| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | |
| Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| Here's not got a free shot on 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 line? | |
| MAGA Media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | |
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | |
| Waru. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass. | |
| Okay, well, I want to thank John Solomon and the team. | |
| We're here in the studio, so we will take the six o'clock hour. | |
| We have Chris Paihota, former assistant director of the FBI, is with us. | |
| The Border Hawk is with us. | |
| He's in the streets near the shooting itself. | |
| Of course, Jack Basobic's with us. | |
| What I'd like to do right now for the audience that are just coming into the show is I want to play, there was a very short press avail by the director of the FBI, by Mayor Bowser, by the acting assistant of DC Metro. | |
| Let's go ahead and play that and I'll get commentary from the team. | |
| Let's go ahead and let it rip. | |
| Is it the infamy? | |
| Are we ready? | |
| Great. | |
| Good afternoon, everybody. | |
| My name is Kash Patel, FBI Director. | |
| We're here to brief you on the tragic events that happened today at approximately 2.15 local time in Washington, D.C., where two of our brave members of the National Guard and the 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 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 shortchange the American public with no resources to make sure we find and safeguard our nation's capital right here in Washington, D.C., and bring anyone responsible for this heinous act of violence to justice. | |
| I would lastly like to add to the American public and 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 Carroll of the Metropolitan Police Department. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Good afternoon, 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 him 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. | |
| Madam Mayor? | |
| 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 DC National Guard, from the West Virginia National Guard, United States Secret Service, Deputy Mayor Pia, Fire Chief Donnelly, and Metro's General Manager Randy Clark. | |
| And we join with the 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 Pierot, who assured me that this case will have her office's complete attention. | |
| Mayor, was there any other suspect? | |
| Chief? | |
| Sure. | |
| So, no, at this time, there was no indication that 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. | |
| Mayor, does this validate the need for the National Guard here in DC? | |
| 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. | |
| Can you tell us about more details on the condition of the two National Guards at the moment 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 find the perpetrators for this act. | |
| So, just to clarify, the person believed to be responsible is in custody and there are no other suspects. | |
| Sure, 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. | |
| You got any sense of him? | |
| Tell us about a motive. | |
| No, at this time, obviously, we're very in the preliminary stages of investigation. | |
| You know, 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. | |
| Did they get off charge? | |
| At this time, that's part of the preliminary investigation. | |
| Can we know how the suspect was at Chief? | |
| 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 that 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. | |
| And he was shot by the National Guard team? | |
| At this point, we're still investigating exactly who shot that individual. | |
| It's not clear at this time. | |
| With your DC police men in the area? | |
| We don't know what 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 Divisional Secret Service were in the immediate area as well. | |
| What kind of weapon the alleged perpetrators used? | |
| We do not know at this time. | |
| Still know this fire. | |
| We're going to be able to take a couple more. | |
| Can you tell us whether law enforcement has been able to question the suspect, or is his condition so severe that you haven't been able to have a conversation? | |
| Sure. | |
| So as I said, we're very preliminary in the investigation. | |
| So we're looking into all aspects of who the individual is, his connections at this time. | |
| He's still in the hospital receiving treatment. | |
| And I would just like to hang on. | |
| I would just like to add the reason that this Chris, I want to ask you, because you've been with the FBI for many decades, the third headline, breaking news from NBC, authorities still working to identify the shooter. | |
| Now, we understand that the shooter was not cooperating with authorities, but Tom Warner's reporting authorities believe they are close to identifying the man they believe is responsible for today's targeted attack. | |
| Two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation say. | |
| How would the FBI go if the guy's not cooperating, he's taking a couple of slugs? | |
| How would the FBI go about that? | |
| Well, you could take his fingerprints, first of all, make sure he's not in any of our biometric databases. | |
| You'd also be able to do facial recognition, see if he comes up in any social media or internet channels. | |
| And there are other court-ordered activities that the FBI could do to match identity. | |
| So they would start that right away. | |
| If the guy's not cooperating, that's only going to slow him down so much in trying to identify the shooter and any type of networks or any type of relationships he has going to social media, all of that? | |
| That's correct. | |
| They're going to start doing that immediately. | |
