CEO of Relax Strategies. I hope I said it right. Relax or Relax Strategy. And a geopolitical advisor and strategist. Always good to have Rena Shah back with us. Let's stay on this, Rena, for a minute because I just. Wow. Curveball thrown about 10 minutes ago that the two service members, the two Guards National Guardsmen shot now have passed from their injuries. Blown away. You spent a lot of time in DC Arena. Tell us, tell us what you see. And I want to listen. I don't want to speculate because we don't know the motivations of the shooter, of the murderer, of the. Let's call him assassin. We don't know. But we'll get into what maybe why there are more and more people on the right, law enforcement, ICE officers, Trump administration people, Charlie Kirk being shot. What is the motivation? And I would suggest it's the heightened rhetoric coming from the left. And we'll get into that. The seditious six, the six former military members who are now senators and congressmen calling for the military to our people in the military to disobey orders. It just seems like it's a pattern here. Rena, what are your thoughts, your initial thoughts?
- [06:33]
Rena Shah
I have so many thoughts because it's Governor Morrissey who gave that statement, it seems, and that is the governor of West Virginia, my home state. I'm from next door West Virginia, though I've been a D.C. resident resident and been in the Washington, D.C. area about two decades now. Grew up coming here from West Virginia. If those National Guardsmen are from my home state, I am completely struck by this because I know a number of people, whether from growing up my high school, who entered military service voluntarily, but also as a way to do something prideful. They took great pride in their country. These are patriots. These are rural people who believe in loving God and country and. And we're just doing the job given to them by the commander in chief. And I think really exhibiting a national pride right now. Is super important. And I, I get some, I, I get some goosebumps when I say that because I was on a show last night, Eric, where I talked about how I'm a new American. My parents came here, my dad in 1970, my mom in 1980. And the one thing they really instilled in us, though we don't have any military members in our family, is that it is important to go up to a service member when you see them and say thank you for your service. And particularly on holidays like Thanksgiving and around the holidays. It's just so important to understand the sacrifices these people make. So these National Guardsmen who've been in Washington, D.C. within the borders of the District of Columbia, were just doing the job. And I tell you, it's been so frustrating living within the District and, and paying taxes without representation for a long time. I giggle at that. But it's frustrating because D.C. has been a site and a grounds for just the worst of humanity. I mean, there have been mentally ill, really, really just people that have seen some really hard times on those streets in D.C. that I have come face to face with. I'm talking people that have been strung out on drugs, people who are probably kept, you know, carrying a weapon on themselves, whether it's in the form of a knife or a gun. Who knows? It was just yesterday we learned Mayor Bowser, Mary Muriel Bowser is not going to seek a fourth term. And I say, good. She has really ruined the beautiful city that is Washington, DC. It is not an inclusive city. It's a city where people, again, who have a host of problems end up on the streets. And so while we don't know who the shooter was, I don't know if any of those details. All I'm, all I'm going to go out and say is that I'm not really that surprised this happened. I'm really struck that it's Guardsmen that somebody targeted. Why would you target the people that have put on the uniform of our country that serve bravely that sacrifice?
- [09:20]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Allow me, Allow me. Let me give you an option. And again, I'm, I'm not reporting this. This is not, this is just an option. Why would you shoot a military member? Because the left has been pointing this out. They're throwing subway sandwiches at ice off ice agents. They're, they're telling people to push back against law enforcement at every single level. We have six senators in Congress, people who say, disobey the military orders. That's insubordination right there. That is technically treason right There, they're encouraging. I would call ratchet up, maybe even violent behavior. And when I say we have to find out the motivation, I don't mean we need to find out and fix their motivation. I mean we have to find out where it came from. So if there is some sort of coordinated effort, if this person was working with someone else or if they were just radicalized on their own, let's find out. But if it happens to be that the. This person's told someone. Listen, I'm listening to what these people are saying. My congressman, my senators are saying. And you know what I'm saying? Pissed off, too. I'm gonna go kill a cop. Then we know, and then we can bring it to those people who did that and who.
- [10:29]
Cash Patel (FBI Director)
Who.
- [10:29]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Mark Kelly's out here saying, I didn't do anything wrong. Really? Really? You're a former service member, and you're telling service members to push back against authority. They did something wrong. And I think this is going to come back to haunt them. So I'm not saying what's the motivation? Because I'm trying to fix some sort of lunatic. I'm saying because there might be. It may be bigger, it might even be conspiratorial.
- [10:50]
Rena Shah
The timing is really terrible for that video that those Democrat members of Congress did. I genuinely felt that the timing was bad. And I was talking to a Democrat strategist about this, and he said, well, it's because Trump plans to send the National Guard into New Orleans and other cities after that. I'm like, I believe that government, and I have this in my family. You know, this, Eric, in my own family, we have been kicked out of a country because government got too big, too oppressive, and didn't like us.
- [11:17]
Cash Patel (FBI Director)
And.
- [11:17]
Rena Shah
And so that's. On my dad's side, we were kicked out of Uganda. So I'm always skeptical of government at every level. But I also am somebody that believes in law and order, and I believe in society needing good actors, whether they be elected officials or, again, people who put on the uniform and are in law enforcement. And I know there's a chain of command. I'm a logical human, and I. When I saw that video, my first thought was, gosh, that sounds a little bizarre. But then I looked into it, and it turns out, well, this is a murky issue. You can defy orders you. You believe to be illegal. But in the court of public opinion, that tit for tat between, again, those Democrat members of Congress, senators, who I think, frankly, should have thought long and hard before doing that kind of political video. And then President Trump's response, which he of course walked back, which said that this is treasonous, this is punishable by death. It all makes a number of us again, who do not understand the military and don't know it, intimate those people's families who've served or those who've served, we get confused. And so the moment is really crazy. But I will tell you this. I had a great conversation with a young Gen Z American this morning, just this morning, about Charlie Kirk. I said we're walking into this holiday and we're talking about empathy. And in D.C. in Northern Virginia or in Maryland, right outside D.C. i see these beautiful handmade signs saying empathy. Just the word empathy. Well, I believe in empathy stretching everywhere. I said, how do you feel? Do you think we as a society, in American society are becoming desensitized to watching death on camera? Like the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a young father who was just out there exercising his first amendment right. Whether we liked what he had to say or not, he was showing up on college campuses having tough conversations and we watched him lose his life in real time. I said what, what do you guys say about this? How do you all feel? And he said, well you know, it's all kind of funn for us because he said, whether it's jfk, we're talking about that assassination, or the fact that we did witness Charlie Kirk's brutal murder there in real time, technology giving us that inner look. I he said, Gen Z's really woke. We are so connected. But a lot of people feel you reap what you sow. And so we didn't have much time to get into it, but I left him at that and I said, reap what you sow. Interesting, because in this country we have the Constitution, we have the first Amendment, right? And I hope more Americans can understand these National Guardsmen were doing their job. They're not an extension of a political person or they're seen as an extension of Trump. Right, because it's by his orders that are there. But I wish we would stop looking at people that way. Again, we don't know enough about this situation, but I think that's why we're seeing so much political violence, Eric. It's a, it's just a perfect storm of so many things. One of us to walk it back.
