Tinkering going on with the inaugural address, but his aides have made really clear it's not like he's trying to ignore or paper over either what happened at the Capitol two weeks ago or what we've been through throughout four years of the Trump presidency. | |
| And the contrast on display tonight was so stark. | ||
| I mean, those lights that are just shooting out from the Lincoln Memorial along the reflecting pool, it's like almost... | ||
| Extensions of Joe Biden's arms embracing America. | ||
| It was a moment where the new president came to town and sort of convened the country in this moment of remembrance outstretching his arms. | ||
| And contrast that with that video you just saw of a disgraced president on his way out at his lowest point in his presidency at the very end here by himself. | ||
| Fighting for his political movement to live on. | ||
| Okay, I can't take any more. | ||
| That guy should be fired at me. | ||
| You've got to be embarrassed. | ||
| Joe Biden's arms? | ||
| This is a complete and total farce. | ||
| And listen, they started the nullification project on Donald J. Trump in the first hour after he was president-elect at 2.30 in the morning or 3.30 in the morning on November 9th. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| I identified the nullification project, but I never whined about it. | ||
| I said, hey, they're Americans. | ||
| I totally disagree with them. | ||
| They're going to play, and they play not just smash mouth, right? | ||
| Everything, the Russian collusion, all of it. | ||
| But this is the home of the nullification project on this one. | ||
| Don't forget it. | ||
| We will never, ever, ever let ourselves be kowtow. | ||
| We'll kowtow to that crap. | ||
| Joe Biden's arms. | ||
| That's a disgrace. | ||
| That's a total disgrace. | ||
| But I've got to show that shot. | ||
| Can we get this shot up? | ||
| Here's why this is a joke. | ||
| Right now, we're an hour or two away from what's going to happen at the Capitol today. | ||
| The inauguration ceremony and the inauguration address. | ||
| There's nobody here, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| They can't blame us on COVID. This guy, for 84 million votes, where are the people? | ||
| I want to say one thing. | ||
| You want to talk about jamming this administration up, or regime as Raheem calls it, immediately on everything? | ||
| It's right now on this show. | ||
| Right now. | ||
| Tell your friends. | ||
| Everybody there is sitting there going, oh my God, I can't believe you stole the election. | ||
| I had so many friends vote for Obama or Biden, and the guy's mocking me on social media. | ||
| Take the emptiness and put it, rub their nose in it today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Rub their nose in it. | |
| 80 million. | ||
| Be nice. | ||
| Be polite. | ||
| As I say, color inside the lines, but color bold today. | ||
| Color bold today. | ||
| This is the first day of the resistance to this stuff. | ||
| They did it. | ||
| Hey, I didn't whine about it. | ||
| I said, hey, the resistance is really the media. | ||
| It's not the Democratic Party. | ||
| They're kind of hapless. | ||
| Well, war room is going to be the tip of the spear that and we are not going to back down an inch. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
|
unidentified
|
MAGA Media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | ||
| It's Monday, 20 January in the year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| It's Liberation Day. | ||
| Here in the nation's capital, that's the shot right there. | ||
| If we can go ahead, let's go to the capital. | ||
| Right now, it's not a panel. | ||
| My co-hosts are all with me today, all in one, and we're going to talk about this. | ||
| It ain't that cold, folks, so it must be security. | ||
| Right there, you see an empty west side of the capital where normally in about 90 minutes President Trump will be walking out. | ||
| To start the ceremony, the grandees would all be coming up before them, probably starting at 11 o'clock. | ||
| Right now, where the ceremony stands, they're at the White House having tea. | ||
| They're going to leave at about 10.30 St. John's Church. | ||
| You got that ceremony early this morning. | ||
| Stephen K. Bannon here. | ||
| I've got my wingmen are with me. | ||
| Natalie Winters, the frozen Natalie Winters joins us right now. | ||
| Jack Posobiec, Dave Brad. | ||
| First off, guys, I got a question. | ||
| We've done, I don't know, six or seven since Ward's been going around from this very roof, right? | ||
| And is this that cold? | ||
| Natalie, I'll start with you and I want to go to Posto and Brad. | ||
| Is this, I mean, why are they doing it in the Capitol today? | ||
| Because I look out here, when you get that camera, you get that beautiful west, and remember, up until Ronald Reagan in 1981, It was done on the east side of the Capitol. | ||
| That's where Jack Kennedy's speech, which, by the way, is 22 degrees. | ||
| That's where Lincoln gave his first and second inaugural address, FDR. Every famous thing American history was on the east side facing the war room, right, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress of the War Room. | ||
| They moved it because of Reagan's understanding of – and Michael Deaver's understanding of showtime and scale, that he got the beautiful down the mall, reflecting pole down the mall, and to the Washington Monument. | ||
| And here today, guys, I am confused. | ||
| We had 250,000 tickets. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| You had, I think, what, 10,000 people seated of people that work on the campaign that were close to President Trump. | ||
| Then we had 240,000 that was going to go back. | ||
| There was expected at least a crowded day of a million people. | ||
| The missed opportunity to me, it is a beautiful day like Kennedy's inauguration, kind of that crisp, clear, the sun will be out all day. | ||
| Right here, I will tell you, it's low 20s, but in the sun, it feels like it's 40 degrees, right? | ||
| Way better. | ||
| Natalie, let's start with you and Jack, then I'm going to talk about why is this empty? | ||
| I don't understand why this is empty. | ||
| I think it sets a tone. | ||
| This city is hostile to President Trump. | ||
| Look, we're here to celebrate and commemorate, but understand this is like Taking Berlin in 1945, yes, they signed the surrender documents, and yes, they were compliant to a degree, but underneath they weren't. | ||
| And I think this is the epitome of what we're seeing today. | ||
| Natalie Winters. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, and Steve, I think even if it were actually 20 degrees colder, I don't know about you guys, but MAGA's pretty tough. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Our grassroots, I think they have tenacity. | |
| You're saying at 6 degrees we should have been out there, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
If it were negative, I think people would still be clamoring, right? | |
| I think time and time again we've demonstrated that. | ||
| Because the city's packed right now with folks. | ||
| They're doing a bar crawl, you know, as MAGA would. | ||
| But the city is packed with people right now. | ||
| We've got hundreds of thousands of MAGA have shown up, and you're right. | ||
| They would welcome coming into a tough environment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I think the reason why you're seeing this, like you said, it goes back to the opening, right? | |
| It is the nullification projects, just a sort of different iteration. | ||
| And to that point, I think the reason why you're seeing this right now is because President Trump won the popular vote, right? | ||