| If he is uncooperative, meaning he won't give his own biographic information for them to check, they'll start running other ways to validate his identity. | |
| And again, as you said, to see if he has a network of friends around him that warrant investigation. | |
| If someone was not cooperating, but you had the ability to take fingerprints, you do the facial recognition, other technical aspects the FBI had, how long would that take the FBI? | |
| Is that a matter of minutes? | |
| Is it 30 minutes, an hour? | |
| How long? | |
| How, you know, we keep hearing about Palantir and all these databases. | |
| How sophisticated these databases and how accessible they are to agents in a hospital with a guy that's probably an ICU? | |
| Well, what you have right now is a, I hate to say a willing participant. | |
| He is unconscious, right? | |
| He may not be fully conscious. | |
| He may be under the influence of pain medication or he may be just coming out of an operation. | |
| What they can do is access all available FBI national asset databases. | |
| The FBI maintains all of the National Criminal Information Center data. | |
| They maintain all the biometric information for the FBI. | |
| And they also have access to other, I would just say, repositories of information that they can check in their own internal records as well as across the law enforcement and intelligence communities. | |
| Jack Pasobic, Chris, thanks. | |
| Just hanging with us. | |
| Pesobic, any updates on what you're hearing? | |
| I know there's a lot of rumors going around, a ton of information. | |
| I don't know if you had a chance to filter it, but you're hearing anything else. | |
| Well, Steve, of course, we are digging in more on this individual. | |
| As you mentioned before, already no ID been made, but I do know from contacts within the government that that's exactly what they're doing right now. | |
| They're running his facial identification, trying to see if he can match in, not only for the law enforcement databases, but also with recent arrivals at points of entry, airports to the United States, international travel, try to see if any of his photo was taken at any aircraft or airport in recent times, see if it matches using that facial recognition database through the Department of Homeland Security. | |
| So, of course, there's a lot that's coming in. | |
| Still hearing word on the National Guardsmen that they're not out of the woods yet and that we do want to keep everyone praying for them. | |
| The other piece that I'm hearing aside from that is that tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern, there's going to be a group of people that are gathering at the National Mall calling for a candlelight vigil. | |
| So if anyone wants to reach out to that, it's the National Mall, excuse me, the Washington Monument on the National Wall. | |
| So the Washington Monument, 8 p.m. is where people are gathering for a candlelight vigil. | |
| Okay, 8 p.m., that is right. | |
| If you're at the White House, just look right down. | |
| You see the rise, and you see the Washington Monument. | |
| Hard to miss. | |
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | |
| Johnny Connolly take us out with America Heart. | |
| I want to thank our sponsor tonight. | |
| Didn't get our reads in, but Birch Gold, make sure you go check out with Philip Patrick and the team in times of turbulence. | |
| And man, we have times of turbulence. | |
| We're going to come back. | |
| Borderhawk is down there right near the scene of the shooting. | |
| We're going to get him to put it in context of how actually close this was to the White House. | |
| I want to thank everybody's help us with the broadcast so far and all the information is coming in. | |
| We're trying to glean right now what's going on with the two heroes, the two National Guardsmen that were shot. | |
| Also with the perpetrator, I looked at the FBI with a non-witness who is not working with the FBI, coming to some conclusion about who this is. | |
| I'm sure we'll hear about that hopefully not too long. | |
| Short commercial break. | |
| We're going to return to this horrific tragedy right near the White House today in Washington, D.C. back in a moment. | |
| I got American part. | |
| I got American fame in America. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Wid Lyman, the Borderhawk, joins us. | |
| Wid, first I'll put a perspective. | |
| How close would this all occur to the White House? | |
| You're actually on the scene. | |
| And what proximity are we to the actual White House itself? | |
| So this area right here is where the yellow tape starts. | |
| You can kind of see it behind me. | |
| And then if you go up this road about two blocks, you're going to get to the north part of the White House there. | |
| So we're very close. | |
| It looks like the main site is going to be sort of over my left shoulder. | |
| That's where the main large breach of the federal officials are conducting their operation. | |
| And that is where it's reported where it occurred. | |
| So looking at maybe a block or two at most from Lafayette Park, just north on the side of the White House there. | |
| So very, very close. | |
| I mean, anything in Washington is going to be pretty close to the White House itself. | |
| It's not a very large area, so to speak, but we're looking at just a few blocks away. | |
| We have some very bad news. | |
| WID, I want to report, and I'll get Jack and Chris in here, that the NBC News is reporting from officials who are working this, a government official working this, that both the National Guardsmen were shot in the head. | |
| Do you have any other updates on that? | |
| That's pretty consistent with some of the preliminary unconfirmed photos that we've seen, bandages on the head, National Guardsmen being in critical condition. | |