- [14:15]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
We're seeing political violence in one direction. And the reason why I say this is because this kind of hit me almost. Listen, I was here, it was 4:13 when I had announced that Charlie Kirk had passed away. Right before we heard he was shot, we had heard he was in, in, in, in intensive care, had a heartbeat. And then at 4:13 I'm live on air. And I had to say, folks, I've got some really bad news for you. Charlie Kirk is passed from that, the assassin's bullet almost a similar way where JD Vance, within three minutes of your West Virginia governor confirming the deaths of these two guardsmen three minutes prior, JD Vance is addressing a military group saying, hey, let's hope these guys are home for Thanksgiving. And the reason why I'm saying this, because I'll never forget like in the aftermath of Charlie's assassination, the left, they're quiet for a while and then they started blaming the right. Well, it's not the right. These, these people, law enforcement is clearly identified with Donald Trump right now. Look at ice, look at guardsmen going into cities for whatever reason they're being, they're being treated as an extension of Donald Trump and Donald Trump policies targeted. And the ratcheted up rhetoric by them on the left, I'm telling you, is putting people on the right and law enforcement at existential death risk.
- [15:35]
Rena Shah
I'm worried about the mentally ill and the non mentally ill thinking it is okay to go mano e mano one to one when there is something that you feel like you don't agree with that a lawmaker has done. I think of the late Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Horstman and her, and her husband and their dog shot in cold blood at their home. And one of her colleagues also shot but survived, him and his family and, and I, and of course that was right on left violence. So I guess what I'm trying to say here, Eric, is that we have just entered this moment where this beautiful country is now going to, I fear we are normalizing this kind of thing and we are saying if you disagree with somebody, it is okay to go toe to toe with them, not just online, meet them where they live, go to their doorstep and assassinate them in cold blood. Go to a rooftop and target that young father in cold blood.
- [16:30]
Cash Patel (FBI Director)
Simp.
- [16:31]
Rena Shah
They're saying stuff you don't like or they're doing things you don't like. So it's, it's, not just elected officials, it's not just private citizens. We've entered a new frontier and I don't know that anybody, whether on the right or left, can help us turn back the clock. I think there's going to have to be a generational shift and that's why I think maybe a lot more of us can Start to have real conversations with people on the other side and say, don't demonize these people. Every time I talk, I meet somebody in D.C. you know this. I've never been a member of the MAGA crowd, but every time I engage with somebody that says I'm part of the MAGA crowd or I'm the America, I'm part of the America first crowd. And actually, I think I'm a little bit more America first than anything. You know, I've wanted an end to the foreign wars. I've wanted our service members to be more peacemakers and not to have to get put on the uniform and go abroad and get killed abroad. I think what I'm saying here is that I have tried to do my part to go out and dispel these myths that the other side is bad and the other side deserves our angst and our anger because there's no other way unless we all take individual responsibility. That is part of the fabric of our constitution, that each one of us has to strive towards a more perfect union. That's what our founders wanted.
- [17:46]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Rena. Rena Shaw, our apologies. Our sympathies to your home state of West Virginia. Appreciate your time. On the breaking news event today. We thought we're going to talk about a lot of other things, Rena, but literally just seconds before you came on, we got the news that the two national Guardsmen were. That were shot that we thought were in critical. Had actually. Hold on, hold on. Say it again. Control room. Control room. Okay, now we're hearing. Just stay with me for one second, Irina. West Virginia Governor, do we have a. Do we have a. Apparently there's a conflicting report now coming from the West Virginia. I can't see it, guys. You're gonna have to show me where I can see it. I cannot see it. Conflicting report. Are we now receiving conflicting reports about the condition of our two guard members? We'll provide additional updates once we receive more complete information. Our prayers are with these brave service members of families and the entire Guard community. Our prayers. Our prayers with these brave service members of families in the time. Governor Patrick Morrissey. Rena. He announced 20 minutes 15 minutes ago that they had passed. Now he's saying maybe there's conflicting reports. So, you know, let's hope. Let's hope he was wrong the first time and. And they haven't passed. It doesn't change a thing that I said. Probably doesn't change a thing that you said that the violence against law enforcement and against people on the right continues to be one directional and ratcheted up. We'll give you a final thought.
- [19:16]
Rena Shah
Eric I will just say this. I'm thankful for this country. I'm thankful for those service members who do their jobs. And I do hope that everybody, as we approach a very consequential year, we're a year out from those midterms of 2026, will start to think about voting their conscience. This is too hyper partisan of a time, I think. Not everything is as we see. There's nuance, there's gray. And again, I just want to emphasize that as we enter a day of giving thanks, of thinking of the people that stepped on these shores and to try to find freedom more than anything else, that we again, think about the people that work to make this country free and safe and a place for every single one of us. And so let's each one of us do our part. I'm thankful for you, my friend, for the dialogue we've had, especially over this past year. We have really, you and I, I have grown tremendous respect and admiration for you, more than I had because you have the hard conversations. You're committed to finding the truth. And, and you love freedom as much as I do. So thank you to you and your crew and your beautiful wife. And I wish everybody listening, we love you.