| He won the election college vote. | ||
| So they have to find some way to rip the legitimacy, the authenticity, and the actual legitimate regime, which is something we haven't had for the last four years from him. | ||
| And they just don't want to be able to have it. | ||
| The beautiful pictures. | ||
| I want to thank Real America's Voice and my own crack production team here at The Worm. | ||
| That opening was from 20 January of 2021. We started with that and we said we committed at the time we're going to be the tip of the spear to turn this thing around. | ||
| Poso, Brat. | ||
| What's going on here? | ||
| Why isn't that 200? | ||
| Right now, there'd be 200. There'd be a million people out here. | ||
| It'd be all MAGA. We couldn't even hear ourselves. | ||
| We picked this exact spot, and I want to thank Rob and Parker Sig. | ||
| We got the farthest shot you can probably get here. | ||
| Just absolutely. | ||
| So we have a clear, you know, President Trump, all the dignitaries, everybody. | ||
| And here, there's going to be six. | ||
| I hear it's 600. They're taking it from 1,000 to 600. I know people that made the 1,000 cut, and now they said they just got bumped about 30 minutes ago. | ||
| Let's see what they're doing here is they want To deny the fact that President Trump has the support that he has. | ||
| They don't want people out here seeing it. | ||
| They don't want, as Natalie said, you don't want to see the optics. | ||
| You don't want to see the images, the pageantry. | ||
| Is that it? | ||
| They don't want the optics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's a people's dictator. | |
| It doesn't quite work with the whole autocracy. | ||
| Wait, wait, wait. | ||
| So let me get this right. | ||
| He's got just as many people as Joe Biden did four years ago when I was standing on this roof that day when he didn't have anybody other than Pete Buttigieg down there. | ||
| I remember they had white circles with my staff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was only like 100 people on the scene. | |
| No, you remember that in the back? | ||
| They had the flags. | ||
| Remember? | ||
| So they decorated the entire lawn with flags. | ||
| And then they said, each flag represents 1,000 voters for Biden. | ||
| I said, oh, look. | ||
| Oh, they put the little flags. | ||
| The little flags. | ||
| Remember the little flags? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I remember that. | |
| So I said, look, that's perfect. | ||
| So the crowd is fake. | ||
| It's just like the votes. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Dave Brett. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, no conspiracies, but no coincidences. | ||
| That's not a coincidence. | ||
| Trump is the greatest populist leader we've ever seen in this country. | ||
| At least since Jackson, General Jackson. | ||
| Throw in Jackson. | ||
| You'd have to rip him away from the people. | ||
| Everything he's done for the past eight years has been Loving being in front of people. | ||
| So something major is going on. | ||
| I don't know what it is yet. | ||
| We'll find out. | ||
| Guys, what we're talking, I want to make sure the audience sees this because we're going to be talking a lot about this today because this underpins the days of thunder at high noon. | ||
| You can't even imagine what's going to happen. | ||
| We're going to spend some time on that. | ||
| But I want to go back. | ||
| If the crew, if Real America's Voice, you can cut out. | ||
| Let's go back to this. | ||
| The optics here would have been unbelievable. | ||
| This was a sweeping victory of many different ethnic groups coming together. | ||
| The joyous nature. | ||
| People are so pumped up and so excited. | ||
| The city is sullen because this is the imperial capital and the rebels won. | ||
| The security posture that we're seeing for this is higher than it was when Biden was inaugurated, with the exception of the troop posture. | ||
| But the road closures, we didn't have road closures like this when President Trump was inaugurated the first time. | ||
| We didn't have the city on lockdown. | ||
| That rally yesterday at Capital One where people couldn't even get inside and it's raining and there's sleet coming down. | ||
| And look, people stayed out there because it's MAGA. MAGA's tough. | ||
| MAGA's combat tough. | ||
| But the understanding is this town, Mayor Bowser, all the people, they're fighting tooth and nail to deny you the ability to celebrate your victory. | ||
| If we can do a split screen, too. | ||
| I want to make sure we get the door at the White House. | ||
| We want to cover. | ||
| They're having tea right now. | ||
| You know they're having high tea. | ||
| I'm sure that's pleasant between Dr. Jill Biden and Melania. | ||
| I'm sure they're... | ||
| Have someone else try the tea first. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Give her some tips. | |
| Wait, don't drink the tea first. | ||
| Wait until she drinks it. | ||
| Folks, we're going to have people in studio. | ||
| We're going to have guests throughout the day. | ||
| By the way, we're going to be here, I think, to 7 o'clock tonight just with War Room, the Jack Posobiec Show. | ||
| Steve says he's going to be here until 7 o'clock. | ||
| We'll see how it goes. | ||
| Steve will be here until 7 o'clock. | ||
| No, Charlie's actually going to be part of the, I think, festivities over at the Capitol Center. | ||
| So they had a rally yesterday. | ||
| Today, they've also canceled the parade. | ||
| Now, I've been here since a kid, and I will tell you, they've had the parade when it's 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 20 degrees. | ||
| And I've always, I don't like, in fact... | ||
| People should know, in 17, I didn't participate in any of this thing. | ||
| Miller and I helped write the speech. | ||
| We practiced it with the president at the Blair House many times. | ||
| I didn't go to any of the balls, none of the dinners. | ||
| Miller and I, we went to the speech to see it, sat on the podium. | ||
| Got the Secret Service, took us right down. | ||
| We were the landing team in the White House, right? | ||
| To get to work right there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're too humble, though. | |
| She gave a wonderful speech last night at a gala at the Watergate. | ||
| But I would also add, too, to that point, I think the fact that there probably is some level of a security threat right against MAGA, that is probably the logical conclusion. | ||
| Is that not the perfect culmination of four years of Joe Biden's regime? | ||
| I'd rather it's the importation of undocumented criminals, foreign terrorists from every country that hates them. | ||
| So, Brad, to Natalie's point, this city's in lockdown. | ||
| Look, the war room is relatively close to the Supreme Court, as people know. | ||
| We've seen this thing in lockdown, like the J6. Steve, you're always close to court. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Either in it or outside of it. | |
| No, but... | ||
| Today, there's a lockdown that I've never seen before. | ||
| We came and get guests up here to go. | ||
| We're going to have to get them by... | ||
| In addition to the excitement. | ||
| Those are seconds. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to return to the War Room live at the nation's capital in just a second. | ||
| Dale? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| Welcome back. | ||
| I want to thank our sponsor, Birch Gold, birchgold.com. | ||
| There's going to be some turbulence, folks. | ||
| Nine o'clock tomorrow morning, we hit the debt ceiling. | ||
| We'll have a lot to talk about that throughout the day. | ||
| Bond market's got a vote here. | ||