| It also lines up with a close ambush style attack. | |
| You know, the assailant, you know, allegedly pulled the firearm out and opened at a very close distance. | |
| So, you know, it sounds like he was targeting these National Guardmen with the intent of assassination. | |
| Chris, thanks, WID. | |
| Hang on. | |
| Chris, any thoughts on that? | |
| They're reporting now that both National Guardsmen were both shot in the head. | |
| Any thoughts on that? | |
| Well, first of all, I'm glad they're still in critical condition and they're not deceased from their injuries. | |
| Second of all, if you had headshots on both of these National Guard personnel, I would think that it makes it more of a likely targeted attack where this person may have caught them walking away, shot them from behind, and was able to get two or three clean shots off before they reacted. | |
| So it lends credence to the use of the word targeted. | |
| I would imagine after you see the photos, I haven't seen the photos, but you can see maybe if they were fired upon from behind, that would be most logical versus a face-to-face attack where he drew a weapon and fired on them. | |
| It would also, I think, wouldn't it lead you to in a chaotic situation where your adrenaline's up, that this guy must have not just known what he was doing, but been a pretty good shot? | |
| Absolutely. | |
| If you're training rounds, definitely he must have been fairly proficient with a firearm. | |
| But again, if he caught them walking away from behind, still pretty handled the firearm fairly well because of adrenaline and the situation at hand. | |
| So either way, he was this individual, I use the word he because I assumed it's a male, but this individual obviously knew how to handle a firearm. | |
| Chris, also, and this is unfortunate, but the D.C. hospitals, particularly the ones in the Capitol complex around there, know a thing or two about handling gunshot wounds. | |
| I mean, so these two brave National Guardsmen shot in the head at relatively close range. | |
| Your point is, hey, you're glad the reports still are they're in critical condition. | |
| But if you had to go to a place, if you had to be in a place being in D.C., given the unfortunate high volume of crime in the city, and particularly violent crime, you're going into emergency rooms that know what they're doing. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| I'm sure they have, unfortunately, a lot of practice in the high trauma treatment areas, and they get a lot of practice with gunshot wounds, unfortunately. | |
| So yes, those two guardsmen were, I'm sure they're in good hands. | |
| Jack, some of the information you were getting earlier would fall in line with knowing that the two guardsmen were shot at relatively close range in the head that NBC News is reporting. | |
| Would it not, sir? | |
| Steve, one of the first things that we heard from sources close to the White House, the phrase point-blank range was the first thing that anyone had said to me that basically walked up, shot them point-blank range. | |
| Some of the first images that we saw across X showed those bandages to the side of the head, showed blood on the ground. | |
| And in which case, you know, there's a lot of questions about what exactly the situation is if they're in critical condition. | |
| But, and it's unfortunate to say this, but this is what we also saw with some of those victims in Minneapolis, the victims of at that Catholic school, those little children of the shooter there, many of which were also shot in the head. | |
| And then there were questions as to whether or not they would live. | |
| Now, amazingly and miraculously, two of the little girls who had been shot in the head were actually able to be saved in that situation. | |
| But of course, that can only occur if there is not permanent damage to the brain, to the brainstem, the central nervous system, like with Charlie Kirk. | |
| So a lot of questions as to what exactly the status was. | |
| But we have seen people survive headshots in the recent past. | |
| Medical progress has come very far. | |
| So I'm sure everyone is going to be praying for these guardsmen right now as they're fighting for their lives. | |
| No, that's what I'm saying. | |
| And all this tragedy, if you had to be shot in the head of headwound, the trauma divisions of these hostels, given the volume of violent crimes in our violent capital. | |
| With Lyman, it would seem to me that an individual that is a block or so from the actual White House itself, as highly patrolled as that is, you have the National Guard on patrol that would walk up with a targeted but get to basically point-blank range and shoot two National Guardsmen in the head. | |
| The calculus they must have gone through is that I may not make it out of here. | |
| I mean, this is probably as close to a suicide mission as you could get, sir. | |
| I'm not sure that there's a worse place to try this level of violence. | |
| I mean, you're looking at dozens of different kinds of law enforcement in this area, very highly patrolled. | |
| You heard the Metropolitan Chief there mention the high visibility patrol, which is what we see a great deal in this area and towards the monuments. | |
| You know, this is obviously one of the worst places to do that. | |
| And, you know, we are grateful, as a gentleman mentioned, that the National Guardsmen are fighting. | |
| But that person knew that he would have an immediate, very large response, Secret Service, FBI, U.S. Marshals. | |
| You have ICE and HSI agents all over DC now, also patrolling, not to mention the National Guardsmen, which was reported that they were armed. | |
| They did not start out armed, though. | |