- [20:22]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
We love you, too. Next week, after this settles down, we'll bring you back and talk some foreign policy, some geopolitics. Thank you, Rena Shah, everyone. Thank you. All right, folks, let's bring in Mr. Steve Bannon. Steve wow. In the course of the last 18 minutes or so, we went from Donald Trump or maybe an hour ago, he said they're in critical condition. JD Vance said, let's hope they're home for Thanksgiving. Within three minutes of that, the West Virginia governor came out and said they, they had passed. And two minutes ago he said now there's maybe conflicting reports. Doesn't matter if they're alive or not. It matters that they're alive. We want them alive. We are alive. But what does has no relevance here whatsoever is that the left has ratcheted up the rhetoric. And there are people on the right, there's law enforcement people on the right, Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump, assassination attempts, law enforcement left and right, being shot, being assaulted, being hurt. You think there's any, any coincidence to that? Stephen no.
- [21:21]
Steve Bannon
And I think this is you also have to think about what we focused on this morning on the show about the whole situation with the deployment of these, I mean, why the National Guard troops there? Because the situation with the out of control, criminality and these sanctuary cities that have all these illegal alien invaders. And you know, it's not confirmed, but I'm here that this may actually been a, a rooftop situation, but this wasn't in the streets. Don't have to find all that out. But you've had this horrible thing with Captain Mark Kelly and and others saying that, you know, warning troops about illegal orders. That puts in the public's mind and particularly the lower information, you know, voter and lower information person that maybe these people are there illegally. In fact, I think Katie Tur, I don't know if Denver has the clip. I think Katie Tur, I was told I saw somebody sent me a clip that Katie Tur even questioned about the whole situation, legality of the troops being there. But as you know, Eric, this is as serious as you can get. It's was it fair? It's right near the White House. It's a Metro station. This is where the troops have been kind of deployed and they brought total Peace to Washington, D.C. and now on the eve of Thanksgiving, we have this horrible situation. Whether they're critical edition or yeah, the.
- [22:41]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Sniper, the rooftop sniper. I know it's not confirmed and but that would be kind of a game changer here, wouldn't it?
- [22:50]
Steve Bannon
I think it would. I think that, I think what I'm hearing is that looking at this may be similar to, to the situation in Dallas. Right. We had the rooftop and picked off some of the ICE agents and folks going in. It's clearly even if they whatever however this is pulled off, they're challenging the authority of the president as commander in chief and the authority of the military and the National Guard to provide, to provide safe streets and to have a presence in Washington, D.C. and some of these other cities. So I agree with your previous guests. These are very turbulent times. But the rhetoric gets ratcheted up. And what gets ratcheted up is the left is increasingly violent. So we're going to have to find this out. But I think everybody's in shock today. That two troops, two National Guardsmen could be shot in, you know, even if it's just wounded or in critical condition is pretty breathtaking.
- [23:51]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Yeah. Honestly, Steve, I've been doing this a long time, a very long time. I don't know that I recall. I've heard people report too soon report sources that were incorrect. I don't ever recall a governor and the in the AP Associated Press reporting, you know, two deaths, the service members had passed away and then within 15 minutes or so the, the governor walking or Slightly walking back saying, hold on, we have conflicting reports. It's pretty, pretty strange going on. I wonder why there's so little confirmed information coming out right now.
- [24:24]
Steve Bannon
Well, I think that what they want to do is put a lid on it so as not to have any copycats and not have things spread. I'm sure that the National Command center and the Joint, the joint, you know, Joe Kent and the team over there. The Joint, although they're international, I'm sure that they're taking a look at this. You've got the FBI Joint Task Force. People should know in Washington D.C. every department, whether it's energy or whether it's, you know, Health and Human Services, anything, all of them have a watch. They have a 24 hour watch. There's people on, on watch, just see if what's going on in their vertical. And so Washington, and particularly that part of the District is one of the most, you know, cameras everywhere, you know, constantly monitored in case any terrorists came in. You're very near the Capitol, very near the White House. And so this will be something that people will have a lot of coordinates on. And so, and I think what they're doing on the information is let's lock it down, let's lock down for security. Let's lock down and see if this is part of some broader conspiracy, if it was just a lone gunman to get all the information, number one, make sure that the area is safe, number two, to make sure all the major national functions that come out of that area are operational. And number three, to make sure they can find out any bad hombres that are associated with this. And so that's why I think you're going to have a, you're going to have a lockdown.
- [25:50]
Eric
Now.
- [25:50]
Steve Bannon
They've locked down, I think they've stopped the flights over at Reagan National. That's the type of the lockdown they've got going on right now in the central, what I would call the central government, District of the nation, nation's capital.
- [26:02]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
You know, anytime you have a, an incident like this, this close to the White House, eo, EOB is within steps of the White House. Obviously you know that and you know, guardsmen being shot. Yeah, I think they're going to lock it down. Steve, let's go over the last couple of months. Sedition six, Mark Kelly and the other five former military saying, disobey your commanding officer. If you don't believe it, we got what, 5 million new illegals into the country in the last four years under Joe Biden. We have this trans Mafia, this trans tifa, people who are becoming more and more violent across the country. Some of the mass shooters, many of the mass shooters at a higher rate than the general population are trans tifa. And then one more, Jake, Jay Jones, remember the guy, Jay Jones, he was just running for attorney general in Virginia, says, I want to kill my opponent. These leftist lunatics are ratcheting up the, almost making okay, paving the way for lunatics to take action against people they disagree with. How dangerous is this?