| Magnificent view of the Capitol, a beautiful sunny day, low 20s. | ||
| What's so stunning is that it's haunting. | ||
| This is empty. | ||
| I mean, this would be one of the biggest crowds ever assembled. | ||
| And I think, remember, I want to say again, Jack Kennedy's was done on the east side, which the crowd could probably only get to probably 10,000 max. | ||
| It's just a small, compacted area over there in the plaza. | ||
| Supreme Court in back. | ||
| Library of Congress maybe get 15,000 or 20,000. | ||
| Here, they were thinking of a million. | ||
| There are 250,000 tickets, I think. | ||
| I think 10,000 seated, and then you had the rest were standing. | ||
| It looks Dave Bratt. | ||
| And I realize inside the Capitol is one of the great buildings in the world, and it's a magnificent space, everything like that. | ||
| But for an inauguration of the President of the United States, the majesty, solemnity, look at this, President Trump on that huge, magnificent stage. | ||
| Why is this empty? | ||
| You just said it. | ||
| What they're denying President Trump is that majesty, solemnity. | ||
| Eight years ago, I was sitting underneath Harold Trumpets. | ||
| And look what just came to your mind about the great presidents. | ||
| It's standing right there putting your hand on the Bible and taking solemn oaths. | ||
| I got some language on that later. | ||
| But they're keeping him from the solemnity and the seriousness of the day. | ||
| You're saying when those trumpets come out and they call the herald for everybody to gather. | ||
| It's like from ancient Rome. | ||
| The clans, the tribes are supposed to gather when they hear that. | ||
| That starts off the ceremony. | ||
| The symbolism of the presidency, the whole event. | ||
| It is scripted from soup to nuts for American greatness to renew all the historical themes that made us great. | ||
| The Judeo-Christian part comes out. | ||
| The Bible comes out. | ||
| All the other representatives are behind him, symbolically supporting him, theoretically. | ||
| I hope they do this time. | ||
| Well, the entire, so the staging, guys, if we can cut back to that, the staging, it'll be slightly different. | ||
| For the audience, the staging is that's the entire political class of Washington, D.C., of both parties. | ||
| And the administrative state and deep state. | ||
| They're all there. | ||
| Supreme Court. | ||
| Supreme Court. | ||
| You've got both houses of Congress, but you've also got members of different agencies, et cetera. | ||
| It's all there standing in back of him as he faces the people. | ||
| And like I said today, you're going to miss those images, those powerful images of Trump and this amazing comeback. | ||
| I have a proposal. | ||
| I have an idea here. | ||
| Look, we can complain about it. | ||
| We can whine about it. | ||
| But here's the thing. | ||
| Is there anything that says... | ||
| Right above us, that's another military helicopter. | ||
| You've got security helicopters all over the place. | ||
| There's nothing on paper, Steve. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| Think outside the box. | ||
| There's MAGA here, right? | ||
| There's nothing that says President Trump can't give an address to the nation any time that he wants. | ||
| Any place that he wants. | ||
| Any time, any place. | ||
| He did it at Mount Rushmore. | ||
| I was there on the 4th of July. | ||
| He could do it right here. | ||
| You can do it right here, the minute that the weather is all cleared. | ||
| You say, President Trump's addressed to the nation. | ||
| Look, remember he wanted to do sort of that early State of the Union back in 2017? | ||
| He did an address to Congress, addressed the Joint Chamber. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| You do an address to the American people. | ||
| You hold it right here. | ||
| You give the tickets out again. | ||
| You bring the people out. | ||
| We'll bring all the trumpets, because Brad needs his trumpets. | ||
| You give everything you want, all the pomp, all the circumstance. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Do it to get those images, to get the optics, to get the legitimacy and the solemnity that is necessary. | ||
| Okay, let's talk to people. | ||
| We've got military helicopters all over. | ||
| And you know the story. | ||
| John Solomon's in the main studio. | ||
| We're going to go to John in a minute. | ||
| So we're doing three things. | ||
| We've got John Solomon doing investigations and investigative reporting for us. | ||
| He's got the inside scoop. | ||
| We're here at the Capitol. | ||
| The ceremony is going to take place inside the Capitol. | ||
| They're still at the White House right now. | ||
| They've come out. | ||
| They have not come out. | ||
| I'm looking at my producer who worked and partied all night. | ||
| He got here at 6 in the morning. | ||
| He's terrific. | ||
| One piece to throw out. | ||
| We do have the watch party up for the posse, for the magus, for the people who couldn't be here. | ||
| Over at Gaylord, we've got room for maybe $1,000, $1,500, maybe two. | ||
| Gaylord Hotel? | ||
| Gaylord National Harbor. | ||
| People are already up. | ||
| People are already filling in. | ||
| I didn't charge a dime for this. | ||
| It's completely free. | ||
| Huge thank you. | ||
| To the Poles who came in and helped. | ||
| The Poles always come through. | ||
| They always come through. | ||
| Always come through in cold weather. | ||
| When the Ottomans are at the gate, Steve, who do you call? | ||
| You call the winged hussars. | ||
| Take Vienna. | ||
| Michael Rashawn and Dominic Czarczynski from Republica TV and the MEP over there from Poland. | ||
| They came over and they offered us their home. | ||
| So the Gaylord Hotel at National Harbor, Google it right now. | ||
| If you're in the area and events you're assigned to have been canceled, clearly if you're... | ||
| Ticket holder, we know it's at least $240,000 or $50,000 minimum MAGA. And I think people thought the crowd would be a million, and a lot of MAGA came without tickets. | ||
| I know even tickets were hard to get. | ||
| So if you got it, Gaylord Hotel, go. | ||
| Jack Pissot, one of those huge ballrooms, conference rooms. | ||
| It's a huge conference hall. | ||
| Conference Hall. | ||
| Okay, that's like where CPAC is. | ||
| Right down by the riverfront. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Check it out now. | |
| It would be better than freezing. | ||
| And not just that. | ||
| You have limited access here in the Capitol compound. | ||
| The people are not wandering around the streets. | ||
| You can't see anything. | ||
| Can we show the... | ||
| Can we show that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can't see it. | |
| There's nothing to see. | ||
| Is that police right there? | ||
| That's all police. | ||
| Okay, so right down, even on the gates, it's not spectators. | ||
| This is all police. | ||
| Two things. | ||
| Brett, let me go to you. | ||
| I want you and Natalie to jump in on this security. | ||
| Was it the outer perimeter that was a problem, or is it the drones? | ||
| Brett, what do you got for us? | ||
| Yeah, well, just here's some of the solemnity people. | ||
| Thank you. | ||

One of the four beasts saying, come and see. | |
| And I saw and behold. | ||
| I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts. | ||
| Come and see. | ||
| And I saw and behold a white horse. | ||
| There's a man going around taking names. | ||
| And he decides... | ||
| Everybody won't be treated all the same. | ||
| There'll be a golden ladder reaching down When the man comes around The hairs on your arm will stand up The terror in each sip and in each suck. | ||