| I will say that that was an early adjustment that they added carrying their handgun, their service pistol. | |
| That did not start out that way, though. | |
| That came in a little bit later. | |
| So, yeah, this is one of the worst places to commit any of these crimes. | |
| But as Jack pointed out, there's plenty of shootings in D.C. in general. | |
| I mean, this is a very violent city. | |
| Even with President Trump's efforts, we're still seeing a great deal of violence. | |
| We've done ride-alongs with Metro Police Department. | |
| We have done inbeds with all sorts of law enforcement, and they're telling us the same thing that D.C. does have a crime problem. | |
| Just a few weeks ago, we had back-to-back weekends of mass shootings, three or more. | |
| Seven people were shot in one weekend. | |
| So, I mean, we're still looking at a lot of violence. | |
| So, people here are, I think, brazen despite the massive amounts of law enforcement that does patrol very openly. | |
| Chris, your thoughts too. | |
| I mean, if you're going to do this, and maybe you've cased the place or case this, you have to assume it's going to be low probability that you, the shooter, is going to make it out alive. | |
| Does that change your idea about the profile of this? | |
| And maybe it's not a, it's not in the moment, it's not emotions, it's not on a whim, but somebody's pretty focused on sending a message here, knowing that in all likelihood, they're not going to make it out alive. | |
| There could be two things: one, again, mentally unbalanced, couldn't weigh the consequences and the dire circumstances that they were in. | |
| Two, that they had already, I guess they resigned themselves to the fact that they were going to sacrifice themselves for their cause or for their ideology. | |
| And if they didn't make it out of this confrontation, they had already made peace with that. | |
| In my opinion, it's one of those two scenarios you're dealing with. | |
| Wid, real quick, before we go to breakout, about a minute, has there been enough, because getting to this guy's motivation, has there been enough kind of blowback from the community? | |
| I thought a lot of people in the community accepted the fact it was such a high crime and they actually welcomed the National Guard to help put it down that it was really commentators. | |
| In any of the ride-alongs, anything you see was the population of DC pushing back on this. | |
| I would say there was a mixed bag as far as the response to extra National Guard and extra law enforcement being on the ground. | |
| Some people were very grateful. | |
| A lot of people who live here, though, they don't believe that they necessarily need it. | |
| You know, we spoke with a barbecue owner on the northeast side of D.C., and he said as long as they keep to themselves and keep the situation safe, that it's fine. | |
| But he had apprehensions, and even see the people inside the restaurant were apprehensive. | |
| So you do have a bit of a mixed bag. | |
| What I will say, though, is if you talk to any tourists that come in, they're very grateful that they're there. | |
| Wid, hang on for a second. | |
| We've got an all-star panel, and Jack Basobic is riding shotgun with. | |
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | |
| We're going to return a tragedy in Washington, D.C., two National Guardsmen shot at close range in the head, struggling for their life right now, both in critical condition. | |
| A shooter that's also been said to be in critical condition. | |
| We'll have all the updates for you when we return in the war room here in Real America's Voice. | |
| Back in a moment. | |
| Open your eyes, no time to be blind. | |
| Open your mind to see. | |
| We're in a modern day. | |
| Holy war, come in after nine to fight your soul. | |
| All is true. | |
| Modern day. | |
| Holy war. | |
| What do you think as a lawyer? | |
| What do you think the consequences should be for people who are abiding by following these steps from the commander-in-chief when they seem to be complete overreaches of power? | |
| They're following unlawful commands from Donald Trump. | |
| And if you're committing offenses and your defense is going to be, I was just following orders. | |
| You know, that didn't work out so well at Nuremberg. | |
| It certainly didn't work out so well for Lieutenant Callie when he, you know, engaged in mass murder, the Mili massacre. | |
| And, you know, Pete Hegseth just doing whatever Donald Trump tells him to do, like initiating a criminal investigation that could result in a court martial of Senator Kelly for simply stating accurately what the military law provides or Kash Patel's FBI opening criminal probes of members of Congress for speaking the truth. | |
| You know, that is something that will someday, when the rule of law comes back into the light of day, will have to be tackled. | |
| They'll have to be held accountable for those abuses. | |
| It's going to be accounting for all of this and remembering all of it. | |
| Of two people fighting for their lives, guardsmen, that this president put there. | |
| And as I said, I was one that was very vocal against that. | |
| But I'm not going to belittle the fact that their lives are at stake to get into a back and forth with the president. | |
| I can say that if I'm a member of their families, I don't want to hear what he's saying about Honduras right now. | |
| I want to pray that these two guardsmen who were ordered there and who we're being told by the mayor was ambushed make it through. | |
| And all of this about sending in 500 people, what does that have to do with where we are now? | |
| Think that we've got to, those of us that have been opposed to the president's policy, show that we're not going to morally match him by going down to a level of insensitivity. | |