- [26:59]
Steve Bannon
But hang on, would you. You say he's a lunatic? I think at the end of the day, didn't he win by five or six points in the Commonwealth of Virginia, which is known as a, a fairly. Being a native Virginian, it's a fairly calm place, right? It's one of these mid Atlantic Southern states that's pretty calm. When he said that and he saw the text messages, how brutal they were and how graphic they were, and how when even somebody kind of questioned him, how triumphant he was about his, you know, his, his violent nature, I don't think it was close to the end of the day. I think he won by five points. I think that that says as much about our day, our time, and particularly with Democrats as anybody needs to say. It's not simply the assassinations. It's not simply, you know, Charlie Kirk's or President Trump's or what happened, what's happened with the ICE agents down in Dallas. I think a couple of different incidents. What you're seeing in, in the cities as the troops go in to basically roll up illegal alien invaders, you know, the doxing of them, the reason they have to wear masks. You see these, you see school teachers and all these crazies on the left that are getting in front of people. I mean, this is a very, the, the left in this country is out of control. And they're very, very, very violent. And they're trying to, and they're trying to stop anything President Trump's trying to do to bring order, whether it's to bring crime down, Eric, in the nation's capital or in a place like Chicago or they're trying to, they're trying to go to these sanctuary cities and make sure that we can start to deport. Particularly right now, President Trump is really just in the bad hombres phase, you know, the multiple criminals. And you're seeing, you know, young women set on fire, young women strangled or beaten to death or stabbed to death on this public transportation. So it's getting more and more out of control. And all you're seeing is that, and all you're seeing is the left celebrates it. You know, was it Luigi Mangione? He's a poster boy. The, the guy and the guy that allegedly assassinated Charlie Kirk, you know, has, has a huge fan following. So it's not like they're saying these people are bad. They're celebrating these people. We're in as dangerous a time politically for political violence more than 60s. I think it, I think it's pre Civil war.
- [29:10]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Add another layer to that. So the lunatics, the, the assassins, the murderers are carrying out what they think they're doing is, is better for the world or themselves or for whatever reason. But they're hearing it somewhere. And I, and I point out you mentioned the, the, the poor woman who got set on fire in a Chicago subway train. The mayor came out the next day and didn't, didn't even recognize that she was lit on fire by a guy who's been let out of prison 70 times, 70 times in the past. He's known to blow off his checking in with his parole officers. Sets the woman on fire. And Brandon Johnson has nothing to say to her or family. Simply says we can't imprison our way out of crime and basically says imprisoning people is racist in this country. You don't think these, I know you do. I'm just, I'm being rhetorical here. Don't you think these comments by high ranking officials are very dangerous to certainly at least our side.
- [30:10]
Steve Bannon
Before we go to the comments, let's go back to how you started it off. She doesn't care. They don't care. They don't care if they got the facts. They don't care if the guy's been arrested 70 times. If they cared, this would be, this would be taken care of. If they cared, Eric, President Trump would not have to order. First of all, remember, he ordered the Marines into, into Los Angeles. President Trump is quite hesitant, I think, to just rely upon the National Guard because the National Guard comes from civilians who obviously take a couple weeks in the summer, get training and then once a month and they're, they're there for emergencies. Right. I think President Trump, I think his, his, his, his take would be he would like to see more experienced combat troops. People actually can handle these tough situations in places like Chicago, in places like Memphis office, in places like Washington D.C. now he's, he's deferred to the National Guard who's done a great job and magnificent. But I think President Trump sees what he's up against and this is why I have said, and I think you agree that he ought to press the bet here that the American people want to see this situation sorted. And you've got these elected officials, you call them lunatics. They come across as lunatics and, but they, it's not that they care about anything. They, whether these guys have been in 70 times, they can't burn somebody. They don't even have the, the caring of the citizens to find out the basic facts. They're just going to go to the microphone and give you the same old, same old and then you've got nothing. Look, as a former naval officer and you know, after I came off sea duty, worked in the Pentagon for the chief of Naval operations, I have many people I'm close to that have spent careers in military. And guess what, a lot of these people, some of these people are not Trump fans. They're certainly not Trump voters. They were to a person, gobsmacked about what happened with particularly Captain Mark Kelly, who's a retiree who's subject to the Uniform Code of Military justice, coming out and intruding in this. So you have both senior officials in Congress. And by the way, Eric, they didn't get blown up by the Democratic Party. They were lionized by the Democratic Party. The media went over the, the MSNBC has been glazing these people non stop. So it's not like they've been reprimanded and oh my gosh, their polls are going to drop or their money's going to drop or the Democrats, it's the exact opposite. It's turbocharged. That's why this is the most divided time in American history. And guess what? I'm not looking to come together with those people. I'm not looking to have a group hug with whoever shot these two National Guard people. I don't want to hear his tale of woe or her tale of woe or what their problems are. I want us to sort this out and to solve it. And I think somebody that agrees with me is Donald John Trump, who realizes this is one of the most important things he could be doing in his second term is to clean up this mess that not simply Biden, but Biden, Obama. As you know, Eric, you've covered this better than anybody. This has been decades. This has been building for decades. And rhino Republicans, particularly when we had the power with Paul Ryan and guys in the House and people like Bush looked the other way. You know why? Because it's too hard to lance the boil. And President Trump is the guy to Lance the boil, you know.
- [33:27]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Steve, you said I hope Trump presses the bet on what he's doing. I'll take it one step further. I do too. I agree with you. I don't want to group hug Kumbaya with these jerks. They're unfixable. I'd like to see Pete Hegseth grab all those military members that decided to make that video. Let's court martial. Let's go find out why they did what they did and maybe, maybe we can pull their, their compensations, maybe even throw them in jail. Especially if there's any ties to this. Steve, hang in here. We have Jack Bassobic who's joining us now.
- [34:03]
Steve Bannon
Let me hold on. Let me hold. Let me, let me, let me make, let me make, let me know one comment before Jack comes on. I believe the only one that we can go. I think Kelly's retired. Jack, I know this better than I do. I think Kelly's retired. So Kelly is the one of the rest because the rest didn't they serve like me? I think they served eight years or some portion like Jack served. Kelly is subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Mark Kelly to Saftenoon could be recalled to active duty and on Friday morning after Thanksgiving or Monday at the latest you could convene a court martial and court martial him and send him to Leavenworth. You could do that And I've I recommend on the show today the Pete don't take till December 10th. Don't give me some big study. You see what you see what's you see you can see this plainly. He's been smack talking smack on all these talk shows. It's recalling to duty the other ones. Jack, I'm not so sure we have to do something else with them but it, but I don't think we can call them to active duty. Mark Kelly you can and to me you should recall him immediately, put him have a convene a court martial and let's get on with it.