| You partake of that last offered cup. | ||
| Or disappear into the potter's mouth. | ||
| When the man comes around. | ||
| Hear the trumpets, hear the piper. | ||
| One hundred million singers singing. | ||
| The altitude that marches through the big kettle drum. | ||
| Voices calling, voices crying. | ||
| Some are born and some are dying. | ||
| But Salfa and Omega's kingdom come. | ||
| And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree. | ||
| The virgins are trimming their wicks. | ||
| The whirlwind is in the palm tree. | ||
| It's hard for thee to kick against the bricks. | ||
| Till Armageddon, no shalom, no shalom. | ||
| Then the Father will he call his checkered tone. | ||
| The wise men will bow down before the throne. | ||
| And at his feet we'll cast the golden crowns. | ||
| When the man comes around. | ||
| Whoever is unjust, let him be a just still. | ||
| Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still. | ||
| Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still. | ||
| Listen to the words written down when the man comes around. | ||
| Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers. | ||
| One hundred million angels sing in. | ||
| Multitudes are marching to the big hill of Rome. | ||
| Voices calling and voices crying. | ||
| Plays at song and some have died. | ||
| Salfa and Omega's kingdom come. | ||
| And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree. | ||
| The virgins all are trimming their wits. | ||
| The whirlwind is in the thorn tree. | ||
| It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks. | ||
| And measure under saying, thank you and found. | ||
| When the man comes around. | ||
| And I heard as it were the noise of thunder. | ||
| Young men and women. | ||
| Everybody that's serving their country down there. | ||
| It's thousands, right? | ||
| It's thousands. | ||
| So God bless you. | ||
| Thank you for what you're doing. | ||
| And today the good news is working under the thumb of the administrative state and the regime is over. | ||
| That's the greatness of this day, the celebration. | ||
| There's joy in the hearts. | ||
| Grandmother down there when I entered in a wheelchair trying to get in. | ||
| But I saw her. | ||
| In the cold. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I know. | ||
| So our gang is tough. | ||
| And she's blocked. | ||
| And then she couldn't get in. | ||
| And then they started wheeling her. | ||
| She came off. | ||
| She was singing Ave Maria. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Toughest nails. | ||
| Okay, hold on. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| I want to thank Birchgold.com, end of the dollar empire, modern monetary theory, the chaos in the capital markets that you're going to see because they're trying to thwart President Trump too. | ||
| And I'm not so sure. | ||
| That is not CCP and others. | ||
| Like I said, the allies of the United States, particularly people in the United States that we support, ought to be on the bid. | ||
| They ought to be sitting on the bid, right? | ||
| Whatever is out there for the United States, a government treasurer, they ought to be sitting on the bid. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Dave Brett, Jack Posobiec, the Natalie Winters, Stephen K. Bannon here, Real America's Voice, The War Room. | ||
| We're here for, I don't know, many hours to come. | ||
| We're going to handle the ceremony this morning and then go Days of Thunder at noon. | ||
|

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
| Okay, thank you very much. | ||
| I gotta get my clock right here. | ||
| It's a little bit off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We like a sharp clock here at Worm, you know. | |
| How more gonzo can we get? | ||
| No. | ||
| Guys, I gotta... | ||
| If you want to get more ganja, I'll send Natalie down there. | ||
| Natalie, head for the steps! | ||
| Yeah, run across the field right there. | ||
| Go for it. | ||
| As a kid, being in Richmond, you come here all the time. | ||
| We've been here since 2011 or 2010, I think, with Andrew Breitbart. | ||
| This is very eerie, Brett. | ||
| Folks at home, this is just not right. | ||
| A part of the Capitol complex is a ghost town. | ||
| Now, it's not a ghost town because of the weather. | ||
| I just want to put that to bed. | ||
| It is not the weather. | ||
| It is not that cold. | ||
| It's cold, but it's called January. | ||
| Kennedy did it on the east side. | ||
| It was six degrees that day, but it was so dramatic with the vapor smoke coming out of people's mouths and that magnificent inaugural address. | ||
| Lincoln did it the first and second time. | ||
| Here in the West, you've had the West Wing, or the West Side of the Capitol, you've had Reagan's powerful, Trump's 16. There's something not right with this, and it's not the weather. | ||
| So if it's not the weather, the Imperial Capitol, they are hostile to President Trump. | ||
| They're winking at you. | ||
| Trump's action today, we're going to get into in a second, is going to be amazing. | ||
| On every different level, as we've been talking to you, it's just incredible. | ||
| But why are we sitting up here with police? | ||
| Military helicopters and no people for as far as the eye can see. | ||
| When I say the Capitol compound, I mean from miles around to Union Station all the way over to where the administrative state is. | ||
| There are literally no bodies except for police. | ||
| And I don't even see National Guard here. | ||
| Maybe some National Guard. | ||
| Everything's blocked off. | ||
| What is causing this, Jack Posovic? | ||
| Steve, what's causing this is an entrenched bureaucracy that's hostile to the American people. | ||
| They're hostile to Trump. | ||
| They're hostile to the people. | ||
| They're hostile to this movement. | ||
| They're hostile to, wait for it, the majority in this country because we won the popular vote. | ||
| And no AP. It's not 49.999. | ||
| It's over 50%. | ||
| They're terrified. | ||
| Well, not just that. | ||
| They're terrified of the mandate. | ||
| They're terrified of the optics. | ||
| They're terrified of giving him any... | ||
| Look, Steve. | ||
| It's been eight years. | ||
| It's been almost a decade since we've had a proper inauguration in this town. | ||
| That's why President Trump should come back here, shove it in their faces, and say, we're doing a national address. | ||
| MAGA is coming back. | ||
| Remember, they want the legacy of MAGA in D.C. to be J6. They want that to be the image of MAGA, not peaceful MAGA here celebrating. | ||
| They don't want him out there because that would be giving him the victory compared to the last image of MAGA on those steps. | ||
| They want the image... | ||
| The only image of the protest, that's the only thing they want you to see. | ||
| They don't want MAGA. They don't want the culmination. | ||
| They don't want Act 3. They don't want Act 3. They don't want you to see Act 3. They're denying it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think the next four years, right, the sort of main tenet of their resistance, whatever. | |
| You know, form it takes is the idea that Trump is an autocratic dictator and just the optics of this generally undermines that. | ||
| But more precisely, I think you hear the refrain coming from MSNBC, similar like they did in Brexit, saying that, you know, oh, well, you know, the working class people who voted for Trump, they didn't actually know what they were voting for, right? | ||
| They were suckers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was a haphazard decision. | |
| And I think that the millions of people who would have showed up here is a direct contradiction. | ||
| They can't show that sea of people. | ||