| They're two people fighting for their lives on Thanksgiving Eve. | |
| And it just seems ironic to me that people that pardoned people assaulting police officers are now talking about how they're going to uphold and look up to the people in the building. | |
| People in that building will beat January 6th. | |
| So, Chris Pihota, how dangerous is that rhetoric, particularly the one at Saki at the beginning, that if you're going to do this, you're going to be investigated? | |
| What are your thoughts about that as a former senior member of the FBI? | |
| It's dangerous and divisive, and it creates a situation where people who are already at the lunatic fringes of ideology are pushed then into acts of violence, and it's unproductive, and it's just flat, it's embarrassing that our national leaders and prominent members of the media engage in that type of discussion. | |
| Jack Bosobic, Darty, Eric Darty has put up, I think you've seen it, that photo of the individual we've seen. | |
| He's saying now CNN is reporting that breaking, that's the National Guard shooter identified by the FBI. | |
| He is not from Washington, D.C., and not cooperating with the authorities. | |
| And, Steve, we do. | |
| NBC is now reporting as of a few minutes ago that the FBI will initially investigate the shooting of two members of the National Guard in D.C. as a possible act of terrorism, according to two senior U.S. law enforcement officials. | |
| The officials said that the suspect who used a handgun in the attack has been initially identified as an Afghan national. | |
| That is according to NBC reporting as of right now. | |
| So, potential Afghan national, and that the FBI is looking at this as a possible act of terrorism, according to NBC News, as of right now. | |
| Hit Rewind, give me that one more time. | |
| I want, guys, if you can put up the Eric Daughty tweet, it's the individual being put into the ambulance. | |
| He's got a beard that looks like a traditional Muslim beard. | |
| Jack, can you give us what NBC News is reporting right now? | |
| Initially identifying or investigating the shooting as a possible act of terrorism per two senior U.S. law enforcement officials, and that officials have initially identified the shooter as an Afghan national. | |
| And that's according to NBC News. | |
| Chris Piota, I'm going to come back to you before going to WID. | |
| You know, Jack Bosobic said in the previous hour of this show, it shouldn't be lost on anybody, just as we think through this night, that the President of the United States signed an executive order designating, at least a study or moving forward with designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. | |
| Your thoughts, sir? | |
| I think it's a great step forward for our national security. | |
| The Muslim Brotherhood has cruised under the radar for decades, and everyone has been reluctant to investigate them solely on their Muslim Brotherhood affiliation. | |
| And if you weren't part of one of the more hardcore identified terror groups, you kind of were able to move through life without FBI or intelligence community scrutiny. | |
| So I think it's a great move forward. | |
| I would just like to see how it progresses. | |
| And I hope the president takes a very assertive stance on this. | |
| WID Lyman, your thoughts? | |
| Now, NBC's identifying this individual, and you've seen that photo. | |
| And if we can get it up on if Denver can put it up, you've seen the photo. | |
| He's not cooperating, but CNN is reporting that he's not from D.C. | |
| And of course, NBC News is saying he's an Afghan national. | |
| Your thoughts, sir? | |
| Again, thoughts and prayers with the two National Guardsmen that are battling right now for their lives. | |
| And this, I think, speaks to the bigger picture of the violence that is occurring in the United States as President Trump kind of pushes forwards with his immigration crackdown. | |
| We're seeing over a thousand percent increase on ICE and Border Patrol officials as they conduct their operations. | |
| We're seeing rhetoric from many Democrats and people on the left that is pointing to people possibly instigating some of these things. | |
| We're seeing just dangerous rhetoric coming out of the governor of Illinois, the mayor in Chicago, the mayor of many other areas. | |
| So I think that we have to be careful and cognizant going forwards. | |
| And again, the violence seems to be increasing across the board, whether it's people in the country that are upset at the administration or a targeted attack on the National Guard here in D.C. | |
| But doesn't this also reinforce what President Trump, the reason that the principal reason that the National Guard was called in, number one was to help with law enforcement in these out-of-control cities. | |
| The other was to help with ICE as ICE started to take out the bad ombres. | |
| Wid, your thoughts on that. | |
| You know, we're hearing a call for National Guard across multiple cities. | |
| The administration wants to send guard troops to Portland, to Chicago, where they've seen the most amount of violence during the immigration raids. | |
| We did an embed with the Chicago area director there for ICE, and he was talking about the rammings that occur, the constant assaults on immigration enforcement as they go through the city, doing what they're lawfully supposed to do. | |
| I mean, there's over a million people in the country that have final removal orders. | |
| These are people that have had their time before a court and are legally supposed to be leaving. | |
| So I think we're seeing just an increase in violence across the board. | |
| And here in D.C., they've had numerous issues with violence for many, many decades. | |