- [35:09]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Let's bring in Jack. Jack, what are your thoughts on what we're just talking about pulling Mark Captain Mark Kelly back into it's a service and then court martial.
- [35:19]
Eric
Well Eric and Steve, I mean it. You have to put it in context of the shooting of these two National Guardsmen now. And I see the West Virginia governor has now sort of retracted his statement that they were killed and it says there's now conflicting information. I'm also told by the way that FBI Director Cash Patel is on the scene just outside the White House and is expected to go live here in just a little bit. So I'm sure real America's voice will cut to that as soon as it comes in. Look, when you're in the context of this, where the seditious Six and Mark Kelly himself, who's a captain in the United States Navy equivalent to a colonel in the army or the Marine Corps, is going up and saying stuff like this, it puts a bullseye on the backs of our service members, puts a bullseye on the back of federal law enforcement the same way that we've seen the media putting a bullseye on the back of federal law enforcement since the very first ICE operations in President Trump's return to office. We all saw the same way they put a bullseye on the back of Charlie Kirk for calling him a fascist and all this other stuff that led to a guy on top of a roof with this bullet etch that said hey, fascist catch. And the antifa anthem Bella Chow etched on the very next one, we have a situation in this country where bullets are flying. We're facing asymmetric civil warfare. And Mark Kelly, a guy who's been in the military that long, a guy who's been in service that long, he knows exactly what he was doing. He knew exactly what he did. He should have known better. And this is absolutely a situation where the standards that would apply to any other member of the United States military or any other retiree who's subject to the Uniform Code of Military justice must and should be applied and upheld. In this case, he should be placed under investigation.
- [36:59]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Go ahead, Eric.
- [37:00]
Steve Bannon
Just, I think, I think CBS News is reporting law enforcement officials described it as an ambush style attack and said 10 to 15 shots were fired. Also, the New York Post reporting that the suspect was hit with four, was hit four times before he was taken away. And that is him, I think with the beard that's partially undressed, that's being put into the. So people can make that photo, that photo of what you think, but it's a strange looking beard.
- [37:29]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
That'll be a big response. There'll be a massive, massive deployment. We're hearing Hexeth is already on it. Sending up to 500 troops to D.C. as we speak. Jack, let's have this little discussion here. Trans. Trans. TIFA 30, I don't know, 30 illegals in the country, maybe five under Joe Biden alone. Recent ones coming over unwilling to assimilate into, into what America really is. J J Jones saying he wanted to assassinate his political opponents. The sedition six lunatics Clowns that said, disobey your commanding officers in the military. Everyone pointing at push back against what ICE is doing in our major cities. I mean, is there any question in anyone's mind here or anyone watching that? This is. This is a cancer that's growing on the left, and it's metastasizing with people who want to just hurt and kill people on the right. This isn't incredible. This isn't a society anymore. This is two separate worlds, two separate countries that are battling each other. And guess what? One's using arms, and the other is sitting there going, okay, let's talk it out.
- [38:40]
Eric
Yeah, Eric, look, I mean, that's exactly what Charlie Kirk was doing when he was shot and killed. He was on stage. He was there at the campus and saying that, debate me, right? Come up and debate me. Prove me wrong. And he would say, you know, here's a microphone for you. Here's a microphone for me. Let's have a conversation. In fact, the very last question, the very last words out of Charlie Kirk's mouth were talking about violence and talking about. In his case, he was talking about transgender violence and also gang violence. And so when we see the situation written. I went on CNN a couple of days after Charlie Kirk was shot, and I. And they asked me this question, and I said, we are facing asymmetric civil warfare. And one of the key aspects of asymmetric warfare is assassinations, is information operations, is having. Having political leaders call for these random attacks in places like the White House, places like airports, places on, you know, during key times, like holidays, for example. So this is a place where you would see asymmetric warfare, domestic terrorism, these types of things taking place. Now, we're not necessarily seeing the same type of foreign terrorism. And of course, we don't know exactly what the case was in this situation. So I wouldn't rule out anything at this point. But at the same time, we can see that there has been a clear pattern of domestic terrorism that's been going on in this country, and it is associated with the far left.
- [40:06]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Guys, hang on one second. We have. We have the sound bite of Pete Hegseth talking about deployment of troops. Listen.
- [40:13]
Eric
We will never back down. We will secure our capital. We will secure our cities. In fact, this happened just steps away from the White House.
- [40:19]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
It will not stand. And that's why President Trump has asked.
- [40:23]
Eric
Me, and I will ask the Secretary.
- [40:25]
Cash Patel (FBI Director)
Of the army to the national guard.
- [40:27]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
To add 500 additional troops, National Guardsmen to Washington, D.C. this will only stiffen our results. Well, they'll go to you. Steve, your, your thoughts on the response so far?
- [40:41]
Steve Bannon
I think obviously, you know, Pete is getting information and going to put some more troops on the street. I think that's fine. But you know, last night on Jen Psaki had one of the Democrat lawyers on and he was saying how they're going there. They, the Democrats are going to prosecute anyone who investigates the seditious six. Look, this is a political problem that's spinning, quite frankly into a political violence problem. And I don't think that we're being tough enough. Like, for instance, things like impeaching Bosberg, like recalling Mark Kelly. There's too much talk and not enough action. Right. You don't need to December6 I hope out of this tragedy, the one thing that President Trump and the team around him realize we have a, there must be a sense of urgency. We can't play in the traditional playbook, particularly against a group of radicals that have attempted to assassinate President Trump. And only by divine providence is he still with us. Assassinated Charlie Kirk in cold blood. I mean, one of the big, not just biggest members of our movement, but this extraordinary young man that has assassinated, tried to assassinate ICE agents in the field. And every day there's more video about how these, these people on the left whose nature is violent, is trying to blockade and take to the streets to do this. We have to see what we see. And that is an escalatory ladder that they're going up on violence. Now we have a situation that it looks like an ambush attack on two National Guards, guardsmen, two of the troops patrolling in Washington, D.C. and that's why I think whether it's impeaching Boasberg or recalling Mark Kelly or other things to be doing and quite frankly, maybe change the rules of engagement as you're deploying this troop, these troops, I don't think you back off now. Pete said, hey, we're going to show resolve by sending 500 troops. I got that. That's good. But where's the resolve and really clamping down when we have troops there? And I don't know why we're not going to New York City. We talk about the sovereignty. We're negotiating the sovereignty of Ukraine over Ukraine. We have to get the sovereignty of our own country on the eve of Thanksgiving in the nation's capital, yards from the White House, where two soldiers, troops in cammies are gunned down in cold blood. Right, right there. It tells you we don't have the sovereignty of our capital. We don't have the sovereignty of New York City. We don't have the sovereignty of Chicago or Los Angeles. These are some of the most important cities in the world, much less the most important cities in the United States. And that's why I think it's. People have to get very focused, and we have to have a response to this, and that response should be working through right now. We should be making announcements about this right now.