| Breaking news from your crack staff. | ||
| Bidens are leaving. | ||
| The White House leaving the T. So the transition looks like it's in process. | ||
| Things are starting to move. | ||
| And the American people, when you see a shutdown like this, Biden certainly was not in control of this decision, nor the other decisions prior. | ||
| Biden left the White House a long time ago. | ||
| That shows you the power of the administrative state. | ||
| Somebody else is making all these... | ||
| John Solomon joined us up here on election night. | ||
| We've asked him to be in a warmer place at the main studio of Real America's Voice in D.C. If we can split screen, I'd like to keep the camera on what's happening at the White House. | ||
| The rotunda. | ||
| Do we have outside the White House? | ||
| That's where they're going to leave from. | ||
| Elon Musk is there. | ||
| The surrender of the oligarchs. | ||
| John Solomon. | ||
| Can we get John Solomon in here? | ||
| John. | ||
| Hey, guys. | ||
| Why is the capital complex empty today? | ||
| You're the most well-sourced guy in town. | ||
| Is there a security threat? | ||
| Because it's not the cold, brother. | ||
| You know that. | ||
| No, it's not the cold. | ||
| If it's not cold enough for me to be up here in a barber, right? | ||
| It's not that cold. | ||
| So, John Solomon, why are we not on this magnificent west side of the capital with President Trump coming out and this magnificent sunshine and one million... | ||
| Multi-ethnic, multi-racial, right? | ||
| MAGA followers cheering him on on what would be one of the greatest inauguration days ever, sir. | ||
| Yeah, listen, I think you have it right. | ||
| The intelligence and police state have concocted the notion that there might be some antifa, and there might be some... | ||
| Okay, let's come back here to it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Can I hear John Salma? | ||
| John, I'm sorry, we couldn't hear you. | ||
| Your audio here was bad. | ||
| Can you repeat that? | ||
| How about now? | ||
| Can you hear it? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Listen, the reason why is that the intelligence state, the police state, have raised a concern that perhaps the Antifa and Proud Boys or some other group might clash today. | ||
| So let's keep all the people out of the place where they can celebrate. | ||
| And move democracy forward and give Donald Trump the smallest possible inauguration he could have. | ||
| Just like over the weekend, they leaked the details about the planned immigration raids in Chicago tomorrow, putting officers' life in jeopardy. | ||
| The resistance to Donald Trump is wounded, but it is not dead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
dead. | |
| And all these little things that you're seeing over the last 48 hours are signs that they're going to continue to put their foot out, continue to try to trip up Donald Trump. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| Donald Trump won't care about that. | ||
| In a few hours, he's going to unleash nearly 100 executive orders and presidential memorandum. | ||
| He will be fully in charge of this country, and this country will be changing no matter how much resistance the administrative state provides him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me go over this again. | |
| Do you, You don't think it was out of perimeter police, drones? | ||
| You think it was Antifa? | ||
| And if that's the case... | ||
| Doesn't Trump get a vote on that? | ||
| I mean, if they're telling me it's Antifa, I'm saying, hey, bro, we're going to have a million people out here. | ||
| I think it's terrible for... | ||
| I don't care if even it's out of perimeter or drones. | ||
| The show... | ||
| The enemies of the United States, particularly in Beijing, that we don't have this secured enough. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Can I just respond to that? | ||
| Because when we had the deplorable eight years ago last night, we had 500 Antifa outside attacking us, attacking our event, lighting fires, throwing stuff at us. | ||
| Batteries and eggs and any acid, anything they could find. | ||
| Attacking my mother, my, well, Tanya, who's my wife now, she wasn't at the time. | ||
| Pete Hegseth was there, by the way. | ||
| Go watch Pete Hegseth's footage, by the way, of the Antifa riot, of the 500 that were out there. | ||
| And they had phalanxes of, the MPD came out, by the way. | ||
| Yeah, the MPD, by the way, came out and they protected us and all of our, and we're coming in in the sequins and the tuxes and all of it and going on. | ||
| So don't tell me for a second if that's what they're trying to tell. | ||
| John, is that what you're hearing from the biosecurity apparatus? | ||
| Is that what you're hearing? | ||
| What we heard is that there was an intelligence warning put out. | ||
| Not Islamic terrorism. | ||
| Always the worry about lone wolves after the machete guy a couple days ago. | ||
| But the only known intelligence concern, by the way, is just a domestic concern that maybe two different sides of the ideological spectrum might clash on on Inauguration Day. | ||
| I know that's what the police state and the intelligence state was putting out there over the last two days. | ||
| There is no Islamic terrorism threat that they know of. | ||
| No credible concern about that. | ||
| There's always the lone wolf concern like New Orleans. | ||
| But that, coupled with the weather, has led to this sort of empty screen. | ||
| But I'm telling you, it won't matter to Donald Trump. | ||
| All the optics aside, he's going to change this country. | ||
| By tonight, America will be fundamentally changed. | ||
| Birthright citizenship going forward ended. | ||
| Military to the border. | ||
| A national emergency on energy. | ||
| What Donald Trump will do with just several swipes of a pen will transform four years of Biden's America into Trump's America. | ||
| But John, hang on. | ||
| Do we have the White House shot? | ||
| Okay, just leaving. | ||
| I don't have my glass on, so we're going to wing this. | ||
| The president is heading now to the Capitol. | ||
| We've had Elon Musk. | ||
| We've had Susie Wiles. | ||
| Others walk in the Capitol. | ||
| John, but here's the point. | ||
| We're supposed to have a kick-down-the-door raid tomorrow in Chicago. | ||
| Leaked by the administrative state. | ||
| Four administrative state people on Saturday. | ||
| Last night, Tom Homan and guys around him said, hey, maybe, maybe not. | ||
| It won't do it. | ||
| President Trump is going to be the president. | ||
| He's going to sign 100 executive actions, another 100 EOs, all of it. | ||
| You're going to see action, action across the board. | ||
| But the reality is... | ||
| We have not dug out the administrative state. | ||
| We have definitely not dug out the deep state. | ||
| You've been on that beat for 20 years. | ||
| You just don't think they're going to say, hey, because Trump takes the oath of office and MAGA's victorious, they're going to embrace and say, oh, this is terrific, do anything you want to do? | ||
| Yeah, no, they're not. | ||
| Listen, they're going to continue to put their foot out and try to trip up. | ||
| The biggest thing that Donald Trump and his team and Tom Homan and Kash Patel and Pam Bondi can do is to find a few early leakers, a few people that defied the president's orders. | ||
| And make a public example of them. | ||
| Let people know you're going to prison and Joe Biden can't pardon you now. | ||
| You get in the way of the federal government. | ||
| You will be prosecuted to the maximum help. | ||
| That will send a state. | ||
| Because listen, these guys are tough until they've got to go to prison. | ||