| And the administration is bent on making this area safer. | |
| And I think that the attack tonight highlights the need for more troops, more involvement to making our city safer. | |
| So you think the initial call Pete Hegset tonight, the Secretary of War, to say, hey, I've talked to the president. | |
| We're sending in 500 more troops into D.C. right away. | |
| You think that's fully justified? | |
| It certainly sounds like it. | |
| And I'm going to trust the administration to do the right thing at this moment. | |
| They obviously have more information than we do, but we'd like to see National Guard protecting our laws and our people throughout the entire country and certainly here in the Capitol. | |
| Wid, hang on, Chris, Jack, Jack, I'm going to come back to you about your called shot. | |
| We're going to take a short commercial break here in Real America's Voice. | |
| You're in the war room as we expanded coverage tonight, sitting in for John Solomon and the team that are out for Thanksgiving. | |
| Short commercial break, back in a moment. | |
| We will fight till they're all gone. | |
| We rejoice when there's no more. | |
| Let's take down the CCP. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K-Man. | |
| Denver, if you'd be so kind to put up the photograph of the shooter, Jack Basobic, you called this a couple hours ago. | |
| You said, hey, it shouldn't be lost on people. | |
| The president just signed this very controversial executive order about the Muslim Brotherhood. | |
| I mean, we've been talking about it all day. | |
| We had Laura Loomer on this morning with Alex Jones, and both of them went off on it. | |
| And now NBC News is reporting that this individual, the shooter who is not cooperating with the FBI, is from Afghanistan, sir. | |
| Again, Steve, these are all initial reports, the same as the photo. | |
| So I just want to say that, you know, we're going off of the information that we're receiving. | |
| Of course, I'm working my sources within the federal government as well. | |
| A lot of people off for the Thanksgiving holiday. | |
| I was already also planning to be off with my family for the Thanksgiving holiday, but fortunately, Tanya, Tay, and the boys are very understanding. | |
| And we'll get there. | |
| We'll get there. | |
| But, Steve, what we're seeing now is this report saying that it may have been an Afghan national, and that I'm hearing as well as NBC that international, that not just terrorism, but international terrorism is being looked at as a potential motive by the FBI. | |
| So, international terrorism and Afghan national being named by senior federal law enforcement. | |
| And this is something that you certainly have to look at in the context of President Trump signing that executive order just a few days ago. | |
| In fact, when we were there last Friday, we knew that it was in the works and they were looking at signing it soon. | |
| The president signed it just a few days later. | |
| Steve, I remember I mentioned it to you off air actually that evening. | |
| And so that the Muslim Brotherhood EO was coming up. | |
| So this is something where, you know, we also know that Northern Virginia, a lot of the Afghans that even the United States brought out during the fall of Kabul ended up in on those planes, ended up in Northern Virginia. | |
| And so a lot of questions then coming forward. | |
| If this was an Afghan national, what immigration status are they here under? | |
| Did they come during the fall of Kabul? | |
| Did they come under some other auspices? | |
| Again, all of this is going to come out in the investigation. | |
| And a lot of people that were very upset about that, about the number that we were taking. | |
| Chris Paiota, when the FBI is telling NBC News and CNN and others that this is now going to be, they're going to also look about the international terrorism aspect of this from an individual who's been identified as an Afghan national. | |
| What does that tell you, sir, as a former senior FBI assistant director? | |
| It means they're taking out all the stops. | |
| They're going to use all available authorities and resources and investigative avenues to find out what this person's about, who he knows, where he's been. | |
| And as mentioned previously, how did he enter our country? | |
| When did he enter? | |
| Who sponsored him in if he was sponsored? | |
| It's going to be a very, very fast-moving investigation. | |
| The scope will widen as it moves forward. | |
| And using the international terrorism umbrella gives the FBI more access to certain intelligence collection resources than a normal criminal investigative effort would. | |
| Isn't this also one of the reasons I've designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization? | |
| You get the ability to look at money laundering, finance, the networks they've got to actually do logistics and financing of this, sir? | |
| Absolutely. | |
| They want to make sure they can characterize a network, if it exists. | |
| They want to identify everyone in it. | |
| And then they're going to figure out how to interdict that network of logistical support or money or whatever the support function is. | |
| So that's why they're opening this up. | |
| And if the individual shooter, as identified, is an Afghan national and they were able to make some reasonable inferences, it's the prudent thing to do at this point. | |
| With Lyman, it's been, at least we're getting reports that the FBI is now looking at this as a potential part of international terrorism. | |
| Your thoughts, sir? | |
| I agree with Mr. Paiota completely because I think that allowing this designation gives them more resources going forwards and allows them to do more and access more different types of information. | |
| We see this with a designation of the Mexican cartels. | |