- [43:28]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Yeah, Jack, you're. You're. You're shot at that after we listen to Pete HEGSETH about deploying 500 troops to D.C. well, there's.
- [43:34]
Eric
There's no question. They've got to change the rules of engagement. I've seen some of those officers out there and National Guardsmen as well. And you see them. You see them when you go into the White House, you walk through Lafayette Square park, that they're. Or on the National Mall, Farragut Square. And in many cases, we will look, and I'm not exactly sure what the loadout was here, but in many cases, they are not armed, and in many cases, they do not have. They do not have armed weapons on them or wearing, you know, body armor, wearing plates, that type of thing when they're out there. And unfortunately, we're in a situation where one side in this country has decided to take up arms, and these radicals are continuing to do so again and again. And so you see them armed sometimes, you see them not armed sometimes. And this is occasionally done at random. These are known as random anti terrorism measures and. Or ram. And so you. You have the ability then, if you're waiting for it, to go up and wait for a couple of guys, and they're not a threat to anyone. They're there just simply minding the peace, guarding the peace, guarding the White House. These gentlemen who were out there on holiday duty, willing to give up their own Thanksgiving holiday, as Secretary Hegseth said, to defend people that they had never met, that they had never known. And for that, they were ambushed, they were shot. Still waiting to hear out more about the suspect. There's an image that's circulating online of the suspect. Waiting, of course, get official confirmation on that. But we need to. We need to start taking this seriously as a country, and we need to go after all of these violent networks, be they jihadist, be they left wing, whatever they are, and dismantle them and disrupt them completely.
- [45:13]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
So there will be a presidential response, there'll be a military response, there'll be a law enforcement response. Now, I'm gonna ask you both a question. Steve, I'm gonna Go to you, because you are the true north. Maga. You're the guy who I believe is the godfather of maga. What's the MAGA response?
- [45:34]
Steve Bannon
I think the MAGA response is it's what it's been. We've backed President Trump. I mean, President Trump, this is part of his initial pitch to the nation when he came down the Golden Escalator. He said, we've been invaded. We need to build a wall. We need to start sending these guys. We need to deport them. I think he said deport in the very first time. And this is why the folks at CNN completely melted down. He says they're not sending their best. Remember, his whole purpose from the very beginning, this was kind of the basic building blocks of make America great again. America cannot return to her greatness when we have the nation's capital in these amazing cities like New York and Chicago and Los Angeles that are sanctuary cities. We talk about sovereignty in the Middle east and sovereignty for Israel. We talk about sovereignty for Ukraine, we're talking about sovereignty for the people in Venezuela and get rid of Maduro. We don't have sovereignty here in our own country. The biggest cities, the most important cities, you can't. They're lawless. President Trump actually has to send in National Guard to support ICE agents who are there because law enforcement can't do the. The natural, you know, and we're fought. We're being thwarted in court all the time, in state courts and federal courts, etcetera, where law enforcement are just trying to. To do their job. And we haven't even scratched the surface of mass deportations. We're still in the phase of the criminal element. They're fighting to keep the criminal element. So I think MAGA has President Trump's back. I think everybody would say, hey, President Trump, we understand. You got so much on your plate. You've made this a priority. We have your back. You know, you had Stephen Miller and Pete Hexeth, the Secretary of War and the head of the Domestic Policy Council, go out with the Attorney General, Jack Ericwon was it a month ago. Remember, they flew to Memphis to make this very pitch that they're going to be there to help take crime down. So we know the cities are lawless. Washington, D.C. has totally changed since then. But even in that regard, you know, when the lawsuits started coming, our DC's mayor started whining. Next thing you know, you've got National Guard walking around and they're not carrying weapons. Some of them are not carrying weapons. So I think Maggie would tell President Trump, we love you. We've got your back. Let's double down, let's triple down and let's clean this mess up because we're burning daylight and we have to do it in your watch, sir.
- [47:53]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Jack, maga's response, what do you think?
- [47:57]
Eric
Look, MAGA wants the President to go hard. MAGA wants the President to drop the hammer on these networks. Drop the hammer on if you're jihadi, if you're in a sleeper cell, if you're a Marxist, or if you're in one of these cells, if you're in Tran tifa, take, take your pick, right? MAGA wants the President to drop the hammer and go hard. Look, Washington D.C. on, on a case by case basis, street by street. It's been much safer, absolutely, much safer since this deployment in general. But of course you still have ne' er do wells who are willing to go up and listening to this rhetoric that's been going around, turn our National Guardsmen into bullseyes and want to take shots at them. And look, people are asking about the rules of engagement. Self defense is always authorized in the rules of engagement. If you see someone who's approaching you with a gun, that threatening matter, you're in law enforcement, your National Guardsman, or by the way, if you're just a United States citizen, you have the right of self defense. You certainly always have. There is an imminent deadly force threat to your life. But at the same time, we don't know all the specifics. Obviously, you know, this is an area where there's a lot of cameras. This is an area that's well surveilled, not only from Secret Service but for many areas. I believe it was near one of the metro stations. So you're going to have closed circuit TV camera on there and it's, you know, obviously one of the most famous locations in the world. It's right outside the White House. So there's always live streams on things like that. Point being is we, I think we'll know in short order how exactly this went down. So it is possible that even if they were armed, they just didn't have time to get their, get their sidearms out. But at the same time the broader picture does not change. And there's a view in this country and I think there's a view in D.C. that, you know, we can just wait out Trump and, and things will go back to normal. We don't have to ratchet things up anymore. But it's not. These people will not stop until they have stopped Mondami just went in and hired, he said all the happy talk in the Oval Office and then he went and hired the guy, the professor, this radical far left professor who wrote the End of Policing about abolishing the police force in New York City. The radicals will not be going away anytime soon. And unfortunately, the United States of America is rife with them. Not only radicals who are willing to commit violence, but even more who are willing to condone violence, like the 1.7 million people in Virginia who just voted for Jay Jones after he came out with these comments. I believe Cash Patel looks like he's about to be going.