| Then all of a sudden they're not so tough anymore. | ||
| They're whining and crying and sniveling and running away. | ||
| Make the guys who moved out of Washington but collect the paycheck here come back. | ||
| Or sue them for fraud, for not being in the city where they're supposed to be working right now. | ||
| The second the president makes a few examples of the administrative state, they'll start cowering. | ||
| Otherwise, they're going to continue to play this game. | ||
| Donald Trump's current team is prepared to make some examples, warranted examples of people. | ||
| People who obstruct justice, people who put security of officers at risk, people who defy orders. | ||
| Listen, we had a poll out last week from Scott Raspers. | ||
| I think it's the most amazing poll. | ||
| Like, more than 50% of the bureaucrats who supported Kamala Harris, who, by the way, the majority of the federal bureaucrats, say... | ||
| They will try to defy President Trump. | ||
| There is a deep state. | ||
| They even admitted to it in a poll. | ||
| But the second that deep state pays consequences, it will start to recede. | ||
| We had Rob Bluey on last week about that poll. | ||
| Shocking. | ||
| Over 50% of the administrative state. | ||
| That's not even the deep state guys. | ||
| The hardest of the hardcore. | ||
| 50% of the administrative state, as Solomon just said. | ||
| We're going to resist Trump's actions. | ||
| That's what we're in. | ||
| We've got the helicopters around. | ||
| They're actually going to do split screen. | ||
| They're heading now up to the Capitol. | ||
| You've got other of the VIPs arriving in the Capitol. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break here in a minute. | ||
| Dave Brat, your thoughts as we get ready. | ||
| We're 80 minutes away from President Trump returning as President of the United States. | ||
| Your thoughts, sir? | ||
| Yeah, I'll just give folks, if you haven't ever taken your kids or family to the dome of the U.S. Capitol, equally iconic, right? | ||
| All religious, the figures up at the top, they look small to the eyeball. | ||
| They're 20, 30-foot tall figures. | ||
| All religious iconography pointing toward the heavens as you look toward the dome. | ||
| And then all the American patriotism from George Washington crossing the Delaware, the great paintings around. | ||
| And I think we're seeing... | ||
| And President Trump driving over to the Rotunda, but make sure you get your family there because it is just, you have to go there and bring your kids once in your life. | ||
| The good offices of Real America's Voice, we're not going to have no more commercial breaks until President Trump's inaugural address is over. | ||
| So for the next hour and a half, they're now heading for the White House up there. | ||
| You guys can probably see better than I can. | ||
| The personages coming in inside the Rotunda Dome. | ||
| And I believe it's only been done once before with President Reagan on his second term, right? | ||
| It was bitter cold that day. | ||
| I think it was 6, 7 degrees, right? | ||
| They had it inside the dome itself. | ||
| There were 1,000 as of last night, and that's coming from the 250,000 that were here down to, I think, 600. By the way, what you're seeing right now is the live shot. | ||
| That is President Trump's motorcade. | ||
| He's currently on his way making up. | ||
| I think he's driving by the FBI headquarters right there, and he's heading... | ||
| That's the FBI headquarters that after cash is confirmed, we're going to take it apart. | ||
| Yeah, that looks like the J. Edgar Hoover building right there. | ||
| And then he's going to be heading right up from the Capitol, coming up Pennsylvania Avenue, directly to the United States Capitol, where he's going to put his hand on that Bible. | ||
| If you see all the beautiful buildings that are around here in the Capitol complex... | ||
| And then you see the FBI headquarters. | ||
| It's brutalist architecture. | ||
| It's the fascist article of the 1930s, right? | ||
| Mussolini's theory of brutalist architecture. | ||
| It's an eyesore. | ||
| I'm going to give you Catholics a shout-out. | ||
| Brumidi painted that, the apotheosis, the top of the dome in the capital. | ||
| He worked for the Vatican, for the Pope. | ||
| And so you're talking, top of the line, George Washington is sitting there flanked by the cherubim and serubim and whatever. | ||
| I mean, that... | ||
| You don't get too much better than that, folks. | ||
| Get your family out and take a trip. | ||
| No, it's fantastic. | ||
| And that's today, instead of being on the west side of the Capitol, it'll be inside. | ||
| President Trump will be giving, and I think he'll be giving remarks. | ||
| His remarks today, as I said at the speech last night, he's trying to unite the country. | ||
| He's going to have a unifying speech. | ||
| He's trying to bring the country together. | ||
| As is, you know, he's trying to do. | ||
| He's going to talk, I think, a lot about the Sunlit Uplands, a lot about what he intends. | ||
| It's his vision of taking the country forward after this debacle we've just had. | ||
| Look, the country is united. | ||
| The country is united behind the agenda that they voted for in 2024 in November. | ||
| That's the unity. | ||
| And then the unity will be achieved through fulfilling the agenda that the American people voted for. | ||
| We can't let this town tell us that there isn't a mandate. | ||
| We can't let the people who made this happen today blame it on Antifa. | ||
| Antifa was setting limos on fire last time around here. | ||
| I think the motorcade is coming right by us. | ||
| If we can get the real American voice, if you can get the shot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There it is. | |
| On to the motorcade. | ||
| It's coming right below us. | ||
| The Beast. | ||
| There's the Beast. | ||
| We're in the Media Center 101. That's the solemnity. | ||
| There's the solemnity. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Here it comes. | ||
| There he is. | ||
| Passing it right now. | ||
| The President of the United States is passing it. | ||
| That would be Donald Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Also the U.S. Going viral now. | |
| We're on Constitution Avenue. | ||
| We're at 101, right next to the FBI headquarters. | ||
| This is the Fox News is here, all the big news agencies, and of course, the voice of Matt Guerrilla, America's voice in the war room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're in enemy territory. | |
| I think you're under a cell. | ||
| I was walking up the elevator. | ||
| Okay, Jack, if all these folks should see, when you have this motorcade... | ||
| You've got paramedics, you've got paramilitary, you've got military, you've got secret service, you have all of it. | ||
| But now... | ||
| Oh no, but Antifa! | ||
| We're too worried about Antifa, Steve. | ||
| None of these guys can handle a couple of goons from Antifa, apparently. | ||
| Talk to me about these new... | ||
| I'm sorry, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. | ||
| By the way, I'm not knocking Solomon's reporting, to be clear. | ||
| No, Solomon's giving you the straight skinny. | ||
| That's what they're talking about. | ||
| But if that's the excuse... | ||
| Then I want to find the guy who did that, and I'll send him to an Antifa meeting. | ||
| Talk to me about these new antennas that have gotten a lot of visibility on the vehicles themselves. | ||
| So what you're looking at on those antennas, that's counter drone technology. | ||
| Those are jammers that operate on... | ||
| It's basically a randomized jammer, so they do free copying, free... | ||
| ...to potentially try to jam any communications between drones and their operators. | ||