| It allows the federal government to utilize more resources and throw more weight at the problem itself. | |
| And it gives them opportunity. | |
| So I think this designation is shocking, not surprising, and certainly good going forwards because they can allow for all of these full of government to go forwards. | |
| By the way, Eric Bowling, the host of the 5 o'clock just or the 4 o'clock show, just sent me according to CNN. | |
| The suspect approached the guardsmen, clearly intending to target them. | |
| He fired first at one soldier who was a mere feet away. | |
| A second soldier tried to take cover behind a bus stop shelter. | |
| The shooter then turned and fired at him too. | |
| The suspect had zero identification on him. | |
| It's completely stonewalling investigators. | |
| This wasn't random. | |
| This wasn't a robbery. | |
| This wasn't wrong place, wrong time. | |
| This was a calculated execution attempt on American troops in broad daylight in the nation's capital and literally in the shadow of the White House. | |
| Jack Pasovic, your thoughts, sir. | |
| Look, Steve, we live in a real world. | |
| We live during dangerous times. | |
| We see radical Marxism. | |
| We see the way that the radical Marxists have opened our borders to all slew of America's adversaries, bringing in totally unvetted third worlders from all over the place. | |
| You look at these programs from the Middle East that we've talked about again and again and again, these visa programs where they're just letting anybody declare asylum, letting anyone declare that they should be able to enter the United States, then overstaying visas in many cases, overstaying temporary status. | |
| It's something obviously that Stephen Miller has warned about. | |
| It's something that we've been warning about here for years on the program. | |
| And, you know, I wish I could say, I wish I could say that we had no indication, but this was avoidable. | |
| This was absolutely avoidable. | |
| And anyone who supported those programs really needs to take a strong look at themselves in the mirror after this. | |
| With Lyman, we're going to let you go. | |
| We want to thank the Border Hawk for being here. | |
| Where do people get your show? | |
| Where do they get your content on Twitter, sir? | |
| Thank you for the opportunity. | |
| Borderhawk.news is the website, Wid underscore Lyman, or Borderhawk News on Twitter. | |
| Border Hawk, you're amazing. | |
| Thank you for stepping in today. | |
| Fantastic reporting from the streets right around the White House. | |
| Chris Pijota, thank you very much for stepping in here. | |
| Can we get your coordinates, your social media? | |
| Where do people follow you, sir? | |
| Sure, I'm on the X platform at Chris Pijota. | |
| I also have a YouTube channel that I just started up, Ordinary People9513, where we talk about some good stuff. | |
| And of course, thank you for showing my X site. | |
| And I authored a book about the FBI called Wanted the FBI. | |
| I once knew. | |
| Talks about how the FBI changed and what we can do to get it back on track. | |
| Appreciate being here with you today. | |
| Now, Chris, we're looking forward to having you back on the war room and with Lyman also. | |
| Great job, guys, stepping in today. | |
| Pozo is going to ride shotgun. | |
| I think John Fredericks is at the White House or is just at the White House. | |
| We're going to try to get him up. | |
| Short break. | |
| back in the warm in just a moment. | |

| The response we've gotten from War Posse is amazing. | |
| Jack, we're going to wrap up the show here. | |
| I want to thank Real America's Voice. | |
| Took John stepped in for John Solomon and Amanda Head today. | |
| You've got some breaking news, Jack. | |
| Yeah, Steve, this comes from Julio Rosas. | |
| He's a Marine. | |
| Of course, he's done a lot of this street reporting in the past. | |
| He's someone who's got excellent, impeccable sources within law enforcement, specifically in Washington, D.C. | |
| He writes: Law and sort of law enforcement source in D.C. tells me the National Guardsman shooting suspect is an Afghan national who used a revolver. | |
| A National Guardsman who was not armed with a firearm used a pocket knife to stab the suspect. | |
| Another guardsman responded to the gunfire and shot the suspect multiple times. | |
| The suspect reportedly shouted, Allahu Akbar. | |
| A pocket knife. | |
| Allahu Akbar. | |
| By the way, Laura Loomer, hat tip to you. | |
| You called this in the first 30 seconds the picture was up. | |
| John Fredericks, you were actually on the location. | |
| You join us now from near the White House. | |
| What happened? | |
| Well, listen, this is two blocks from the White House. | |
| This is right by where I live. | |
| Actually, my son, Joe, is home from Maryland baseball. | |
| We walked right by there about 30 minutes, 35 minutes before this. | |
| We always say hi to the National Guard. | |
| They have revitalized this city. | |
| But let me tell you what went on today. | |
| This is a political assassination. | |
| This was, you got the Democrats out there, Jack and Steve, every day talking about their Nazis. | |
| You know, they're occupying the city, all this nonsense. | |
| If you talk to the residents of D.C. like me, they love the National Guard. | |
| All the protests you get here are not from residents of Washington, D.C. They're not from the black community. | |
| It's all from white liberals coming from their mansions, their gated mansions in Northern Virginia, Montgomery County. | |
| And so what happened today is horrific. | |
| Now, we can't back down because what they really want is us to cave, get the National Guard out, let the crime come back. | |
| Not going to happen. | |