- [50:16]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Yes, we have Cash Patel. Hold on, let's take a look.
- [50:20]
Cash Patel (FBI Director)
Today at approximately 2:15 local time in Washington, D.C. where two of our brave members of the National Guard and Department of War were brazenly attacked in a horrendous act of violence. They were shot. They're in critical condition, as you can see behind me. We have assembled the full force of both the federal and state and local law enforcement agencies to bring bear all of our resources to make sure we find the perpetrators responsible for this heinous act. And make no mistake, they will be brought to justice. Since this is an assault on a federal law enforcement officer, this will be treated at the federal level as an assault on a federal law enforcement officer. The FBI will lead out on that mission with our interagency partners to include the Department of Homeland Security, Secret Service, atf, dea, and we're thankful for the mayor's assistance in this matter. The Metropolitan Police Department and their skills in investigating homicides and gun shootings in this city is exceptional. We will, will work together collaboratively because this is a matter of national security, because it's a matter of pride. President Trump has been informed. We've been in contact with the White House. We will, we will shortchange the American public with no resources to make sure we find and we find the perpetrators responsible for this heinous act. And make no mistake, they will be brought to justice. Since this is an assault on a federal law enforcement officer, this will be treated at the federal, federal level as an assault on a federal office law enforcement officer. The FBI will lead out on that mission with our interagency partners to include the Department of Homeland Security, Secret Service, atf, dea, and we're thankful for the mayor's assistance in this matter. The Metropolitan Police Department and their skills in investigating homicides and gun shootings in this city is exceptional. We will work together collaboratively because this is a matter of national, national security. Because It's a matter of pride. President Trump has been informed. We've been in contact with the White House.

I would lastly like to add to the American public in the world. Please send your prayers to those brave warriors who are in critical condition and their families. They are here serving our country. They are here protecting everyday Americans and citizens around the world in our nation's capital. They are the heroes of this day and we must remember them on this day and every day and their families and the sacrifice they have made. I will now turn it over to Chief Carol of the Metropolitan Police Department. Thank you.
- [52:57]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Good afternoon.
- [52:58]
Jeff Carroll (MPD Chief)
Good morning everyone. My name is Jeff Carroll. I'm the Executive Assistant Chief here at the Metropolitan Police department. At approximately 2:15 this afternoon, members of the D.C. national Guard were on high visibility patrols in the area of 17th and I Street Northwest when a suspect came around the corner, raised his arm with a firearm and discharged it at the National Guard members. The National Guard members there were other members that were in the area. They were able to, after some back and forth, able to subdue the individual and bring them into custody within moments. Members of law enforcement in the area were also able to assist and bring that individual into custody. At this time, as the Director mentioned, the National Guard members are being treated at a local hospital. D.C. fire and EMS responded to the scene to provide first aid for those individuals and transport them to a local hospital. The suspect in this case was also transported for treatment at a local hospital.
- [53:53]
Cash Patel (FBI Director)
I'm Muriel Bowser, I'm the mayor of Washington D.C. and I too want to send my thoughts and prayers to the families of the Guardsmen and to the Guardsmen who are in critical condition in a local hospital. I am joined by members and leadership from the D.C. national National Guard, from the West Virginia National Guard, United States Secret Service, Deputy Mayor Appiah, Fire Chief Donnelly and Metro's General Manager Randy Clark. And we join with FBI Director in ensuring that MPD investigates. The U.S. attorney prosecutes this case to the fullest extent of the law. I've had the opportunity to brief U.S. attorney General Pam Bondi, who was speaking to the President when I called, as well as the United States Attorney Pirro, who assured me that this case will have her offices complete. Attention, Mayor, was there any other suspect? Chief sure.
- [55:04]
Jeff Carroll (MPD Chief)
So no. At this time there was no indication there was Any other suspect? The one suspect that was involved in this incident, they were shot during the interaction and they were transported to the hospital for treatment.
- [55:13]
Rena Shah
Mayor, does this validate the need for.
- [55:15]
Steve Bannon
The National Guard here in dc?
- [55:17]
Cash Patel (FBI Director)
What we know, Andrea, is that this is a targeted shooting. One individual who appeared to target these Guardsmen, that individual has been taken into custody. More details on the condition of two National Guards and whether or not anyone else was injured. And a quick question, follow up for the FBI Director. You said that we'll make sure we.
- [55:41]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Find the perpetrators for this act.
- [55:42]
Cash Patel (FBI Director)
So just to clarify, the person believed.
- [55:45]
Eric
To be responsible is in custody and.
- [55:47]
Rena Shah
There are no other suspects?
- [55:49]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Sure.