| This is something that really came out of the battlefield in Ukraine. | ||
| It's something that we've seen in the counter-drone electronic warfare, the EW battle space. | ||
| So a quarter of a trillion dollars that Zelensky in his cronies skimmed off 20% off the top. | ||
| We at least ended up with anti-drone technology. | ||
| A little bit, but I'm feeling better already. | ||
| I'll tell you what, though. | ||
| One thing that the Russians do to beat that on the battlefield, by the way, and Eric Prince has talked about this on my show on Human Events, that they beat it with old tech, Steve. | ||
| They just run like a fiber optic cable, basically as thin as a fishing line, but a mile long. | ||
| They attach it to the drone. | ||
| Boom, no signal. | ||
| Instead of having crowds up and down this street traditionally to wave and to cheer the president, As he comes, the president-elect, as he comes up, to be greeted by the American people. | ||
| You want to make it look like a funeral procession. | ||
| It looks like a funeral procession. | ||
| It's absolutely, there's nobody here, just cops, just, it looks like the metro police. | ||
| And the White House, the people's house, right? | ||
| These are not empty phrases. | ||
| And this is the Congress of the representatives of the people of the United States. | ||
| And it's empty. | ||
| It's barren. | ||
| On a normal day, it's crawling. | ||
| It's a message. | ||
| It's a message. | ||
| Message received. | ||
| Message received. | ||
| They're calling up right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Brad, can you see that? | ||
| Because it's beyond my... | ||
| It's great. | ||
| And here's the response to the message. | ||
| They're pulling up in front of the Capitol right now. | ||
| The response to the message is when all of the bureaucrats get fired, when we Schedule F, all of you guys, and we take down the SES level, when we take out the 15s and the 14s and all the GSs, and you're all crying to us, and the media's saying, oh no, oh boohoo, who's going to run the government? | ||
| We're going to say, sorry. | ||
| Sorry, you chose this course of action. | ||
| Okay, we're going to keep the visual up there. | ||
| You can see the arrival of the president-elect and all the major entourage. | ||
| John Solomon, at noon, as soon as President Trump takes the oath, my understanding is thousands of Biden people have already been given their walking papers. | ||
| They're to clean out their offices and be gone. | ||
| By noon, I mean thousands. | ||
| I think every commission, every board that people are on, their government appointees, the 3,000 non-Senate confirmed he's got, and most of the Senate confirmed. | ||
| Plus, I believe we're going to see U.S. attorneys, and I think they're going to clean out a couple of rat's nests to some of these U.S. attorneys. | ||
| Maybe Southern District of New York, just a random thought. | ||
| John Solomon, what are you hearing with your sources? | ||
| Well, listen, there will be a fundamentally different-looking government by 5 p.m. | ||
| today. | ||
| There will be Trump aides taking power. | ||
| While we're waiting for John, I'll let the folks at home that haven't been here, you know, the Capitol, the architects of the city, the Capitol is connected to the White House by Pennsylvania Avenue. | ||
| But looking right behind us, here's your trick question for the day. | ||
| What road connects the Supreme Court in the far background to the Capitol? | ||
| Answer? | ||
| None. | ||
| And that's the way it should be because the Justice Department and the rule of law is supposed to be separate, independent, and following the Constitution. | ||
| So architecturally, they did not connect the Supreme Court to the U.S. Capitol. | ||
| They're supposed to be separate entities, and boy, I'm yearning for the day where that actually happens again. | ||
| In the first couple of decades, the Supreme Court was actually in the basement of the Senate, wasn't it? | ||
| In fact, I think when they gave the Dredge-Scott decision, it was that old chamber of the Supreme Court. | ||
| It moved over after, I think, the Civil War. | ||
| You're right, won this magnificent building that people see today. | ||
| Dave, put us there. | ||
| Now, I don't think we're going to have all members of Congress. | ||
| I know you can't have spouses, but with the 600 to 1,000, and we've heard they've cut down to 600, you limit it. | ||
| And I think most of the foreign dignitaries, it's very unusual, I think the first time they've ever invited foreign dignitaries. | ||
| Yesterday we had a big celebration for Bolsonaro, and the Brazilians and Bolsonaro were restricted from coming. | ||
| But put us inside the Capitol. | ||
| What's that going to be like? | ||
| Yeah, well, I... I am kind of surprised the rotunda. | ||
| I can't picture that being much bigger than the House chamber, where they have the State of the Union, right? | ||
| The State of the Union, they house all the... | ||
| Much smaller. | ||
| Much smaller. | ||
| That's what I would think, right? | ||
| The House chamber is far, far larger than the rotunda. | ||
| Than the rotunda? | ||
| The rotunda, people should know. | ||
| If you see the top of the Capitol, the rotunda is directly below that. | ||
| Directly below it, right. | ||
| And then below that, there's other... | ||
| Archive. | ||
| Statuary Hall below that. | ||
| It's going to be some tight quarters, but it is stunning. | ||
| Visually, it's stunning. | ||
| Hopefully, they get that right for President Trump. | ||
| Can we get that shot up from inside? | ||
| Steve, I'm just going to call it out. | ||
| Where's the formality of the dress of the attendees of this? | ||
| People are there. | ||
| Elon was wearing a talk, so I'll give him that. | ||
| But you're seeing people dress like it's another day at work at the Capitol. | ||
| You're not seeing the formality. | ||
| There was a time in this country where people would understand that when you dress for a ceremonial event like this, A historic event that you drop the blue ties and the fun socks and all the nonsense that people wear. | ||
| What do they call it? | ||
| The glossy shirts and all this. | ||
| Bedazzled, right? | ||
| Bespoke. | ||
| Bespoke. | ||
| That's what I was going for. | ||
| I was going for my Zoomer words here. | ||
| It looks like another day. | ||
| It's grubby. | ||
| It's another day of the Capitol. | ||
| Another day of business. | ||
| Again, they're denying him the solemnity. | ||
| They're denying him... | ||
| At least you got some white gloves there. | ||
| It looks like from the sergeant at arms. | ||
| But that's about it. | ||
| And I don't know. | ||
| I don't think it looks right at all. | ||
| Well, one of the reasons they're doing this is, to Natalie's point earlier, the symbology of this and showing that the country has come together around him. | ||
| This is a multiracial, multiethnic of every class that we have has come together in the back of President Trump. | ||
| And that's what they're trying to do to deny him. | ||
| They understand the days of thunder about to start in 60 minutes. | ||
| Capitals really lie in state. | ||
| Do what? | ||
| Rotunda's where you lie in state, by the way. | ||
| Yes, yes. | ||
| Jimmy Carter was just there. | ||
| Not with massive crowds either, I might add. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So this is right here. | ||
| Once again, the entourage has gone by. | ||
| Normally, you would have screaming crowds because this is where the parade would go right afterwards. | ||
| So this would already be... | ||
| The staging would be up. | ||
| The stands would be down the street. | ||
| They'd be five or six deep right here welcoming... | ||