| In fact, Pete Hegstad today said, Look, tomorrow, I'm sending 500 more National Guard in to protect the city. | |
| Now, this was, I mean, coming out of here, we see them every single day. | |
| We talk, we say, hi, thank you for being here. | |
| How is things going? | |
| Don't get down. | |
| All the people spitting on you or whatever. | |
| They don't live here. | |
| The residents love you. | |
| Look, look, Jack, they walk around, they pick up trash. | |
| They clean off graffiti. | |
| They plant flowers. | |
| This is what the National Guard does, and they protect you. | |
| When I first came here in December, it was an absolute crap hole. | |
| I couldn't go down the street. | |
| I couldn't take Ann out to supper. | |
| I would never let her ride the metro. | |
| Now we live in the safest city in America. | |
| The revitalization that President Trump has done in Washington and D.C. in eight, nine months is the greatest metamorphosis in the galaxy. | |
| This is now the greatest city with as far as crime is down. | |
| Ann goes on the metro. | |
| Joe goes on the metro. | |
| I go on it every day, walk the streets. | |
| I just took my family right now. | |
| I stepped out for dinner. | |
| No worries because of what Trump has done. | |
| This message has got to go nationally. | |
| And we can't let a political assassin stop this. | |
| And that's basically what happened here. | |
| John Fredericks, social media, I know you're going to be up all night tonight. | |
| We're getting ready to punch here. | |
| Where do people go? | |
| You were down there today. | |
| You live right around the corner. | |
| Great report on the National Guard. | |
| What's shocking is that one of the National Guardmen did not have a weapon or he didn't have a gun. | |
| What he had was a pocket knife. | |
| John, where do people go to get more of your reporting tonight? | |
| Really easy. | |
| I'm all over social media at JF Radio Show, at JF Radio Show. | |
| Everything is there. | |
| Jack and Steve, thanks for having me. | |
| Jack, John, thank you so much, and thank you for the great report. | |
| Pasobe, before we leave, turn it over to the Stinchfield show. | |
| I've got to ask you, we had Laura Loomer, we had Loomer on today, and we had Alex Jones and you in the second hour of the morning show to talk about, hey, why do we need 75 days on the Muslim Brotherhood, right? | |
| We've studied this for years. | |
| Understand President Trump does all these. | |
| There is a format as Alex Jones walked through. | |
| But doesn't this show this is now, you know, when the guy's given the jihadist cry before he shoots two National Guardsmen in the head at point-blank range, isn't it time now we say, enough is enough? | |
| Let's go ahead and roll through this designation and start getting serious about throwing this trash out of our country. | |
| Steve, you want to talk about taking out the trash? | |
| I think it's very simple. | |
| Mass deportations is the moderate position. | |
| At this point, mass deportations is the moderate position. | |
| And look, we talked about it earlier. | |
| We talked about the men of the West need to start waking up and handling things. | |
| The men of Texas, I don't know if there's any men left in Washington, D.C., since President Trump's not there right now, but you got a situation where they're coming. | |
| They're raping the women. | |
| They're coming for children. | |
| They're shooting our soldiers. | |
| They're shooting our police officers. | |
| Why are they here, Steve? | |
| Why do we let them into our country? | |
| Why are we told that they had to be here? | |
| When you look at what's going on in Minneapolis, when you look at what's going on in Dearborn, when you look at so many of these places, National Guardsmen being shot up in our capital, in our capital city on a holiday, Steve, that's like something you would hear from a third world country, but it's not. | |
| It's what we're hearing right now in Washington, D.C., in the United States of America today. | |
| Why are they here? | |
| They shouldn't be here. | |
| They need to go. | |
| On the eve of Thanksgiving, you know, the only country in the world that thanks God for the bounty and the blessings we've had. | |
| They're going to shoot them right in the shadow of the White House. | |
| Enough is enough. | |
| We got to stop it. | |
| We have to stop playing games and we got to get serious. | |
| Jack Pasobic, your social media, sir, you are on fire. | |
| Where do people go? | |
| Steve, you can follow me up at Jack Pasobic on Twitter, TrueSocial. | |
| We're going to have a big special this weekend, Thursday, Friday, all about the twisted world of Tyler Robinson. | |
| And I want to just show for the audience, folks who want to know about this, that this is going to be available soon. | |
| I've got here a copy of Charlie Kirk's last book. | |
| This is Stop in the Name of God. | |
| It's about how Charlie used to take off time one day a week, get away from the phone, spend time with God. | |
| Charlie loved Thanksgiving. | |
| He loved a day to just be with the Lord, to be with his family. | |
| This book is coming out on December 9th. | |
| Erica Kirk wrote the foreword to it just a few weeks ago. | |
| Incredible. | |
| Have a great Thanksgiving, Jack, and tell Tanya and the kids, thank you for letting me take you for a couple hours here. | |
| Appreciate it. | |
| Appreciate you. | |
| God bless, Steve. | |
| God bless to the posse and to the National Guardsmen. | |
| We're going to be back here tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. for our Thanksgiving special. | |
| Don't miss it. | |
| Billy Joe Shaver takes us out. | |
| Get thee behind me, Satan. | |
| And I couldn't see myself the demons that were in me and turned me wrong side hell. |