- [55:49]
Jeff Carroll (MPD Chief)
So I can start out again. Chief Carroll from mpd. So both the individuals, the Guard members, they are in critical condition at local hospital at this time, being treated. At this point, we have no other suspects. We have reviewed video from the area. It appears, like I said, to be a lone gunman that raised a firearm and ambushed these members of the National Guard. And he was quickly taken into custody by other National Guard members and law enforcement members. No, at this time, obviously, we're very in the preliminary stages of investigation. There's a lot of things, a lot of agents that are here from various federal agencies, law enforcement agencies. We have the full power of the FBI and our federal partners here in the task force. So we're looking at all those different aspects, but we don't have any motives. The National Guardsmen that were shot, I'm told they were armed at this time as part of the preliminary investigation. Sure. So how the suspect was apprehended? As I said, the individual, the suspect came around the corner. He immediately started firing a firearm at the two National Guard members. So at the time there were other National Guard members that were in the area. They heard the gunfire. They actually were able to intervene and to kind of hold down the suspect after he had been shot on the ground until law enforcement got there within moments. At this point, we're still investigating exactly who shot the individual. It's not clear at this time. We don't know kind of weapon there was D.C. police. It happened right in front of the Metro, although there is no indication that the perpetrator was on the Metro. So there's Metro Transit Police in the area and obviously being on 17th street by the White House Uniform Division, Secret Service were in the immediate area as well. We do not know at this time. Still in a different.
- [57:27]
Cash Patel (FBI Director)
We're going to be able to take a couple more.
- [57:29]
Rena Shah
Has been able to question the suspect or is his condition so severe that you haven't been able to have a conversation?
- [57:34]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
Sure.
- [57:35]
Steve Bannon
Again.

Jeff Carroll (MPD Chief)
So, as I said, we're very preliminary in the investigation, so we're looking to all aspects of who the individual is, his connections. At this time, he's still in the hospital receiving treatment.

Cash Patel (FBI Director)
And I would just like. Hang on. I would just like to add, the reason that this suspect is in. The reason that this suspect is in custody is because of the bravery of the men and women of the National Guard who responded due to their extensive training to secure American lives today, there was not any further injury and any further shootings. We should highlight the fact that the men and women of law enforcement, the interagency, the Department of War and the National Guard executed their training with great precision today and prevented an even greater tragedy from befalling us. These National Guardsmen are heroes, and we must pray for their safety and their speedy recovery. And as the chief said, we are in the preliminary stages of this investigation. We will run down every single lead, every piece of evidence. This is the power of the US Government at its best at the state, local and federal level level. That is why this interagency group is standing behind us to assure America and the world that we will continue to keep D.C. safe. And thankfully, we have Metropolitan Police Department, the National Guardsmen and federal agents and the Department of Justice and an Attorney General willing to prosecute the mission to keep Americans safe. And President Trump has rightly stated that this heinous act will be investigated. And he has thanked the National Guard's men and women. Who are the men and women of law enforcement.

Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
All right, so that was Cash Patel, FBI Director, Muriel Bowser, mayor of D.C. also the. The chief of metropolitan police in D.C. i'll just give you one couple quick thoughts and. And turn it over to Steve Ban. His show's coming up. Steve, I asked you guys maga's response. I'll get to that. One second. Where the hell is the description? I mean, we're in a. What did the shooter look like? Was it a man? Was it a woman? Was it African American, minority white guy? Let us know. Was he trans? Was he wearing a wig? Let us know. I'm tired of this woke BS where they say can't describe the shooter. It may give us an idea what the motives were, what the reason was and where it was coming from. For my pov, what magus should do. You guys are great. You guys are on it. I say Pam Bondi I love you. I've known you a long time, Pam. We've worked together a long time. Hey, Cash. Known you a long time. Forever. Hey, Pete. Dan Bongino, buddy. Long time. Do something. Get some people behind bars. Get some people locked up. Maybe even get some people permanently gone if they're treasonous. Pete, headset. Get Captain Kelly. Get him, get him court martialed, get him back. As Steve said, he can have him on Friday. Get him and get him from a court martial. Let's see what he's got. And then, Donald Trump, brother, invoke the Insurrection act and do what you need to do. Get this place cleaned up. I'm going to leave it with you guys. You guys can take it here. Steve, you have a final thought before we toss it over to your show?
- [60:36]
Steve Bannon
No, I think that, I think that, I think that summed it up. And that was my, that was my thinking about that. That presser, I mean, they've got a photo of the shooter. Why don't we get it? That should be, you know, they should say take the look at the shooter and we should at least get his name. I, I don't know the stuff. I was currently under investigation. It's just more tapping along.
- [60:54]
Host (Eric's Co-host or Main Anchor)
So, you know, and Steve, it's a day the chief Metropolitan police chief said they, the shooter, they. I am so tired of this pronoun. B. Let us know who the shooters they killed or almost killed or killed. Who knows? Two guardsmen. Oh my God, Jack.
- [61:12]
Eric
Yeah, the, the photo that I've seen going around does appear to be a male individual. Appears to be a beard. A lot of the clothes have been taken off in this photo. But again, you know, we're not getting any official confirmation whatsoever. You do see him being loaded onto a stretcher and he's obviously not one of the Guardsmen. So, you know, for what we're being told, if three people were involved here, then just basic logic would dictate that if it wasn't one of the Guardsmen, that would in fact be the suspect. But again, we don't have that direct official confirmation from anyone involved here, either Metropolitan Police Department, the mayor or the FBI director. And that's something that I think we would all want. Cash, of course, coming out, also saying that, you know, making a lot of comments, saying that he thinks there may be more people involved, perhaps he has access to some information, of course, through FBI channels that, that we don't have yet. So we're going to, we're going to have to see that as well because, you know, did this guy have a spotter? Did this guy do it on his own? Did he just walk up? What kind of firearm was used? All of these things need to be called into question as well as the basic security procedures around the White House. This is an area, by the way, where a lot of staffers go when they go on their lunch, when they go on their coffee breaks. They walk past this every day. A lot of people use this, this Metro station to go to work every single day. So the fact of the matter is that when you have one of these shooters, when you have people in this country who are so committed to violence, it is very hard to say that you're able to keep all of these soft targets safe.

I'll leave it with you guys. But I will tell you, Steve, Jack, myself, we know a lot of these folks. We've hung out with these guys with Pam, with Bungino, with Cash, with, with Pete Hegseth. Guys, let's talk to them. Let's get some action. The, the inspiring speeches after someone dies are great, fine, but we need, we need more. We need perp walks. We need people accountability. Steve Bannon. Jack, thank you so much. And Steve, the show's all yours, my friend. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving as best you can.