| The new president to the Capitol for the ceremony. | ||
| And yet what we have here, we have the bike police of the Metropolitan Police bike brigade is going by. | ||
| And absolutely empty streets. | ||
| I mean, it's for miles that you can see this. | ||
| And so for all the hundreds of thousands, and I mean hundreds of thousands of MAGA that had tickets, you can go still to National Harbor and go to the Polish embassy working with Jack Posobiec. | ||
| It's actually Polish TV. Polish TV. By the way, Tanya Tay just got the text. | ||
| She's over there with the boys. | ||
| So we got the Polish party over there for the MAGA Watch party. | ||
| Tanya's over there. | ||
| Huge shout-out to Dominik Tartinsky, the MEP over there. | ||
| He came in, as well as Michael Roshan from Republica TV. Just stepped up. | ||
| They had already had a Polish-American summit that was going on for a couple of days, so they had the booking down. | ||
| They said, look, just open the doors a couple hours early. | ||
| Come on in. | ||
| Let's talk about that. | ||
| Yesterday, we put a brunch on for four hours. | ||
| I think we had 500 people come through. | ||
| We put it on for the Brazilians. | ||
| Well, the whole world is here. | ||
| The whole world. | ||
| That's a little unusual, right? | ||
| I think this is what President Trump draws this energy. | ||
| We had a little bit of that in 2016, but heretofore, you've had ambassadors come, the ambassadors to the United States, but you haven't had people come from around the world, and particularly from all the sovereigntist movements. | ||
| Well, I have a question for Natalie Winters. | ||
| What are your thoughts? | ||
| On the fact that the Vice President of the People's Republic of China, Vice President, by the way, which isn't even a real title in China, because nobody's elected. | ||
| Xi Jinping is not the president. | ||
| He's the chairman. | ||
| They don't even say, in Chinese, you say Chairman Xi. | ||
| What are your thoughts on him sending a high-level dignitary like that, meeting with J.D. Vance, and he's going to be attending here today? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I wouldn't meet with them. | |
| I think it's wrong. | ||
| I think the Chinese Communist Party has been receiving better treatment and a better welcome than MAGA, frankly. | ||
| Honestly, I think... | ||
| Does that upset you? | ||
| Do you think MAGA gets that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| But, I mean, look, I think that, frankly, what you're seeing going on right now is almost more anti-democratic and, I think, election denialism than, you know, January 6th in the MSNBC construct of it was. | ||
| Wow, tell me about that. | ||
| What do you mean by that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, think about it. | |
| What they're essentially saying to President Trump is, yeah, well, you can win an election, but we're not going to seat you, right, in any meaningful term. | ||
| We're not going to give you the actual... | ||
| And we're not going to give you the pageantry... | ||
|
unidentified
|
And do you know why? | |
| Because they want to send the message that who's running this country, it's not fundamentally changing, right? | ||
| They don't need to have an inauguration because the regime still wants to hold their power. | ||
| And I think to your point about certain countries, I think the Brazilians, we understand collectively the globalist regime that we're pushing back against. | ||
| There's the same entities that have been involved in either the election rigging, like the Carter Center has been involved in the elections here and in Brazil. | ||
| We get the common enemy and that common enemy is the one that is now depriving MAGA of inauguration. | ||
| Well, actually not right. | ||
| I think that nails it very succinctly. | ||
| We're within an hour and four minutes of taking the oath and President Trump assuming the presidency. | ||
| Tell me why she's not right. | ||
| That this is the administrative deep state and the folks who actually run this country saying, hey, we don't care. | ||
| Natalie's always right. | ||
| She's absolutely right. | ||
| And Kash Patel in his book, I mean, it's a little stunning. | ||
| The only time they draw down the security is for J6. Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| She admitted it. | ||
| She's on tape. | ||
| And then Cash has one little detail in his book, which seems minor, and it's not. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi requested an A1 Abrams tank as a photo op for J6. That's what she wanted, because you've got to fight against us Presbyterians. | ||
| You know, we're really scary, and these Catholic brothers with the crosses. | ||
| We're a really scary crew, right? | ||
| You've got to have Abrams A1-10. | ||
| I don't recall ever being scared of a Presbyterian. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Don't even get... | ||
| Now! | ||
| Now! | ||

Hold on, hold on, hold on. | |

You can tell he's not from Ireland, right? | |
| So we have people. | ||
| We have a split screen right there. | ||
| The dignitaries are coming into the Capitol right now, to the Rotunda, to be seated for the ceremony. | ||
| Within an hour, it starts at 11.30. | ||
| It's a fairly succinct ceremony. | ||
| You have some prayers. | ||
| You have some patriotic hymns. | ||
| You have... | ||
| No, we're not taking breaks. | ||
| Thank you, producer. | ||
| We're rolling with this. | ||
| Thank you for setting this up so I can now see it. | ||
| Okay, what are we seeing here today, Brad, when we look at this? | ||
| What are you seeing? | ||
| Yeah, it's... | ||
| They're in... | ||
| Under the dome, as you said, and then down both sides, right? | ||
| What you're staring at, folks at home, is the Senate side, right? | ||
| That's where the Senate chambers are. | ||
| So if you look down one grand corridor, you see the Senate. | ||
| You have to bow before the Senators still. | ||
| That's part of the cult religion up here. | ||
| The House side is over to the far right. | ||
| And so inside, you're seeing under the dome. | ||
| And the majesty of the architecture of the dome. | ||
| And then they're just setting up the agenda of the day. | ||
| At least the people at the head of the thing should be in more formal attire, do you think? | ||
| Where's the white tie? | ||
| Where's the white tie? | ||
| Look, compare this. | ||
| We're not trying to be negative. | ||
| This isn't the royal family. | ||
| This isn't the royal family. | ||
| What we're trying to set up is what reality is, is that President Trump... | ||
| It's not going to be welcome. | ||
| Bezos' wife is right there, by the way. | ||
| So the spouses of the Congress folks can't get in. | ||
| But Bezos is head of the Washington Post. | ||
| That's Bezos right there. | ||
| His wife got in. | ||
| No, that's Bezos. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Are they married yet? | ||
| I think the girlfriend. | ||
| His side piece. | ||
| The side piece. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So think about that, folks. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| You don't get an inauguration. | ||
| Jeff Bezos is in there. | ||
| Gotta love it. | ||
| Jeff Bezos is in there. | ||
| The CCP is in there. | ||
| Setting the table, folks. | ||
| We're setting the table. | ||
| It doesn't look like the imperial capital is ready for MAGA, you would say that? | ||
| And I think in 59 minutes or an hour and one minute when President Trump takes charge, and we start doing the executive... | ||
| Look, 100 executive orders, maybe as many as 50 have OSO opinions. | ||
| They're talking about 100 executive actions. | ||
| Oh, this is the top of the hour. |
